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.

Staying in line with your other threads...how can we make this Disney's fault somehow?

No, this has nothing to do with Disney, that I know of.

From Yahoo news:

The second video, posted by @kavellkavon on TikTok, claims "the brokies made a threat to Walmart" that they would "go straight to Walmart for everything they need."

Sure. I believe everything from someone who refers to other people as "brokies" .

Sounds like something that some smooze would've posted on TikTok. Sad reality is that people believe crap they see on there. My DW did and bought a diet pill there. Made her stick, and she went to the doc. Doc told her to quit buying crap on TikTok because it's not USDA approved.
