They obviously do not. I live in NYC and can confirm there is not, and never has been a Walmart here. This is some fear-mongering shit right up here in this montherfucker.

There’s a not so small minority on this sub that endorse shoplifting cause it’s a “victimless” crime.

You can’t fix stupid.

Walmart announced last month that they were also going to close a bunch of other stores across various parts of the country, including stores in Florida, Illinois, Arkansas, and Wisconsin. This is a problem everywhere unfortunately.

Edit: Just part of the "retail apocalypse". Best Buy announced that they're closing stores too, and they don't cite shoplifting as a factor.

If you don’t think shoplifting was a big factor in the store closings then i guess you also doubt that the US put a man in the moon

What’s your fear? They’ll be less Trader Joe’s?

Wait till there are no trader joes or supermarkets in your neighborhood. Or if one stays open the prices will be astronomical.
