Walmart has a lot of expensive things that as far as I`ve seen don`t ever get purchased. Walmart has a $300 KitchenAid blender. I`ve never seen anyone buy one of these but Walmart still sells them. I`ve never seen anyone buy their +$300 compressor either but they haven`t stopped selling them. Of course they only have two or three of these things on the shelves. And I think that`s exactly what Walmart will do with Autoglym. They aren`t gonna have ten of these things on the shelves - probably only four at the most.
I`ve been shopping at Walmart for years (at least 10) and I haven`t once seen stuff like their expensive KitchenAid mixers thrown in the discount aisle just because no one is buying them.
I really don`t think Walmart cares if stuff like Autoglym doesn`t fly off the shelves because they have thousands of other products that are flying off the shelves every day and that money more than makes up for stuff like Autoglym that only gets purchased occasionally.
Also think of it this way - You hear or read that Walmart sells Autoglym. You go in the store and even if you end up not buying the Autoglym there`s a good chance you will walk out with something else. Possibly something even more expensive than the wax. And Walmart still wins.
