The Tarrifs are coming to a store near you very soon.

I work for a very large retailer (Store Manager) and we have been told that we will be doing numerous price increases in the next two weeks due to the tariffs. Enough that they have allocated more hours to our teams that will be doing the pricing. Interesting to see how this plays out. Also interesting that they have yet to give us the company line to customers as to why this is happening, only informing us that this is because of the tariffs.

Prices are up significantly across the board.

The Trump Excise tax will bump them up another 20 percent or so.

Are you able to say at all which types of products will be hardest hit at the retailer?

The Ponzi Don Tax will be assessed to most Retail Items. Are you ready folks,it is coming to your nearest Cash Register . Even the Domestic Products are going to be jacked up if they fall into the same categories as the Imports.

After all,it is the American way.
