Since when do you shut down stores for 6 months for plumbing problems. Evidently, no prior notice was given to employees.

Posted the other night. Yes, a systematic engineering defect is unusual, and that many replications more so, but not unprecedented. Some employees do confirm chronic plumbing problems.

six months? not a chance in the world.

there would be no walmart chain left after paying plumbers for working six months straight on one store!

this one will require some serious followup

The boycott against Walmart for opposing religious freedom for Christians is taking hold.

Before I even looked....I figured it would be this Walmart in Tulsa.....Not a good part of Tulsa...There's another one in South Tulsa..that was in the running...in my mind.

Which leads me to think...something else is going on. Would be interesting to know..what type of area's the others that are closing are in.....

http://www.ktul.com/story/28803334/walmart-closing-comes-as-surprise-to-customers-employees

The Walmart on Admiral and Memorial Drive closed for repairs Monday night. Tuesday afternoon, customers were still trying to get in.

The message about the repairs may not have made it to all the customers, but for employees like Dane Humphreys, it was loud and clear.

"There are a lot of things that don't seem right to me," said Humphreys.

Erica Jones with Walmart said the store was closed because of ongoing water leaks within the store. Jones said they don't know the exact cause of the leaks, but they want to make sure they get them fixed right.

"So when they do some very extensive repairs, they make sure we don't have to come back to this," said Jones.

Walmart closed a total of five stores Nationwide on the same day, Including stores in Texas.

Employees were at the store Tuesday cleaning and preparing for the repairs. Jones said the perishable food left over after the close will be donated to a local food bank.

No word on exactly how long the store will be closed, but Jones said it could be six months or so.

Jones said she wasn't sure when the decision was made to close the store, but Walmart officials notified employees of the closing around 1 p.m. Monday.The store closed at 7 that same night.

Humphreys said he wishes the store would have given employees a bit more notice.

"I came in for my shift yesterday around 2, and was told the store is closing," sad Humphreys.

Jones said employees will be paid for the next 60 days with the option to transfer to another store.

"At the end of the sixty days, if they still don't have a position, they will be given a severance package based on how long they were with the company," said Jones.

Humphreys said there are many employees at the store who don't have good transportation, so getting to another store will be difficult.

Walmart will hold job fairs for the employees, along with resume writing assistance.

Jones said when the store does reopen, all employees will have to reapply.

Did they “dog food” these building and now they’re learning why people who can afford to not shop there don’t?

Something stinks. You can build a Walmart in less that six months. What do they have, four toilets and a couple sinks?

I’ve read this is somehow related to jade Helm. It’s all about a conspiracy but it makes sense . There are a lot of questions and no answers.

The Homosexual supporting store chain seems to have a waste blockage? How metaphorical.

Seems to me that Wal Mart would rent out a few port-o-potties before they’d close down stores.

Weird. How did they come up with six months? Even if they redid the entire sprinkler system I don’t see it taking that long. Seems to me also that there would be separate tie-ins to the sewer system with restrooms front and back, but I might be wrong. Still don’t see what would constitute 6 months or how they came to that number. Most stores would be built from the same ‘prototype’ set of drawings and adapted accordingly to each location.

They shut down two in Montgomery County, Texas, this week. Said they probably won’t be opened until September or October.

Don’t know what it is, but it is going to cost Wal-Mart and their employees!

Maybe Wal-Mart is tired of the crap and is using this to show the American economy that they are much more important than all the left-wing nutjobs claim! I D K, just another theory!

Sounds fishy. Wonder if Wally World was just trying to temporarily cut operating expenses by closing unproductive stores and encouraging unproductive employees to move on. They’ll remodel and reopen with a new, cheaper workforce.
