In some towns, it’s getting harder to pick up your blood-pressure pills with that gallon of milk and rotisserie chicken. Hundreds of regional grocery stores in cities from Minneapolis to Seattle are closing or selling pharmacy counters, which have been struggling as consumers make fewer trips to fill prescriptions and big drugstore chains tighten their grip on the U.S. market. Grocery pharmacies are getting hit on several fronts, analysts and the companies say. They are too small to wrest competitive reimbursement rates on drugs, they aren’t connected to big medical networks or insurers, and they generally lack walk-in clinics and...

Walmart has shared that managers misused $20,000 of a Christmas donation from a foundation associated with Chicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack. Mack's foundation made the $80,000 donation last month to a location in Fort Pierce, Florida, where the star athlete was born and raised. The donation went towards 350 layaway accounts that totaled $60,000. The remaining funds reportedly went to employees in a decision made by the store's management.

A manager at the store in Edinboro found a closed pill bottle with live bugs crawling inside and reported it to authorities Thursday, police said in a release. The bottle was found inside a boy's jacket which was for sale. On Friday, health safety company Ecolab confirmed that the insects were bedbugs. An Ecolab employee also reported seeing bedbugs crawling around the men's changing rooms the same day, according to police. A Walmart employee later found a second closed pill bottle containing dead bedbugs in the men's department, police said. Edinboro is in the northwest corner of the state, near...

Some Amazon third-party sellers sell second-hand products as new on the site—some even claim to sell products they found while digging through garbage dumpsters. The Wall Street Journal set out to test their claims by setting up an Amazon storefront and gathering some trash.

A hard-boiled egg recall has expanded to products sold at Walmart and Trader Joe's following a deadly listeria outbreak. Almark Foods broadened the recall to include all hard-boiled egg products manufactured at its facility in Gainesville, Georgia, due to potential listeria contamination. The listeria outbreak has been linked to seven cases, including one death and four hospitalizations, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. The outbreak is contained to five states, but the recalled products were shipped nationwide. The expanded recall includes popular brands and organic fare, like Egglands Best, Pete & Gerry's and Vital Farms. Trader Joe's egg...

Holiday shopping set records over the weekend, with Super Saturday sales reaching $34.4 billion, the biggest single day in U.S. retail history, according to Customer Growth Partners. “Paced by the ‘Big Four’ mega-retailers -- Walmart, Amazon, Costco and Target -- Super Saturday was boosted by the best traffic our team has seen in years,” said Craig Johnson, president of the retail research firm. Job growth and fatter wallets, along with stronger household finances, have put consumers in a buying mood this season, Johnson said. And more of them are shopping online. As retailers offer improved web platforms, online spending so...

DONALD Trump and Prince Andrew are pictured posing with Ghislaine Maxwell in photos taken at Heidi Klum's hookers and pimps-themed Halloween party in 2000. The president this week claimed not to know the prince, currently under scrutiny over his friendship with Maxwell and late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, despite having been seen with him many times over a period of years.

Jeffrey Epstein’s private wealth banker, who brokered and signed off on untold multiple millions of dollars in controversial Deutsche Bank and Citibank loans spanning two decades for the convicted pedophile, has died from a reported suicide. The news of yet another mysterious Epstein-linked death comes shortly after the FBI was seeking to interview the bank executive about loans he approved for Epstein and the indicted child trafficker’s labyrinth of US-based and offshore companies. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed Thomas Bowers died by an apparent suicide by hanging at his home before Thanksgiving.

Forget the $120,000 banana, this new piece of art is priceless… The duct-taped banana at Art Basel is gone and has been replaced with “Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself,” which security quickly covered up. And the fact that they felt the need to hide it makes this modern art by definition.

Hello management of Walmart. It's time. I've been posting that for quite a while here on Free Republic and have been waiting for a battle to pick and I'm picking it with you Walmart. I have been to four different Walmarts in the area over the past 3 days and noticed you have kept your word and have ceased selling handgun ammo. I am calling on ALL CHL holders to help me in this effort and I rarely do something like this, if ever. Walmart, you need to immediately (that is within 2 weeks) begin re-stocking and selling handgun ammo...

Soon a man in the crowd – not shown on camera – interjected to ask: “What about corruption in Ukraine?” [cut] But before Biden could address the Ukraine question on Friday, the crowd booed the protester and began to chant, “We want Joe!” Biden seemed to follow the crowd's lead. “This man represents Donald Trump very well. He’s just like Donald Trump,” Biden said of the protester, who appeared to leave the event, with the crowd waving goodbye to him -- though it was unclear if he chose to leave or if he was forced out either by security or...

Police say Henry Harvey and his wife were waiting in line at the retailer around 7:15 p.m., when Harvey “became angry over the customers in front of them taking too long to check out at the register," per a news release. Harvey and another customer then got into a verbal argument, which turned physical when Harvey punched the victim in the head. The victim was not seriously injured, police say. Harvey then left the Walmart and went home, where police apprehended the 69-year-old and placed him under arrest. He was charged with battery.

Walmart has apologized for going too far with an adult-only Christmas themed sweater that portrays jolly old Saint Nick with cocaine. The holiday sweater featured on the retailer’s Canada website showed Santa Clause gripping a straw, seated in front of a table with three lines of a white substance and below that it read, “Let It Snow,” per the New York Post in a piece published Monday. (RELATED: NRA Rips Walmart For Banning Some Ammunition Sales) “These sweaters, sold by a third-party seller on Walmart.ca, do not represent Walmart’s values and have no place on our website,” a spokesperson shared....

Hilarious video! A guy got a Walmart employee to page a Mr. Clinton Killedpstein.

On Wednesday, 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton tied President Donald Trump to mass shooting during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show.” Stern asked, “What goes through your mind when he’s got these people revved up. You know ‘lock her up, lock her up, lock her up’? Even now, its ‘lock her up.’ Are you afraid for your own life, honestly?” Clinton said, “Honestly, I have been in the past. Remember some months ago, the guy who was inspired by him started sending pipe bombs around to me, to former President Obama and others. So clearly he just...

Customer service lady at Walmart gets punked to make an announcment over the store intercom asking Clinton Kilt Epstein to come to the front of the store. Video here.

Well, this is disturbing. Major book retailers are encouraging kids to summon their own personal devils this Christmas. All they have to do is convince their loving parents to gift them the next best kids' book, A Children’s Book of Demons, sure to be a hit in kindergarten classrooms nationwide. LifeSiteNews reported that the book, written by Aaron Leighton, will instruct kids on how to “conjure gentle demons by writing their sigils, which serve as ‘a phone number’ straight to the spirit.” Heck, yeah. Remove the uncertainty that comes with old school Ouija boards and direct dial Satan and his...

Walmart shoppers are threatening to boycott the store after discovering employees aren't paid extra to work on Thanksgiving. Instead, Walmart offers them 10% and 15% discounts to shop in its store. The 15% discount is only available Dec. 5 and Dec. 6. Walmart said the policy has been in place for three years. "We simplified our paid time-off policies in 2016 to combine vacation, holiday, sick and personal time into one bucket," Walmart said in a statement. "As part of that change, we no longer offer holiday pay. We did this to give our associates greater flexibility and more choice...
