Why Is WalMart Mysteriously Shuttering Stores Nationwide For "Plumbing Issues"?
Earlier this year, WalMart became one of several corporate heavyweights to lift wages for its meagerly compensated workers, around 500,000 of which are now set to receive at least $9/hour and $10/hour by Q1 2016 (that of course assumes they make it on $9 an hour for another 12 months and don’t seek out other employment by sheer necessity).
Meanwhile, as we noted earlier this month, the move by the country’s largest retailer to pay a few extra pennies to its (basically) minimum wage employees comes at a cost to the company’s suppliers because when you operate on the thinnest of margins in order to be the “low price leader,” someone has to pay for those wage hikes and you can’t pass along the costs to customers because many of your low-income patrons are operating from the same tax bracket as your low-paid employees. As such, the poor companies along the supply chain are forced to lower their prices and of course they’re going to comply because well, you’re WalMart meaning you’re your vendors’ biggest account pretty much by default. The outcome is that “while WMT (or MCD or GAP or Target) boosts the living standards of its employees by the smallest of fractions, it cripples the cost and wage structure of the entire ecosystem of vendors that feed into it, and what takes place is a veritable avalanche effect where a few cent increase for the lowest paid megacorp employees results in a tidal wave of layoffs for said megacorp's vendors.”
If that doesn’t turn out to be enough in the face of an economy which isn’t really recovering and in which low-income shoppers are constrained by lackluster (and by that we mean nonexistent) wage growth, some sacrifices may have to be made. The problem is that laying people off and shuttering stores two months after a celebrated wage hike initiative doesn’t inspire much confidence and could turn into a PR issue, but one thing you could do is get creative, and while we’re not plumbers, we do find it curious that five geographically distinct WalMart stores have been closed in the past week for “ongoing plumbing issues that will require extensive repairs.”
Here’s more from a local CBS affiliate:
10 News called the county. Officials say they have no record of any code or permit violation at the Brandon location.
And when 10 News was at the Walmart Tuesday, there were no marked septic trucks or plumbing vehicles in the lot.
"Where is everybody if they're supposed to be working on everything where are all the trucks?" asked shopper Melissa Dupuis.
10 News asked a Walmart spokesperson whether the five stores were built from the same design, whether they had the same contractor, anything to understand why all of them closed on the same day for "plumbing issues."
The only thing they have in common, the spokesperson said are the highest number of plumbing incidents.
Leaving some customers to wonder "how many things have they not said. That's scary," said shopper Norma Espinosa.
And here’s more from a local ABC report in Florida:
BRANDON, Fla. - Employees of a Walmart in Brandon that abruptly closed Monday were among more than 2,000 employees nationwide who learned almost simultaneously they were being laid off.
In a nearly identical manner at every store, Walmart corporate officials visited the five locations, called an impromptu meeting in the back of the store and told employees that the stores would be closing that evening.
Besides Brandon, the affected locations were in Pico Rivera, Calif., Livingston, Texas, Midland, Texas, Tulsa, Okla.
“The issues mostly relate to clogs and water leaks in the plumbing - we’ve had persistent issues over the last several years,“ said a Walmart spokesperson said.
“These incidents impact the availability of water and create drainage issues for critical areas of the store which impacts our ability to serve customers,” she said.
“Normally, we do our best to avoid disrupting a store’s operations. However, given this particular store had one of the highest incidences of plumbing issues in the entire fleet and in order to reduce the costs associated with these incidents, we felt it was in the store’s best interest to invest in making the necessary improvements to resolve these issues,” the spokesperson said.
The I-Team has learned that none of the five affected stores have sought any plumbing permits for future repairs.
“We’re in a holding pattern. We’re anxious to learn exactly what they’re planning,” said Pico Rivera City Manager James Enriquez, when we contacted him about the store’s closing Tuesday.
Enriquez says when Walmart notified the city Monday that it was closing the store, he offered his full support in trying to get it back open.
“My building official walked out there and didn’t see any work being done,” he said.
So there you have it, “clogs and water leaks” but no plumbing permits and 2,000 affected employees, many of whom were presumably just given the news that they would be getting a raise only to discover that they will get 60 days of pay before they’ll need to find a job at another WalMart location (hopefully one with no plumbing issues) or find other employment. We’ll leave it to readers to discern if these “clogs and leaks” are real or whether the company is just quietly shutting down stores across the country.

