As well as other stores
TV news says Walmart has filed a complaint with police saying the store has been completely wiped out by looters.

2. Hard to drum up sympathy.

3. Companies like Walmart are enemies of the human race

I dont support lawlessness but hey, you use people and push them into poverty, on purpose, for your own enrichment, guess what happens.



FACT - a strong and healthy middle class do not loot

i found the story but no mention of walmart

5. Sorry I have no link to the story. It was an msnbc ticker news spot this morning.

May on Los Cabos, Mexico news. Says Mexican President vowed to seek out the looters.

I have no sympathy either. What an awful company.

Yes, I guess a complaint would have to be filed for insurance reimbursement.
Wonder if the ins company will pay Walmart their retail cost or just the actual cost of the missing junk.

4. Filing a complaint with the police is the first step in filing for an insurance claim. I do not feel

sorry for them.

6. they missed an opportunity

To get positive PR and help the community at the same time. Instead they could have voluntarily started to distribute goods to the people. Wallmart is so huge it would have been a insignificant cost in their bottom line.
Small business owners did just that in the past. After katrina some restaurant started feeding people for free and they were small businesses.

7. Not in the Walmart DNA.

That would take compassion.
Walton family epitomizes the 1%.
