Depends on the store. Some big store like Walmart and even smaller ones like gas stations operate essentially on consignment for large sections of the store.
They'll have a Coca-Cola section on the shelves that's reserved for Coke products and are even stocked by Coca-Cola employees, and Coke is paid when the store sells the product.
There are also brands that pay for their products specifically to be separated from the competition. For instance, if you go to the chip aisle, and you'll find Tostito's queso with the Tostidos chips. That queso isn't located with the other cheese dips on the condiment aisle, because they pay for the stores not to have their impulse-buy products located where a customer can easily look and see that the other brand is 1/2 the price.
I'm aware of that. I even wanted to add an asterisk to my text but couldn't remember that it was called consignment, so I left it out.
In the end you don't know for sure if a store operates on consignment, and in return if you sabotage the store or the company. And even if you know, destroying products, all the labour, resources and energy that went into it, just to fuck a company is still stupid and wasteful.
