The superstore has urged managers across the country to improve performance in its dairy, meat and produce departments.
The memo, marked "highly sensitive," tells Walmart marketing managers to make sure that the company’s 4,965 United States stores discount aging meat and baked goods to maximize the chance that those items will sell before their expiration dates. The memo—leaked for public use by a Walmart manager unhappy about understaffing—also tells stores to be sure to "rotate" dairy products and eggs, which means removing expired items and adding new stock at the bottom and back of display cases.
