Walmart extending 10% employee discount to groceries, WSJ reports

Walmart (WMT) is expanding its 10% employee discount to include nearly all grocery purchases, effective immediately, in an effort to help employees with rising grocery costs amid inflation, The Wall Street Journal’s Sarah Nassauer reports. Extending the discount to more goods year-round is “one of our most requested benefits,” said Walmart Chief People Officer Donna Morris in a letter to staff Wednesday. Amazon’s (AMZN) Whole Foods currently offers workers a 20% discount on most in-store purchases on the first day of employment, while Target (TGT) offers a 20% discount on fresh and frozen produce and some store brand items and a 10% discount on most other goods, available on the first day of employment.
