Walmart shopper alleges sale price racket in stores — cla...

Walmart’s getting slammed for an alleged price tag scam. 

Eagle-eyed shoppers are side-eyeing the multinational retailer amid viral claims it’s sneakily jacking up the costs of “clearance” items, tricking customers into paying more for products believed to be on sale. 

“Check your local Walmart because we be getting scammed,” urged TikTok user Austin Adams while perusing the home goods section of his local store. “We’re getting robbed blind.”

Capturing video receipts of the suspected deceit, Adams peeled back the yellow clearance tag of a 16-foot Hyper Tough extension cord priced at $16.48. Upon peeking behind the label, he revealed the equipment’s original cost, $15.88. 

Adams uncovered the same mislabeling on a different extension cord, marked with a clearance sticker price of $23.92, which was originally $22.97. 

“Walmart is doing us dirty,” he captioned the vid, forewarning his nearly 150,000 viewers on TikTok of the presumed perpetration. 

Specifics related to the store in question remain unknown. 

Representatives for Walmart declined The Post’s request for comment.

But the big-box shop is no stranger to censure. 

From being named in holiday shopping scams to being accused of hiking prices in the wake of the inflation crisis, Walmart has repeatedly landed in social media’s hot seat in recent years. 

And now, in the wake of the latest cost-cranking claims, incensed internet critics are eagerly stoking the fire. 

“Boycott Walmart,” barked an outraged commenter, calling for a mass protest.  

“Everybody’s [price] gouging,” exclaimed an equally irked consumer. 

“Nothing new from Wally World,” another groaned.

Amid the onslaught, a purported Walmart worker chimed in to defend the brand against the angry mob. 

“Walmart associate here. Check the date the label was printed. It’s always under the last 4 [digits] of the barcode,” wrote the anonymous staffer. “If you see multiple labels, look for the one printed most recently — guarantee you, it’s not as much of a scam as you think.”

“Some stores don’t do price checks like they’re supposed to do, hence more stores moving to digital tags now,” the alleged insider added, referring to the new digital shelf label (DSL) technology that debuted across 2,300 US Walmart locations in March. 

“The home office changes the prices remotely that way,” the commenter continued of the DSLs, which the company expects to release chain-wide within the next year. 

Walmart whistleblowers, however, are already crying foul over the newfangled features. 

“[These] electronic pricing tags that can change prices based on surge pricing,” an influencer, virtually known as @SupAmerica, alleged in a trending clip. “These prices can change at a moment’s notice and they do throughout the day.”

“These prices will go up three to five cents, depending on what time of day it is,” he claimed, referring to the costs of meat seasoning packets. “And they’ll go up when more people are here shopping, and they’ll go down when fewer people are here.”

The content creator did not immediately respond to The Post’s inquiry regarding the store’s whereabouts, times of the alleged surge pricing and more. 

While angered audience members virtually impaled the imprint for its rumored wrongdoing, arguing that price tinkering “should be illegal,” Walmart diehards jumped to its rescue beneath the post. 

“I work for Walmart,” claimed a commenter. “We are not doing surge pricing. Not at all.”