Some truly great comments have been made to which I can only add that skinny margins, skinny wages, skinny employment and fat bonuses are not going to be America's way out of the woods.
Over investment produces malinvestment which in turn requires painful write-offs and adjustments from the top down.
I am afraid this is the beginning of another painful period in America.
The only question is, on what excuse will Walmart executives close the next round of stores? Because the fact remains that more stores will close.
The next round of closures could be due to "electrical" issues.
When that excuse is done they can always pull the "radon gas" scam.
How about "chemtrails"
Out of clogs and leeks, time to shut the doors.
This shit has nothing to do with "plumbing" or min. wages. Its much bigger, folks gonna have to connect the dots on their own and think critically.!
I would stock up and hunker down under the radar.
I'm sorry, we've had a bumper crop of chemtrails here in the Smoky Mountains, so can you connect the dots for me?

ZH should be required reading in high school and college. Oh wait! LOL!
Wal-Mart has the same marketing strategy that failed Farmer Jack's and other has been retailers have followed. Popular products are sold out and Wal-Mart hopes you will buy the higher profit products that sit on the shelf. We mark the calander dates that Wal-Mart restocks and but enough to last a month. Empty shelves again the next day. Looks like a good short candidate.
I know what it is....these stores have been sabotaged by SEUI workers...yes, they are causing repeated toilet overflows.

Simple solution for Walmart's plugged up plumbing issues . . . stop all of the (WhaleMart) shoppers from dropping huge loaves in the restrooms.
Maybe if WMT would stop stocking the toilets with TP, it would take care of the customers and employees abusing toilet breaks.
Are they shuttering stores where they do not benefit from TIF's?
They're switching the feed from water to Zyklon B
That stuff won't disinfect what their average shopper is carrying around with them.

Nothing that I saw looked too much different from anywhere else? I didn't see any whites so from that aspect it seems like a nicer part of Mexico?
I boycotted the Walton's for selling their souls to Wall ST. and the Chinese along time ago.. Haven't stepped foot into a Walmart since like 2004?
I don't know of a single large retailer who doesn't rely mostly on chinese vendors. Having said that, we are pushing hard to give our retail business to other than the Oligarchs. It ain't easy.
right, most retailers do use china
I try to buy stuff from germany, france , Italy and Uk
and support local business ppl here that make things...
I think the underlying theme here is that they know the gov't cheese EBT is coming to an end and they are preparing for it ahead of time.
Everyone is tapped out. Those who have cash are hoarding it because they know the employment grim reaper is coming to tap them on the shoulder.
It would be interesting to know if anyone has seen Walmart trucks taking stock from these stores - empyting them out. I think it's due to lagging sales plus extremely high pilferage and this is Walmarts way of down playing the closing of some of their stores. These stores won't be reopened.

I can remember years ago the Walmart in Homer, Louisiana had to shut down because the employees were stealing so much it couldn't make money.
If I had 5 hours notice before I got shitcanned from a job, I'd be filling my car trunk with my severence package.
Something I wished I'd done at a job I had where some of us were lied to and dumped.
I think that's the only cost-cutting option left for many stores.
The North-Central Florida Wal-Mart store in Lake City, has over the past 3-4 years seen these sequence of events:
• All greeter positions were gradually eliminated;
• All employees who used to log-in retrain items at the Entrance doors were eliminated. Now one goes directly to Customer Service to return or exchange merchandise, where at times clerks subtly make accusations of theft;
• the above (2) concurrent with drastic reduction in employees working throughout the store especially in the evenings;
• iI have waited 10-15 minutes for a manager during the late-evenings, after 9:00 PM to say, open locked merchandise display:
• chronically partially or completely out of stock on a wide range of items;
• though out of stock on regular items, the aisles filled so full of display boxes, for special sales on junk items (e.g., Goose Oligarchy t-shirts), shopping carts cannot go through aisles;
• display shelves of limited quantity stocks of popular items at steep discounts at times seem to go 1-2 weeks before limited re-stocking;
• many shelves are emptied within hours after nightly restocking (after work and in evenings extent of sold-out products are very noticeable;
• drastic cutbacks in numbers of checkout lines open;
• poorly designed automatic checkouts, not suitable for more than ~dozen items and constantly requiring intervention of 1 checker tending 8 automatic checkouts, must be used after 10:00 PM;
Yeah, so there you have it. Common sense would indicate that when shipments of goods to restock the shelves falls below some minimum level it makes more sense to shutter the entire store to deal with "plumbing problems".
I'm surprised that the Lake City store is still open.

