HALF of Chicago's Walmart Stores Just Closed (Here's Why) 

These cities are full of liberal dogeaters who will self immolate and leave behind nothing but desolation. These liberal/ democrat rats who have these extreme ideas have earned what they will reap. Just watch as they self consume. Everyone so full of themselves. Get 1000 dollars and dump it on the highway and watch as people scramble for it. Yet in the time that highway is backed up how much money is lost. They will self consume and self immolate. This is what they voted for over all these decades. Let them have it

Bro wait till the rest of these big chains start closing down there mega stores. Online shopping has killed in person shopping.This is happening all over America not just Chicago as you woulld mislead viewers to believe

its just beetle juice 3.0 no change the problem has not been fixed in chicago

@@Cycling_Arizona 😂

Walmart sucks anyways. Store closings is good for the consumer. It will redirect walmart customers to walmart's competition which will force walmart to lower prices to ethical level

Your exactly right...if you vote for garbage you get garbage...

​@jimtabor8335 To be fair, not everyone is either not voting at all or chooses not to vote for people who do a pathetic job at doing their job

Even if there were Republicans in office you can't control feces throwing zoo animals

All . . . repeat, ALL . . . stores should leave Chicago.

@@jimtabor8335 you missed one step if you are garbage you vote for garbage and you get garbage

@@DingDong2-iy7vb There are other neighbourhoods that voted Biden and are still intact. It’s a culture problem.

Blame community leaders

so Chicago is not even in the top 15 of dangerous cities, we pay for at least 2 red states. Stop listening to your cult leader, they are closing all over the country for capitalisms reasons not crime which is lower then a decade ago. One of the four stores is in a white upper-class area so again it is not about crime but about dollars as more and more of their business is on-line orders

And your from where?

​@way2chi367 why does that matter? He is right.

And if store owner fire their flashlight security guards and hire guards like the ones at the gas stations carrying AR15's, folks be trying to call that RACIST. Stores have a RIGHT to protect their investments. Yet, you get the, "...well, that's why they have insurance for theft...". NO! NO! NO! That's like saying since I have car insurance, I can just randomly run people over in my car because I feel like it! "I got car insurance...not a problem...run him over."

Fox Entertainment News: Robber Baron corporation that pays people slave labor wages and no benefits is closing down multiple stores. Taxpayers: 🥳🎉

South side baby! 😂😂😂

And currently there's groups of hundreds of "teens" running around downtown Chicago rioting ..they'll definitely start looting a Walmart if they see one

Can't blame them!

Couldn't have said it BETTER MYSELF and I WORK IN RETAIL.

Another issue is that they're too easy on criminals. So they keep coming back. We weren't allowed to put our hands on shoplifters anymore. This guy went from store to store in our chain and robbed us blind. The company doesn't want lawsuits because the court system favors criminals. He doesn't stop. He wears a mask to hide his identity. He will never get caught because the police can't respond in time he's too fast and we are not allowed to touch him. The cops would have to coincidentally be there at the time. Even then, the cops are told to back down as well. So in certain scenarios they're completely useless.

Quantitative tightening

Portland Oregon also

Now to give store on all the other stores than Walmart that have closed amazing if you know

Seriously underrated comment.

Lol walmart is trash; it should leave everywhere. Now stop acting like you're talking about Chicago, when we know who you're talking about. Have some balls.

All the Walmarts in my city on the west coast closed too lol Wal Mart as a whole is going out of business. They have closed a ton of stores across all states.

How about overcharging them taxes? That costs more money than the shoplifting!!!

The greatest source of "loss" (theft) is from employees. That is true of most stores.

Agreed its crazy how social media Is Praising stealing in stores.

Not to mention how all the looting is making it more expensive for everyone who shops at Walmarts everywhere. Big companies aren't going to just est this loss they will pass it on to the consumers

​@@MarchPlaymate lmao do yall ever wonder why they steal? Like you can't honestly ignore high cost of living, static wages and terrible social securities. Stealing is bad ok, duh. But you people literally are bootlicking corporations just so you can one up and generalize a whole group of people. Yeah, let's just abandoned them, THAT WILL SHOW THEM! That will stop them from stealing! People are actually regarded now.

