You want to bring me back to WalMart, stock your dang shelves with ammo. You buy everything else outside of the US. Flood the damn market with cheap ammo. Makes for good target use and it will force the market back into equilibrium.
I have been in numerous wal-marts around the country and am a provider of services to the organization. I have not seen nor do I have any idea what this article is talking about. In fact, as it relates to perishables or grocery - Target has BY FAR, more out-of-stocks than other similar retailers. This looks like hype trying to create a stock price impact.
I live in small rural community and I see no problems with staffing. They are thankful to have a job I guess. I notice bare shelves sometimes but in couple days, all is well. Just seems like they have problems getting the goods. That’s what i think when i see the some bare areas.
Just was just at WalMart in Ventura, CA, shelves were full and most registers were open, wonder where this is happening.
The good news is that Wal*Borg always has ammo in stock. The bad news is that there is never anyone there who can unlock the case and actually sell it. There is DUST on the boxes in the locked cases.
If you want workers, pay higher wages or pay less welfare. Do not use this as an excuse to keep the border gates open — that is the most expensive option.
The real solution to all these problems is to take the vote away from non-taxpayers.
Walmart pays their employees more than the minimum wage and supports increases in the minimum wage. The story implied they paid minimum wage. It also called for a carbon tax. Do I detect a Liberal bias?
WalMart = The Mexican Macy’s around here. . .
Why should they take a low paying job when the regime will pay them to be layabouts? And give them a free Obamaphone to boot!
I haven’t noticed any shelves that are emptier than usual. The Walmart I frequent is next door to Liberty University, so it’s pretty much always scavenged to some degree, LOL. But this store always has about four lanes open with lines stretching into the clothing area.
Walmart is also notorious for discontinuing regular stock items. I shop just as much at Target; they’re just as inexpensive.
I use MSM as a joint supplement.
I tried to buy a new supply on Jan 23 this ydear at the Wal Mart I shop at.
Both spaces on the shelf were out-——
Tried again on Feb 27...still empty.
Talked to employee who works in that area. She said ‘product was ordered’ and was due to arrive on March 2.
I was there on March 28—yesterday, and still empty.
I went to Walgreen’s-—and they don’t even carry it at all, except blended with other joint products.
I have been having problems with simple other products I use at the same store—including 3x5 cards....NONE and not even space on the shelf.
New manager is driving employees nuts—their hands are tied.
The only bare shelves at our closest Wal-mart are at the ammo counter...
:-(
A couple of years ago, I talked with a Walmart manager about his staffing problems. His answer was too many fail the drug test
Wal Mart stores aren’t understaffed due the lack of willing labor even at Wal Mart wages. It’s because mangement rations the wage budgets that supervisors have to put workers on the schedule. It’s a standard way to manage a big box retailer or supermarket, but it’s really easy to screw up. Wal Mart is prone to it because they long ago gave up on marketing themselves as a nice place to shop. Bad customer experience is par for the course.