You went to Wal-Mart enough times to be able to document all that and to have that many interactions with the store and it's employees? I think I've identified part of the problem.
I value your contribution here, but dood, ya gotta do your part to starve the beast.
.."waiting for the manager for locked display case..."
Sounds like our ZH friend may only go in there to buy ammo.
razors, $30 per cartridge.
I agree with most of your observations.
Bear Stearns, Lehman Bros., AIG, Fannie, Freddie, Sallie, Burger King, Tim Hortons, McDonalds Corp., Future Shop, Target, Zellers, Walmart, et cetera. Seems to me that this is financial restructuring under the guise of maintanence so that the insurance company gets to kick in on the lost revenue top up due to lost productivity problems associated with 'plumbing', eh.
NOTE: I predicted that the Walmart BIG box Ponzi would implode six months ago when Burger Serf purchased Hortons to cook their collective balance sheets. If Burger Serf had not amalgamated with Hortons they would have had to file for Chapter 11 last year.
How close are these locations to other Wal-Marts. There are 2 in my neighboring towns and another will be finished in my own town probably in the next six months, this being on the border and perhaps 3 miles from an already existing Wal-Mart.
How much has been built over the years such that WMT is canabalizing sales from itself? Would be interesting to know how close the nearest store is to these locations being closed.
Where I live Wal-Mart builds where they get the best TIF. The TIF usually sunsets after 10-15 years, then the store moves to the next municipality where they have procured another TIF. It is all about tax avoidance.
Hillary Clinton who passed TARP and was in favor of QE (that kills the purchasing power of wage earners) was also at one time on the Board of Directors of Walmart.
The CEO's make WAY too much (esp compared to their workers- the Board of Directors decide that).
The Wal-Mart parasite has proven inimical to the host. Americans now have a duty to shop elsewhere.
Victim of the shitty economy, these are the marginal or failing stores. Empires are like cakes most easily diminished at its edges, failing economy, failing business model, failing store.
Eventually I think that this will eventually turn into a panic by summer as whole sectors of jobs continue to disappear. That panic will also be the cause of the next crash.
In thinking about all of the craziness that is going on that everyone is freaking out about Iran, Cuba Etc. I think that this doesn't have anything to do with legacy building or wanting peace etc. It is the demand of the oligarchs that pull the strings to open new markets in order to forestall the enevitble crash just like illegal immigration certainly about creating a permanent underclass but also about creating consumers. Literally pulling out all of the stops. Just my opinion.
"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche."
Forget about "Conspiracy Theory" the reason is that US economy is heading straight down to the abyss. There is no money to buy cheap stuff anymore.
Occam's Razor, methinks.............
WMT is a super-savvy retailer, and prolly knows the market better than anyone posting here.
I don't see any crazy-ass Jade Helm plotline here - I see a retailer who KNOWS the economy ain't getting better, and is positioning itself for an honest-to-goodness economic downturn, using the "plumbing bit" to it's advantage in closing stores.
Hmmm.
Maybe WalMart is discovering that putting Mega-stores within a mile or two of each other was not the most efficient use of capital for long term success.
One of our McD's burned down today. It was a newer store but too close to another McD's.
@robertocarlos
That's otherwise known as a "Stock Take"
Ooh new black site prisons!
It would be interesting to view a list of stores with the highest shoplifting percentages nationwide.
Or did we just do that?
Plumbing issues aren't that far fetched when you consider the girth of the average Malwart customer.
I assume that "plumbing issues" is a euphemism for the economy's down the toilet.
Its a shitrope Julian.
Plant shit seeds, get shit weeds
A rolling Walmart blackout, also referred to as rotational crap shedding or shit rotation, is an intentionally engineered shutdown where crap delivery is stopped for non-overlapping periods of time over different parts of the distribution region. Rolling blackouts are a last-resort measure.
Never cry shitwolf!
J.L.
This old Shitfisher took his bagpipes down to the river and he played his pipes in hopes that the shitfish would rise up out of the water. But not one shitfish rose, Julian. So he took a shitnet and threw it in the river and, lo, soon he drew it forth filled with shitfish. Then he took his bagpipes and then he played them again and all the shitfish jumped up in the shitnet. 'Oh, you dance now when I play, said the Shitfisher. And then the little old shitfish spoke up in the end and he said, when your in a man's power, you must do as he bids you. Shitnets, Julian, and Shitpower.
The shit winds are coming.
Aye
Chinaman will eat shitwich (shit sandwich) if sailor pay five dollar !
I would be interested in seeing the demographic makeup of the municipalities where these stores are closing.
Look up Valrico and contrast it with neighboring Brandon.
Due to my profession, I am close those this. I know from a trusted primary source, that most of these are severe structural issues discovered during renovations. Condemnable issues.
I know of a vertical mall in Kendall that needed massive girders belatedly added to the stores' facades to meet windstorm code.
Having seen the Valrico store, it was entirely unremarkable. A generic big box with a steel roof in a snowless region is hard to fuck up. And it has stood for more than a decade. This just doesn't add up, especially when Wal Mart has very recently added Avila and Wesley Chapel locations ... which are well-separated from suitcase city and New Tampa respectively.
you mean like closing a building by court order?
or by frowning upon and shunning wall mart?
Full of shit!
Maybe that's really the probem?
Of course, the bad plumbing ruse.
"WallyWorld shuts ten stores due to electrical issues."
"Five Wal-Marts to Close due to Parking Problems."
"Defective Pallet Jacks cause 10 Wal-Marts to Close."

