I have had the same experience with empty shelves, more times lately than I can count. One ploy that I have seen is that the regular item that I purchase isn't on the shelf, but a Wal-Mart brand of the same item is there, instead. The "regular-item" space on the shelf is empty. An example of this is that I used to buy Crystal Light Lemonade Singles, for $1.99 per box. Wal-Mart upped the price to $2.48, then removed the name brand, and left that space empty, and put in their own brand of the drink, right next to the empty space. I tried the Wal-Mart brand, it was undrinkable. I won't buy it, again. This has been going on for several months, now. Empty shelves have become the norm at our local Wal-Mart. In fact, I was there today, and there were even more items not on the shelves that I used to buy. While the closest Target to me is about 30 miles, I would now rather shop there, than to deal with Wal-Mart. And, by the way, the store was absolutely packed with customers, and there were only two registers open--just one more reason to start looking for alternative retailers.
