That's an entirely separate but related issue - stock rotation has to be managed, and commingling (in theory) helps alleviate the issue. Removing it means that you may find quite old product sold alongside brand new.

(I suspect but have not proven that Walmart actually rotates UPCs/SKUs on identical product so they can remainder it out).