head to one of the 5-6 just closed Wall-Marts shown above-tell them youre a "plumber" youll make way better money!
You don't need a permit to service existing plumbing, at least not in the free world.

They have been planting cells all over the country blending in like the jade helm farkers are and all paid for by American tax dollars It is now being reported that supposedly isis has a training base over the border from New Mexico and Texas and for some time has been training the the revil isis ebel army there to come to the usa andl start the fighting and crazy stuff to instigate martial law. Then, the murderous puppet babylonians will go crazy on the innocent peoples, and then as planed, the people will go crazy.
Here comes the UN forces as planed by kissassenger and co. Farking evil things. It is horrible to see the once proud nation robbed and stripped and then taxed to the max to pay for the very weapons, ammunition, and training that will be aimed right back at them after the planned crash of the dollar. Holy Lord people, you have been repeatedly told what the harking hell is going on for years and yet as a panzi arsed stupefied and ignorant nation, you still sit there on your arse and do nothing to stop this ziosatainnc insanity that will eventually kill every living soul on the planet.

You train where you are going to fight.
I swear to god some of you conspiracy nut jobs actually get dissappointed when the sky doesnt fall.
This could be the U.S military using stores as training camps for a urban assault Fema Camp massacre using chem-trails, haarp and whatever other crap you preppers believe in.
Or
Maybe Walmart are just fucked and closing some stores that are burning through cash due to the inter-web thingy and death of the middle class.
BTW Pretty sure they would need a few more Wal-Marts than 5 to run your Fema Camps, and if they are using them for training maybe, just maybe they could have built replica stores and attracted a lot less attention!
Dude shut off the internet, ban yourself from You-tube and go get fucking laid or smoke a cigarrette.

