I can't believe they sell these. I can't believe people buy them.

Especially when you can get them for $0.54 at Home Depot. Some people just don't shop around.

you can tell the difference between a high quality and a low quality outlet by how it feels when you plug something in. Those commercial or hospital grade outlets feel so much more secure.

So according to billb and GGD, Walmart is gouging people.

Yep, bought a multi-pack of commercial outlets to replace a bunch in an older home where the outlets were mounted above baseboard heaters, installed several decades ago.
The plastic was dried-out and just crumbled to pieces during removal.

That's not gouging that's making a product for a market.
If you want an outlet that's going to last longer you buy one that's made to last longer.
Can you afford a Yugo or an Audi when you go to buy a car ?
