As in, “once, because it basically bankrupted Rubbermaid”.
They played those games with everyone, like Clorox, book and magazine companies, General Mills, etc. But most towns have a Walmart and don’t have a lot of other options, so if you want sales you play ball with the Waltons :(
From the sound of things in that documentary Rubbermaid got bent over on that deal and was almost bankrupted by it so I imagine it’s been an ongoing thing.

Yes, I watched the documentary one time. Not sure why that needs to be highlighted.

I thought you meant they did it Rubbermaid once. As in Rubbermaid didn’t let them do that again.
