It looks like California is not part of the US
It is a funny headline, very California-centered.
I agree.
Former Walmart shoppers are now shopping at dollar stores where things like "bargain" cleaner brands are little more than water in containers painted to look like name brands.
I'm afraid you are correct.
Fuuny story. My son couldn’t understand why he couldn’t find an Amazon Gift Card at Walmart. (snicker)
Yeah, the national and local news keeps telling me the economy is great and wonderful.
Just like Barry Obama sez......
Obamacare?
ROTFLMAO ...... Great analogy Grace....:o) Fits perfect.
Brick and mortar stores are all in trouble. Macy’s is closing a number of stores too. Malls are dying. People don’t want to get dressed, drive to a store, maybe get mugged or shot, when they can order online from home in their jammies and have merchandise delivered, sometimes for free.
The Obama “recovery†isn’t helping either. It’s been said that this past Christmas shopping season was dismal. Expect a lot more stores to close and long established chains to go out of business.
You nailed it.
Having said that, how could they possibly be closing stores because of a slow economy? Obama said in his SOTU that the economy was in excellent shape. Why would he deceive the public about that?
Wonder how many of the stores have been looted in the past?
I just came back from a Walmart, was on vacation out if the country, bought 5 items, and they still keep on refusing to check the bag carousel to see if you picked up all that were filled, a new movie was in one bag still and i left not knowing, makes my blood boil that i have to drive 26 more miles to go and get it.
H’mmmm, remake of “Freaks(1932)” doesn’t say much about where you live and the folks there. I keep wondering where these weird Walmarts that everyone talks about; I can’t remember ever visiting one that would meet those non-attributes.
Damn, the MSM said the downturn in the economy was because of the drop in the price of oil ... 269 Walmarts obviously couldn’t stay in the business of selling oil....the oil market must be more competitive than I thought .... Target and Kohls underselling them?
Interesting you used the word Walmart. I selected a more generic word... stores.
I think it’s interesting sometimes to go to the other threads and read the comments.
Often each thread has a totally different theme. Anyway I wasn’t fussing but offering
others the opt to read other postings. Take care.
Good luck with that. The person in line behind you just got a freebie.
Been there - done that.
My Walmart is safe. Whew! Incidentally, there’s a police station nearby all the Walmarts in my area. I see police presence in the parking lot all the time esp. after dark. No stores in PA are affected. I shop there a lot.
California dodged the bullet.
Over the last 50 years, that I know about, when anything has a nationwide impact, good or bad California accounts for 10% of the total in the U.S.
Seems to be less than that in this case.
