Walmart announced that it will replace paper labels with digital ones in 2,300 stores. This measure will serve to reduce the updating of prices as well as other processes that include collecting supplies from online dispatches to seconds.

Digital labels are, at first glance, very similar to the paper ones you see on shelves or shelves. However, these are small screens where the price of more than 120,000 items in the American chain’s stores is projected.

“Digital labels will be installed on the shelves of 2,300 of the company’s stores in 2026, almost half of its total park (4,700 stores),” according to Walmart senior vice president of transformation and innovation, Greg Cathey.

Through digital labels, the time that the company has invested until now in weekly updates of the paper labels on the shelves will be reduced to a minimum. A job that on average took two days will be done in about two minutes. To do this, workers will only need to click on the mobile application called Me@Walmart.

Buyers of the American chain Walmart in the United States or Puerto Rico could be entitled to a refund of up to $500 for a mass lawsuit filed in 2022 alleging excessive charging on some products, including those that indicated the retailer’s discount.

At the time of filing the lawsuit, those affected alleged that “they were deceptively induced to think that they were paying reduced prices on products such as meats, poultry and seafood.”

On the other hand, they pointed out that Walmart had wrongly placed the weight labels on packaged products, such as oranges and tangerines, among others, “falsely announcing that the weight was higher than it really was.”

The refund agreement states that Walmart customers in the United States or Puerto Rico who have purchased “products by weight or bagged citrus at a store, supercenter, or neighborhood market store in the United States or Puerto Rico since December 19 October 2018 through January 19, 2024, may be eligible for a cash payment.”

Regarding payments to buyers, the sums are as follows: USD 10 for those who do not have the receipt or purchase invoice but can attest to having purchased up to 50 products by weight or bagged citrus fruits in person; USD 15 for customers without a receipt or other proof of purchase, but who can certify having purchased 51 to 75 products by weight and/or bagged citrus; USD 20 for customers without a receipt or other proof of purchase, but who can attest to having purchased 76 to 100 products by weight or bagged citrus; USD 25 for people without an invoice but who can attest to having purchased 101 or more products by weight or bagged citrus; up to USD 500 for those with receipts or other proof of purchase for each merchandise by weight and/or bagged citrus purchased at a Walmart store during the agreement period. In this case, clients will receive 2% of the total amount of the merchandise by weight and bagged citrus purchased justified up to USD 500.

The store chain has clarified that buyers can try to retrieve receipts for their purchase through the company’s website. And the deadline to make your claim online or via email is next June 5.

Amazon will join the Dow Jones Industrial Index, which brings together 30 of the largest companies in the United States. In this change, Amazon will replace the titles of the Walgreens Boots Alliance pharmacy chain, which had joined Wall Street’s most popular select in 2018.

The decision to include Amazon in the Dow Jones index is due to the ‘split’ made by the retail giant Walmart, which divided the value of its shares by three, thus reducing its weight in the selective.

The index’s manager, S&P Dow Jones Indices, explained that this addition reflects the changing nature of the U.S. economy. In addition, being a price-weighted index, stocks with higher prices have a greater weight in the selectivity.

On the other hand, Uber Technologies will also replace JetBlue Airways on the Dow Jones Transportation Index, the oldest stock exchange index still in use. The aim is to increase exposure to the travel-sharing industry, given the low price of JetBlue shares in the index.

Amazon’s inclusion in the Dow Jones coincides with the recent sale of 50 million shares of the e-commerce giant by its founder, Jeff Bezos, in exchange for $8.523 million. This transaction took place between February 15 and 20, according to the records of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
