The retail giant Walmart is trying to raise prices on their vendors for shelf space and the suppliers aren't taking it too well.

Walmart has been notorious for supplier/vendor contracts ie usually Walmart wins.

I have never heard of such a thing. Imagine a store charging manufacturers storage fees so that Walmart can keep it's own shelves stocked! I suppose this is just the latest evolution of business though, just like robots doing everything in other businesses.....in the end, it's still always the little guy who loses while the 1% gain even more of the pie.
