Walmart Reacting
Love these words in yesterday's press release from Wal-Mart:
Our associates have been nothing short of heroic in their commitment to serve customers, stock shelves as quickly as possible and keep their stores clean. When their communities needed them the most, our people have been at their best. Their efforts continue to be a tremendous source of pride for everyone at Walmart.
Those employed at Wal-Mart (and other retailers, too) have to deal with all sorts of crappy attitudes and mean people day-in and day-out. I can only imagine how that negativity has increased during this coronavirus deal.
The press release went on to say.......
We know our older customers could be more vulnerable to the coronavirus and to better support them, Walmart is offering special shopping hours. From March 24 through April 28, Walmart stores will host an hour-long senior shopping event every Tuesday for customers aged 60 and older. This will start one hour before the store opens. Our Pharmacies and Vision Centers will also be open during this time.

Great idea. But despite their efforts, whatcha wanna bet they're going to have to deal with belligerent non-seniors during this early hour? I surely hope not, but I have seen the ugly road that negativity (and fear) can take the human mind/spirit/attitude. Not good.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
