Walmart customer accuses Kellogg\u2019s of \u2018keeping community poor\u2019 with shockingly high prices TikTok: @trendyjohnsunscreenViewers are saying that Kellogg\u2019s is \u2018keeping the community poor,\u2019 after a TikToker travelled to a lower income community and still found high prices. Kellogg\u2019s has been making headlines, after people decided to boycott the brand, when their CEO revealed that they were lowering the cost of their items, so that people could eat cereal for dinner. However, this backfired, and people began speculating that this was merely a ploy to increase prices at a later date, after getting everyone hooked. After Kellogg\u2019s was cancelled, we saw viral videos of the brands\u2019 cereal discontinued in stores everywhere. However, a new TikTok suggests that this might not be the case everywhere. A Walmart shopper named John filmed a video where he travelled to a lower income area in Orlando, and checked out the Kellogg\u2019s prices in a local Walmart. Many of the people who shopped there regularly had to use food stamps to buy food. \u201cSo I\u2019ve had a lot of people ask me to go to a lower-income area in Orlando,\u201d he says. \u201cSo I\u2019m at the Walmart on Colonial, and since a lot of people typically use food stamps to be able to buy their groceries, people wanted to see what the levels of Kellogg\u2019s product looked like in that area.\u201d We then saw a ton of branded items, including Pop Tarts, Rice Krispies, breakfast cereals, Cheez-It\u2019s, Pringles \u2013 none of which are discounted. People shocked over undiscounted Kellog\u2019s items After the video was posted on the platform, it gained over 355,000 views, with people shocked to see the undiscounted prices. \u201cI could be mistaken but it looks like the prices are not as discounted as I\u2019ve seen in other stores. now why would that be?\u201d one viewer asked. \u201cSo discounted everywhere except in low income neighborhoods. I\u2019m not surprised,\u201d another said, clearly disappointed. \u201cThey do this at purpose at local low income community stores because they depend on stamps or assistance being used while forcing to pay \u2018full price\u2019 keeping the community poor,\u201d one accused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
