Walmart abruptly announces closure of 4 (more) Chicago Area stores

Chevy vs Ford I guess.

Wonder if that has anything to do with the outcome of the recent mayoral elections ?

Is that even a thing anymore? As far as sports cars go, in the past I preferred Chevy. But not now.

Over time I won’t be at all surprised if most big inner cities become like third-world countries.

It exists. You place your order through an app. They fill it and bring it out to your car.

Ooops. My age is showing.

That’s actually a great idea for food deserts. They would have to supply the stores with robots and automated trucks to save truckers from getting murdered. Maybe in a few years.

What they need there are robot security guards.

Anytime a store has a 25% profit margin
when one item is stolen they have to sell 3 more just to break even.

With robotics and AI being at the level that it is today , this can’t be too far in the future.

This is actually a real big deal if these communities keep losing large chains like Walmart and major drugstores more businesses will likely follow then people in that community can’t get basic goods and medical services, then what?

In some markets , Walmarts are using drones to deliver items and I know in Arkansas they have several stores that strictly for pickup, no in store shopping.

Why should the robots be any different?

Apparently the neighbors now want Walmart.

LOL, who are these people to demand a private company stay open ? They are free to open their own store.
