I...have no sympathy.
- neodymiumphish 4y agoNo sympathy for whom? This is going to negatively impact the purchasing power of a lot of low/middle class shoppers.
- bestcoder69 4y agoThey still have Walmart.com
- andrewmunsell 4y agoYou obviously can't ship regular groceries through traditional carriers, and grocery delivery relies on local stores being able to fulfill. Even if they kept the stores open as a form of a delivery and pickup hub, it's still disadvantages low income individuals or families that do not use technology heavily enough to be able to use the app, or the delivery fees/tip structure could make the cost prohibitive for low income folks.
- bestcoder69 4y agoWell shit. Wal-mart oughtta open up their stores again and quit letting thieves take all the dang groceries this time, if you ask me.

- rubyn00bie 4y agoUnlikely. Winco is by far the cheapest grocery store chain in the area, and no Walmart is far from a Winco. In other areas, this would absolutely be true but in Portland the impact is likely to negligible if at all. I’d honestly assume, like the others have said poor performance is the reason for closing not theft.
- htag 4y agoMost populated areas have cheaper grocery stores than Walmart. Walmart is usually only the cheapest option in rural communities.
- benatkin 4y agoAgreed. Boo frigging hoo. Wal-Mart didn't design itself to fit into major cities or local economies but to change them in a way that serves their purposes.
