Walmart closing 63 Sam's Club stores and laying off thousands of workers

[newworldafro]

They nixed the one in BR wow.

They closed the closest to me in Houston, which is at the end of a light rail line, and across from Reliant Stadium.



Who gone provide my supersize groceries and consumer products in an easily accessible location mayne?!?!?

Dr. Boyce Watkins said build your own shiit, so bout start NWA's Club. Same concept, different direction. You gone get undersized groceriee and consumer goods. Instead of 18 eggs...you getting 6 for same price as 18.

You want 12 poppyseed muffins, how bout 4, and one will be a surprise....for the same price as 12.

Didn't they do the same last year when they raised it up to 10 dollars? This gonna be a yearly thing now of laying off a bunch of ppl and raising the hourly wage

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Bringing down Wal-Mart is part of the liberal doctrine. You should be pleased at this news.

It's more nuanced but...yeah bitter sweet victories usually are

Looking at the list. Alaska losing their Wal-Mart.

that doesnt mean keeping weak-performing locations open

if these places were worth keeping open, they'd keep them open. they arent worth it

I am starting to notice a pattern with you...

Tax cut at work. More jobs on the way

I thought Trickle down economics would work... tax cuts for the rich would Generate jobs....

They nixed the one in BR wow.

When I heard it was closing I thought it was gonna be in a month or so. That shyt is closed now.

2 striking points that's should be noted for this move.

1. They site lack of population growth. Yet people want to kick immigrants out and/or make it harder for them to come into the country.

2. Wealthy people don't shop at Sam's club or Wal-Mart. Middle class families do so again, when they site lack of population growth it's an admission that the middle class isn't growing.


By laying off workers they obviously don't see them as even middle class workers so they don't matter.


Finally..... how else did you think they were going to pay for those pay raises and bonuses. Those tax breaks will be going shareholders and execs. The rest will help build those fulfillment centers.

theres a lot of terrible posting in here . this was clearly in the works for a while but dudes are acting like walmart saw the writing on the wall for Sams Club last week, and made this decision yesterday

again, i thought we all agreed that walmart is an awful corporation. thats quite the 180 from begging them to stay open to exploit workers and fukk over small business

The 1000 dollar bonus is for people at the company 20 years

im saying. if this location was doing enough business...they would keep it open. to make money

dudes are acting like walmart, the private business, is the government thats obligated to provide a service this does not equate to shutting down RMVs and post offices. at all
