Walmart Mass Shooting Could Affect Retailers And Consumer Confidence
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 ноя 2022
- The company known as the world’s largest retailer, Walmart, is expecting holiday sales to increase by 3% this year. That’s in part due to a widening customer base after stubborn inflation attracted customers from higher income levels.

I mean it’s a weird to think that we’re talking about a mass shooting in terms of consumer confidence in spending and how it might deter them from being good little consumers
It’s insensitive at best and downright dystopian at worst
They will just make a harder pivot towards online sales and deliveries. They aren't gonna stop making money even if the customers are scared to go in.
Good answer. Good answer. I like the way you think. I'm gonna be watching you.
The only people scared to go into Wal Mart are the same ones driving in their car alone wearing a mask.
Only if they ignore the deaths of the victims. It's not necessarily wrong to talk about the broader effects this atrocity may cause
This is disgusting, people lost their lives and the fact that they're trying to make this about customers shopping is ridiculous. These events happen everywhere literally every week in America, and also he targeted employees. Shame on news outlets for making this about consumerism
Walmart states: “We are focused on supporting our associates”
Yeah well Walmart’s “support” or lack thereof only comes after a Supervisor shoots his own employees…
Seriously, Walmart cut bonuses to associates, started new scheduling that minimizes any kind of “family life”, reduced it’s workforce to 1 associate doing 2-3 peoples jobs and then Market Management Teams role around to each store and incessantly threaten termination to managers/associates if their insane workload is not met…
As it turns out Doug, treating employees like dogshit and cutting their benefits, then spending $4.65b on a football team isn’t really support…
People don't know the truth but can they handle the truth? It is just so inufferably disgusting lucky that nothing like this happens at home office but maybe they treat them better there.
Sounds like the military
This video is like the meme where a giant asteroid hits the earth and the caption says "OH NO, THIS MIGHT HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE HOUSING MARKET!"
So the story isn't so much about the shooting as it is about how sales are affected. 🙄🙄🙄
Yup F the people, it's all about the Benjamin's 💵
I love Walmart, buy my underwear’s from there ❤🩲😃
Absolutely disgusting!
What unsafe place gets rich, receives customers, tourists? Everyone is impacted by violence.
It’s sad when this stuff doesn’t even surprise you anymore
There's more guns than people in the US so it's bound to happen with such a huge population.
@@Joseph-xe1ry not bc of guns...bc of mentally deranged people....
If it was guns and guns were the problem....u just said there's A LARGE amount of guns in the US.... If guns were at fault there would be 1000 mass shootings A DAY
@@Joseph-xe1ry , Only with criminals bud. Everywhere guns have been banned violent crime went UP. Criminals are still armed & thugs who arent just switched to other weapons. Its a SOUL condition. America abandoned God and now the devils rule. America was based on morality & the Bible. The demonazies party of Satan eliminated all that. When good is eliminated evil will always fill the gap & take over. Jesus told us this was coming. Fools didnt listen.
Makes you wonder what happened to our society.
@@crustyzs6885 it's sad.....
So what they are saying is, the fact they stopped selling ammo didn’t do anything!
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 Because somebody who is crazy enough to shoot a bunch of people is totally going to follow the law.
Lol yes the solution to gun violence is clearly more guns. That will surely fix it. Has nothing to do with societal issues/mental health of course, just if more people had guns it would be good.
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 the fools are the ones thinking rules keep people safe! 🤣
Yeah and stopping gun sales dont stop shootings either!
@@acaughey09 Actually if more citizens carry guns then the minute an idiot started shooting they could take him out. Gun control laws which do nothing.
If I had the right to carry , I wouldn't be worried about shopping.
Yeah I’m sure the shooter wasn’t worried either
Fail to see your point
You know just because you would be carrying doesn't mean you're fully safe in such a situation. You could also cause further harm by using the gun you're carrying by shooting someone other than your intended target (accidents can happen).
@@Retro_Mage that can happen to anyone, even cops.
they would just shoot you in the back in the head before you knew what was going on.
