Work from home? Really? I don't think so. If you are a Walmart employee, you don't work from home. The job is at the store.

If you are a shopper, work from home is also a fabrication as it is not keeping you out of the store. Ordering items online from someplace other than Walmart is not a function of WFH or work from office.

Walmart closing shop is a function of the dregs of society shoplifting. Period.

I think what the article is trying to say is WFH has curtailed or slowed the person on the way home from work stopping by a store to buy something.

I know on the way home I would swing by a business or fastfood joint to grab some lunch....not now thanks to WFH.

One of the reasons for the push for office workers to be back in the office is this very reason.

The local chamber of commerce is getting pressure from realtors, restaurant owners, etc, to get people back.

There's also the lost tax revenue as businesses are realizing they don't need office space.