Well, blame Defund The Police.

@@bigbeauf_____3167actually the police have received more funding under Biden. Soooo 🤷‍♂️ That means police are lazy and it isn’t because of the pay

I've said screw Walmart ever since they bought a large parcel of property with older commercial and light industrial property and put over 350 small companies out of business all at once, then farted around for a couple of years trying to get their act together, all the while the City and State didn't receive the higher property taxes for the developed property and lost money on the businesses displaced who weren't paying THEIR taxes. Wal mart paid only the low undeveloped property rate. Only about 15% of the displaced companies reopened in another location. I have never spent any of my money in a Walmart.

But those are the same companies that first cuddle BLM and other “Peaceful” protestors.

Lol, they write off more theft on their taxes than the real theft that happens... Grow up.

ATTACK OF THE JOBLESS BISCUIT LlPPED BLUE GUM CHITCONGO FOODSTAMP MOON KEYS!!

Actually they do lose money, when warehouses over send stock especially the fresh items, produce, meat, etc, it expires before it can be sold resulting in thousands of dollars in "claims". I worked at a Walmart in Canada before, the meat department followed by produce had the highest amount of losses every year, almost $100K a year. Tens of thousands a year in theft of electronics, health and beauty, etc as well. And the Walmart I was at was considered a top performer. Walmart needs better quantity control, they have quite the silly way of sending stock, they send stock based on the previous years sales, for example, say steaks were on sale a certain time last year and the same sale happens again this year, they'll send the amount of steaks that sold last year at the same time plus like an additional 50%, expecting the store to sell the same quantity as last year plus another 50%. it's that way throughout the store. It's a screwed up system that costs them money and wastes a lot of product.

You can't make a profit off theft. Chicago will just have to shop at the gas station.

Just say it…we all know why. Belgians.

@@tsak912 LOL .......yeah all them Belgians going around ruining Cities ////////

It's because of all the naggers that are always complaining.

​@@olplainface1299 *i

Let's not forget the employees that think they are entitled to "living" wages and benefits, stores have to raise prices to compensate for pay and benefits, that is the majority of a companies costs, but of course no one wants to talk about that.

@@admtahoe Employee theft was historically about a third of total shrink in stores prior to the current insanity. I had two mechanics in my Target Store 40 years ago who admitted to stealing $150K over a 3 year period before they were caught.

So does getting a job and/or not abandoning your kids. Are there systemic obstacles that contributed to this, yes. But, there’s also personal responsibility.

no but he said the mob violenc the other day was the stores fault, cause they charge taxes on the poor ,.

According to basketball Americans, it's called, "reparations."

Walmart tried . They gave them a chance by locking up the products that got stolen the most and we’re called racist for it , so they might as well just shut the store and give them the middle finger and say “make your own shit, we out”!

They are not being robbed if you know anything about capitalism high taxes ensures closure and also the wealth of the surrounding community matters and also completion matters

Then the Democrat politicians defend these vandals and thieves. They pass laws to lessen bail requirements and soften penalties. They refuse to fully prosecute offenders (unless they're conservatives) and give them early parole. Then the stand there with this confused, idiotic expression on their faces like they've got no idea what the problem is. Truly disgusting.

I was thinking the same thing it’s all about thieves and nothing more !

They would team up and become gangs

and probably create a shortage in supply in secondary market. If they don't figure out a innovative way to reduce production cost, buyers will eventually drop out and buy straight from the store instead. Very problematic for the hard-working criminals just try to earn a living. Some of them may have to face the alternative of seeking legitimate employment. We as a society need to do better! We're all in this together!

And the politicians who let it happen

It starts at home. Teach your kids to be good citizens. If everyone did this there would not be a problem. Don't steal, cheat or be mean to people. Don't rely on government for anything; make your own way. Something earned has far more meaning to you than something given to you (or stolen!).

For that to happen, you would have to build at least 10 more prisons to house a 100,000 people each, in each state if the laws in this country are fully enforced.

That might happen, when they finally work their way up to the politician's gated communities.
