supply chain? In many US stores the shelves are often essentially rental property and the vendors stock them themselves.

That's true for bigger manufacturers like fritolay but not all work the same. I've never read their contract/service agreements so I can't say what is in the terms but I imagine they're different for big corporations like a Walmart vs a small town local store.
