Walmart Is Eliminating The 24-Hour Service!


The "Great American Comeback" folks.

About 1,000 Walmart stores in the United States and Canada have eliminated the 24-hour service. It comes at a time where you're working an evening shift and happened to get off at midnight. You want to go shopping at night to beat the lines during the day. Some folks work 12 hour shifts so it's nearly impossible for some to go to grocery stores during the afternoon or evening.

When you head to your local Walmart and found it closed at midnight or 1am. You, like, "I was just there only a week ago!" They tell you, "these are the new rules. You can visit the other store miles away."

The world's largest retailer said the company will start closing stores during the overnight hours in 2020. They started the gradual shutdowns in 2019 at least 100 stores. This will likely continue throughout the year and some areas will be affected.

Walmart claims that the change will assure associates are working when and where customers need them the most. They believe that customers shop between 9am to 9pm. So that means, folks are in bed.

But what about the folks who get off work at late hours?

Or the folks who like to shop when the lines aren't long and the customer with a dispute ain't holding the line up arguing over a price?

Where will they go?

Stores in the Dayton area include: Englewood, Moraine/Kettering, Dayton (Miami Township) and Dayton (Butler Township).

Stores in the Cincinnati area include: Milford, Cincinnati (Delhi Township), Cincinnati (Colerain Township), Forest Park, Evendale, Hamilton/Fairfield, Hamilton, Middletown, Oxford, Lebanon and Fort Wright, Kentucky.

It could be an unofficial layoff of employees. Great timing for the jobs report that comes out today.

Walmart, Kroger and other businesses are cutting back late hours due to low traffic and changing demographics.

Some believe the abrupt closing of Walmart and Kroger locations in minority areas is akin towards segregation and racism.

Many trolls believe that theft is the reasons why companies go out of business. Many trolls believe that folks who steal or use food stamps are driving prices of food and necessities up. Many trolls believe that raising the minimum wage is going to hurt corporations and small businesses.

Of course, the trolls don't work at Walmart or Kroger. They shop there and offer constant grievances towards employees, security and other shoppers because they perceive them as below their standards of human beings.

Walmart is quietly saying that online shopping and Amazon is hurting them as well. You remember that Walmart had a big bloodshed of their Superstores, Sam's Clubs and Walmart Neighborhood Store locations.

Once a Walmart leaves an area, you'll see a lot of businesses close around it. The locations are soon replaced with charter schools, UHauls, flea markets and often become a graffiti paradise.
