As mentioned, Walmart Chicago is closing all locations, more than likely due to theft, like Portland. If you ask me, I’d say rip up the buildings and parking lots and put a lot of flats or bus stations or something as a replacement.

    Fun fact: NYC has no Walmarts. They tried to negotiate their way out of paying taxes, and we told them to fuck off. So they did.

      Fuck Walmart one of the worse retailers in the South. They move in an area and kill off any mom and pop shops.

      And far as the excuse of the theft they apparently are having. What happens when you replace all your cashier and make your customers do all the scan and bagging of their products.

      Since they think we should work for free (which is what you do at Walmart) then it is our right to take what we can. They should be giving us incentives for using self check out. Like discounts for doing it ourselves.

      Our bring back your workers and pay them a living wage. For me be a good day when all Walmarts must close.

      Think of all the mom and pop shops could take up the mantle. Also like one commenters idea of turning them into farmers markets. Or you could make them into shopping centers all locally owned.