Now that there funny!!
Perhaps these are the stores where Bentonville spends the most on clogged plumbing. But headcount is down by 2,000. Employees and suppliers and local govetnments are terrorized. Who would buck a boss who might just make a snap decision to shutter the store?

Breaking: Walmart Mysteriously Shutters 5 Stores For 6 Months For “Plumbing Problems”. Jade Helm?
April 14th, 2015 | Tags: JADE HELM, Walmart | Category: Uncategorized
Sorry boys, I love Wal-Mart. They save the average family $3000 per year. When is the last time the government did that for you? Maybe the government should stop deficit spending and lower the rate of real inflation (5-8%) so that a $10 FRN actually buys something instead of blaming private wages for public servant caused disasters.
gwar, saved 3000 bucks shopping at wallmart..you sell out too cheap.
That's an extra $3000 per year for everybody -- multiply that by 100 million families in the USA and that's $300 Billion per year. That's a lot for families and for the economy. That's an extra $250 per month for food and rent, every single month.
The public servants, aka politicians, are the ones who sold you out. That's what they're paid to do. Don't point fingers anywhere else. They spend money they don't have by diluting the value of existing wages and that's why your wages do not go far enough.
Mandating minimum wages is flawed thinking and it has been shown many many times that it does not work. If it did, $100K salaries for everybody would have been declared long ago.
Just wanted to let you know that I support your comments 100%. Many big businesses are in bed with government, but people tend to forget that "big" is not automatically "evil". In fact, without large scale enterprises the economies of scale that have raised living standards since the Industrial Revolution wouldn't be possible. That said, one must still stand fast against corporatism (crony socialism, often wrongly dubbed crony "capitalism").
"They save the average family $3000 per year."
...unless the bread winner is a Wal-Mart employee, in which case the gov't subsidizes ($3000 worth?) a living wage.
Shop smart - Shop S-Mart YOU GOT THAT?
Let's logically pick apart Wal-Mart's claim that plumbing clogs justify closing some stores for six months. With stores as profitable as theirs, almost any expense would be justified to keep them open. NASA-grade toilets could be retrofitted without closing down. Ergo the closings have a sub-rosa rationale. Ergo Wal-Mart is again displaying poor corporate citizenship and, well lying.
I spent a few bucks in Wal-Mart in March because the raise they announced in February gave me hope. They're back in time out for me.

walmart gave 73,000 texas wallyworld workers 2 bucks an hour pay raise..........somebody has to pay for it. Its not like walmart has a central bank to print pay raises...........lol
I like their creativity. I wouldn't be surprised to see the big banks using a similar excuses when the next financial crisis hits. You know, something like " Bank of America to temporarily close all branches due to a nation wide rodent infestation. Bank officials said that customers will not. be able to make withdrawals for several weeks, however deposits will still be accepted."
Just in, folks are reporting that the parking lots a filling with shipping containers and also other big box stores. Petsmart, targets,..
It is this kind of ridiculous blogging, en mass, that makes this site so inane. I live right near this Wal Mart. My son works, or should I say worked part time there while going to USF.
The toilets have NEVER worked right, always backed up, and they often had to have portables in the lot. None of the sinks ever drained correctly, and in food prep areas it was a nightmare.
Whoever Wal Mart contracted with to design and build these places, well I don't know.
It appears to me the entire foundation under the building will have to be excavated. I wouldnt be surprised if the next announcement is tear it down and start over.
This is endemic in new construction these days, shoddy work done by people who don't care.
And trurst me, I am sure it is not the only problem in this building, from the commerical refridgeration right on up to the roof, you can't get a company to do anything right.
Oh, and by the way, short the market. Buffoons.
Livingston, Midland and Tulsa closing! Out of work oil workers have no meney to buy anything, including cheap junk from China.
First signs of the coming deflationary depression?
Just in time for 'Jade Helm'?
Shitter's full!
At least one of these stores had a Black Friday protest for higher wages: http://www.businessinsider.com/wal-mart-suddenly-closes-stores-2015-4
Not a coincidence.
