Walmart shutting down?

[SL6827]

Is Walmart shutting down this weekend in response to threats of riots?

Sounds like a wacky rumor.
I'd doubt they are skipping first of the month sales.

I haven't heard that, but I also don't shop at Walmart.

This is not true.

Just more media hype.

The fact that no single news source could find this should have been your clue. All I could find is random people making random claims or random FB posts making random claims.

Was any research done into this before posting a thread?

And like many weirdo FB posts, it was probably started by Russian bot farms.

I’m sure Walmart would gladly take riots over losing weekend sales revenue.

What threats of riots????

Before posting things like this, it's wise to double/triple check sources. If it's NOT being reported on any of the MAJOR news sites, then it's best not to post it.

Rumored riots are a little ridiculous, considering how many Walmart employees actually are getting snap benefits

Social Media hype.
