Oh no. Not Walmart. Leave it to America to be more concerned about the shareholders and not the people within the borders.
We can be concerned about both things equally, can't we?
Edit I used the word "concerned" because I was responding to the comment above me and he said "concerned". "Interested" would be a more suitable word because this is an interesting topic. We're interested that Walmart is taking a hit and we're also interested that snap people are taking a hit. It's interesting. Tragic for the snap people but interesting for the demise of walmart.
Why are you as equally worried about Walmart shareholders as you are starving people?
Ok then go back & re-read my comment & the comment I was replying to, and swap the word "concerned" for "interested."
Nah. Having seen small towns crushed when Walmart comes in and all the mom & pop shops close. So then your options to shop are Walmart or Amazon or drive to the next town. Fuck em.
Why would anyone avoid their local Walmart just to drive to the next town to use their Walmart?...
You ask that question, in a lot of rural areas the small walmart in town is run down and doesn't get as much stock. It reduces slowly over time until shopping at that walmart is a waste of time and people go to the next one. So Walmart closes down the "Underperforming" walmart forcing people to go to the bigger one few towns over, centralizing and cutting the amount of staff/delivery locations walmart has to deal with, making them more money.
Can’t get in the car and say “no, not that one. Let’s go the nice one”if you don’t put in the work.
Equally would be tough for me. The cutting shifts of the workers will suck though. That's near $ billion that doesn't need to be shelved and onwards. (Possibly ordered).