LOL 😂, seriously???? I'll still go to Walmart and like always CC. I don't plan on having the MSM smile as they mention me as a victim to a nut to boost their ratings.
Exactly!
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 concealed carry, a firearm.
This video is a bad take and you should have thought more about making it.
NOOOO! NOT THE CONSUMER CONFIDENCE INDEX!!!!
This is horrible. May God bless the innocent lives lost.
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 ????what are you really talking about?
Rip bozos
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 I feel bad for you.
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318
The killer was a BLACK GUY.
How about doing your research before opening your braindead mouth?
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 You do not understand the purpose of the 2nd amendment.
Especially around a holiday surrounded around family.. god bless those who lose a love one(s)
Did she just really explain to us what a Walmart supercenter is? I mean do they even have regular sized Walmarts anymore? I'll bet you have a whole generation of people that don't even know what a regular size Walmart was.
Regular sized Wal-Marts still exist. When you search on their website for a location, it will denote supercenter or not.
I'm sure consumers have more confidence where open carry is allowed..
Was it not? I live in the area and open carry is allowed. I think what hurts it is it being the coast and very left and anti gun. Simply no one carries over there.
mass shooters open carry right into the store lol
@@basednoamchomsky exactly..
I thought i was emotionless then i see a “news” video talkin bout “consumer confidence” after mass shootings.
Gotta get that fear mongering in.
I’m always worried about Psychotic people when I go out! They’re everywhere!
Projection is a psychological term.
Be kind coz maybe one day people will say that about you.
And that's why you carry 🤷🏻♂️
@@jamesbael6255
👏 😂
@@your247support
How was that statement unkind?
It’s reality.
MSM plays a big role in what's happening, they glorify this behavior and hope it's racially motivated to boost their ratings so they can constantly go on and on about it 24/7.
Glad to see someone can see. You're exactly correct!
I feel the same way, they know it as well, but pushing a narrative is more important than the lives of the proles.
My guess is that there will be an employee drain at WalMart company wide. This manager (loosely termed) was likely not respected by his fellow workers. Why else would he turn on them?
Why are we even looking at this right now? Shouldn't we be paying more attention to the tragedy of the event and less on how this is going to affect the market? People lost their lives.
This is what happens when the laws don't allow you to lock up the crazies preemptively, before they flip out and start killing people. That said, I do all my shopping online. I'd rather pay shipping than drive to the stores and battle the crowds. The only shopping I do in stores is for fresh grocery items. I could opt for the pick-up services but I'd rather select fresh grocery items myself. I shop in off hours when few people are around. And I know my position in the store as per every exit, just in case.
You can have someone committed but most people don't they just leave their around unlocked or give them as gifts to the crazy person. Or the police give the gun back. It's happened so many times.
So whats the difference?🤣🤔.You get shot while buying food or while buying some socks
It was an employee as I understand it. But the police will up the ante on its patrons ? An armed law abiding citizen could possibly have prevented more deaths. Yet, Walmart is asking us not to help.... but will ask the police who are paid by us. Fine you want cops ? I'm sure there are some who would be happy to moonlight. Make some EXTRA dough for Christmas. Extra security costs extra.
Oh god no! Think of the profits! Won't somebody please think of the profits!!??!!
Not just at Walmart but also Target, Safeway, fast food places.
So his wife gets a phone call about him getting shot. But were getting back to the amount of money it might affect haha 😂
The narrative didn’t work with the Colorado shooting!? Now, this… 🤔
which walmart is this?
Crime has seriously reached an all-time high. My condolences to those affected 🙏🏻
Lol delete this please
Are there final numbers?
Order online I don’t even go to stores anymore
this affects my confidence with living in the US
Could always live in a rural area where there are 100x more firearms and practically no weapon violence like this.
The people that were killed didn't even pay for their selections. That's probably the worst crime of all.
dumb analogy, when all the postal shootings went on years ago it didn't stop us from going there. it was a workplace shooting...sadly someone snapped and took it out at there job. very sad
People in America seem to have gone rabid.
