Walmart suddenly closes 5 stores

[John -- '02 HAWK]

Hell no because I would have find a new place to buy my ammo!

gander mountain might drop their prices if walmart closed

Most importantly, there's a brand new Buc-ees on the north side of Temple.

I stop in there twice a week or so. Their Hippo burrito kicks ass! They also have by far the cheapest beer prices and a surprisingly good variety.

I just got finished with a seance with the late Sam Walton and he told me that there is no conspiracy going on here. They truly just have a plumbing problem in that they are trying to flush out all of the union shit and the 5 stores were the ones that were the fullest of that kind of shit.

i wouldnt mind if they closed every. single. one.

god bless.

I concur. I stopped in one yesterday morning right at 7am though, to pick up some golf balls, as not to pay the clubhouse rape premium, and it wasn't too bad. The only reason I set foot in there is because I knew it'd be empty.

Agreed.

Although it might kick-start the apocalypse, I'm game.

Have to love the conspiracy angle on this situation.

One of the more hilariously paradoxical elements found within the ramblings of ultra right-wing dickheads:

-The government is so incompetent they cant even get anything simple to go right!
-The government has perfectly executed this ludicrously complex conspiracy/plan without any flaw.

I guess thats one way of getting out of the 25 an hour the Midland store was paying.

Walmart hiked its minimum wage to $10/hr, so they had to lay people off to make that sustainable. They even handled it right, no matter what the media says. They offered 2 months' severance for everyone laid off.

To full time people right? Most of Walmart's people are part time. They did say they could transfer though. I guess that will teach them to picket their employers.

Competition with the drilling rigs caused this right?

Yup. They were actually trying to get ahead of minimum wages in several states, so they just went chain-wide. It's kind of a gimme.

Pretty much. I've seen fast food joints offering $15-18 starting pay out there.
