“Walmart is domed to bankruptcy...”
They are the perfect facility for shopping in this atmosphere. They contain a huge inventory of things while their competitors are forced to be closed. But because they contain food, they will be selling other items that can be carried home in the back of that pickup and there is no problem if they buy a loaf of bread.
So any food containing selling facility that also has paint, toys, furniture, televisions, anything else, will get their applied sales. People are trapped in a house they never thought they were going to hermit into. They are starved for entertainment, so anything from board games and playing cards, to wide screen tv’s and paint will be purchased during the food run. And the state can’t do a thing about it. Most Costcoes, Fred Meyers, Walmarts, and Sam’s Clubs will see a controlled increase in profit just because they have food in their stores and no employees as they don’t need all of them and they are on an hourly scale, so they can be laid off or just not scheduled.
Additionally, they will be cutting the amount of associates on the floor so they will not need so much HR. They will bring in a minimum night shift to stock, and only put out fires during the day.
They won’t be hurt as they will cut their costs down to balance out their profit margin. Especially when they will pay their employees the lowest minimum wage of any state they are in, in the US.

They will be hurt immensely guaranteed. Just wait until they release earnings. There sales are going to fall dramatically as people are not going to stand in line waiting to get into wall mart in numbers enough to support stores of their size. They have already lost huge ground to Amazon and this is only going to greatly further the damage.