Yeah me and mine are going to pass on holiday shopping
Same, i mean it is kinda funny seeing middle aged obese white women fight over towels.. But not worth being trampled, beaten up, or worse, gunned down
I'm not even going to the grocery store if I don't have to. Stocked up weeks ago
Better hide in your safe place.
@@jimbeam2705 oh yeah it’s wonderful, home gym, own my own business, order everything online, can do pretty much whatever I want:
Right? Shop big when they tell you too? No thanks. I do what I want, when I want.
Nah this happens almost every year and the customers are still there 24/7
It’s not like it has deterred us from going outside. We all know we could get shot at anywhere, anytime in this country. It’s just part of being American. Let the shopping continue!
This is the first time Walmart has committed a mass shooting
Soon every customer will have to be searched before entering 😂
Shamelessly borrowing an Onion headline, or shamelessly unaware of how callous it is to publish something like this?
Be observant and know your escape route at all times.
Be observant and be prepared to render aid at all times.
And carry a gun
Or two
They ask that you don't open carry but can't stop you from doing so. I work at a walmart and feel better when I see customers who do open carry since they would hopefully be able to stop a shooter if need be. Being that this was a team lead on the clock means he wasn't open carrying at the time.
Where was this? Normally, the location is earlyi in the story.
I'm actually thinking of online grocery shopping from now on which I absolutely hate!!!
This customer can and will shoot back and does not fire warning shots. At a recent CCW renewal at the range I put 12 for 12 (silver dollar size) in the forehead at 21'. When asked by the instructor I pointed out that perps have no body armor there; good point was his response.
Mmm okay. That's meaningless though, hope you know that. Gun welding maniacs don't stand still and usually they also have the upper hand.
Now video tape u hitting a moving moving target at that accuracy that is shooting back. I’ll wait.
This is the internet bud. None of us believe you.
@@walexander8378 I don't agree. The guy who took out the mall shooter killed a moving target just fine. Moving targets are really not that much harder to hit unless they know you're there and are using evasive techniques.
The suspect doesn't necessarily have the upper hand since he's looking to hit multiple targets, the CCW responder is looking to hit only one target.
@@sunlightascendingmi I have no reason to disbelieve him.
That's getto. A shooting at Walmart...lol
Thank god I live in a open carry state . I’m always packin
I don’t need no gun to be packin 🥱
Please describe when you’ve used it to save lives, thanks.
Unless someone unpacks befo yawl
@@sirkiz1181 LOL
And yet almost all of the mass shootings in the US have happened in open carry states…..seems like your hun did nothing to help. Every state with strict guns laws barely has any mass shootings or gun violence
Won’t change anything for us in Tennessee. Except everybody that shows up to shop will be armed.
Pretty much the same as usual
I'd like to see that news story. 'Man opens fire in store full of people with guns, everyone fires back killing at least 10x the people than would have otherwise been killed by the loan gunman'
This is sad. People who shop at Walmart are already having a rough life
Where was this?
Chesapeake virginia
This what build back better looks like.
More like women’s liberation, guys aren’t getting laid like before and are becoming aggressive.
How will it affect....PROFITS?!?
Sounds like Wal-Mart needs better security officers
More guns should absolutely fix our too many guns problem...
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS LOL
I just don't understand why someone just up and decides to take multiple lives as I cannot understand the mind frame one can be in to commit such a voilent act on innocent people.
He has nothing to lose, from that point ANYTHING is a gain.
Be thankful you’re lucky and privileged enough that you have a life good enough to not understand what some people go through.
I forgot about the 2019 shooting, we have so many of them I can't keep track anymore
Right, so this video and its topic feels like it's right out of a dystopian cyberpunk setting. What the actual F*** Newsy?
