Sydney Sweeney's Jeans Send American Eagle Stock Soaring

Who knew a pair of jeans could spark so much drama—and cash? American Eagle’s latest ad with Sydney Sweeney got everyone talking (and arguing) online, but it worked: the brand’s stock shot up 25% after the campaign, even though overall sales dipped a bit. The lesson? Sometimes, a little controversy can make your favorite jeans even more valuable. But heads up—if inflation keeps rising, those jeans might cost you more next season. #Business #LocalBusiness #AmericanEagle

Walmart refund drama leaves shoppers divided

A Utah shopper’s $350 return at Walmart turned into a hot topic after he was given store credit instead of a credit card refund. He claims he never chose store credit, but Walmart says otherwise. The debate is heating up online, with some siding with the shopper and others saying it’s on him to double-check return options. This isn’t the first time Walmart’s return policy has frustrated customers, and it’s raising questions about how clear and fair these policies really are. Have you ever had a return go sideways at a big retailer? #Business #LocalBusiness #Walmart

Aldi pulls self-checkout—what’s next for shoppers?

Aldi has quietly removed self-checkout stations from its stores, just as many shoppers had gotten used to the speed and convenience. Some folks say it’s a step backward, especially for quick trips, while others remember the headaches of ID checks and machine errors. Employees hint that the self-checkouts didn’t actually save time and needed more staff help than expected. With theft concerns and long lines returning, it’s got people debating: Is this a smart move or a miss for Aldi’s famously efficient style? How do you feel about the return to all-staffed lanes? #Business #LocalBusiness #Aldi
