walmart was already getting rid of the 24/7 hours before covid. the pandemic didn't have anything to do with the decision. may have sped-up the roll-out some, but they were doing it regardless.

Ah thanks Sam Walton! Lol companies make test changes all the time and renege all the time too. Didn't blockbuster close all locations but 1 fuckin store or was that a family guy episode. The place was packed 24/7 from being the only store for 3 towns around and a bunch of manufacturing plants running 3 shifts. Their subway and deli were 24/7 how many other walmarts had that lol but I'll take your word for it😂