It's pretty obvious everyone needs more 2nd Amendment in their lives to stop this evil cold. You are your first and guaranteed only line of defense. I beg you American citizenry...get yourself armed. -Captain, US Army
Why I conceal carry while shopping at Walmart or other stores.I'm not a sheep and will not shy away to not only protect myself but other shoppers as well should that need arise..It is legal to conceal carry inside Walmart.Walmarts only ask that law abiding citizens with conceal carry permits conceal their sidearms while in the store as their policy changed from open carry to conceal.
you can still open carry in walmart, I work at one in MS and see people open carry all the time
🙏🙏🙏🙏 for all the families ❗ God bless us all❗
American terminology on how mass shootings bring sales down lol
The fact that a meeting about this most likely happened completely failing to see what just happened.
What are the odds I get shot at a Walmart? Should I be afraid?
A wider company base...?
ya i definitely plan on quitting my retail job now
The wording of the stories is why. They didn’t run through a store shooting people. It was employees in a break room. Not really random
I know, right? This happens at least 4 times a week, why are people still surprised? The real solution would be to always have an AR-15 on you so you can join in on the fun and make it a really special event.
@@DigitalSteel an ar15 is the dumbest weapon to use for causing harm. Get a shotgun that takes a magazine and get a 100 rd drum for it and fill with buckshot. You would wish they brought an ar
@@Rgrinkleson Did that statement make you hard?
@@DigitalSteel not sure why you think that. Are you mentally challenged?
@@Rgrinkleson It certainly is challenging sorting out why you are so damaged
Shii iim still on get my $70 tablet 😂
Afraid to leave house during most holidays :(
Stay Strapped folks You never know when you’ll have to rain down freedom drops. It’s better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6
until one day you lose your mind and become the next shooter
A Walmart manager
Time to hire trained, armed, alert guards for every store and for many public places! These killers need to be taken out before people are killed and injured. Also airport type weapons checks at the door! And death penalty for every state.
This is horrible for the economy!!!
(jokes aside, people really died here so don't forget that)
People die everyday.
Government confidence
Well, everyone better get used to seeing stuff like this. Once you make an area “gun free”, it’s a hot spot for people that obtain guns ilegally and have no good intentions. I think everyone, men, women, young or old, should be carrying a concealed personal defense firearm to stop morally deranged people, such as this gunman, in their tracks. When you increase the amount of people that are trained to carry defensive weapons for situations like this, you decrease the crime rate. A criminal would be way less likely to mess with someone that has the ability to end a threat if it was to arise. Wake up people.
🎯spot on!
It's so obvious this is the answer and yet we have the potato-in-chief trying to disarm the law abiding citizenry with HR1808.
This is so horrible. 🙏🙏🙏
So sad❗❗
Is that really the issue here? Money? Shameful. Human lives were lost here.. Let's keep this in perspective. Have a sale......they will come.
Or it could be poverty wages an inflation
hahahahahahahah you gotta be kidding me !!!!
Constitutional carry.. have something to defend yourself with.. it doesn’t make you the crazy guy.
lol, you can't defend yourself with a gun, you can only shoot at people. That was already happening.
Fear mongering. Most shopping is done online now.
People died, but they are concerned about their sales, are you guys nuts?!
Yeah it’s not because of the 40 year record inflation..
It was an employee.
it was a person with a gun
Is this a different shooting
Get real!! Do you really think people are going to not shop because a store, not their store, has a shooting??
Nope, I am fine
Huh? More people get shot on Black Friday every year in my local area, a couple of Walmart employees getting smoked will have ZERO effect on XMas shopping..LOL!
These many mass shootings in schools and malls are disturbing but curious. What is the motivation behind these mass shootings.? What does anyone prove by gunning down strangers? Doesn’t it just verify “Hey! Look at me! IM CRAZY AF!” I mean, they can accomplish the same thing by offing themselves and taking a permanent dirt nap.
Crazy world we live in
Countries actively at war have fewer gun deaths than the USA
🚩 The Paul Pelosi Effect. Create a fake villain, and the actual suspect destroys the narrative. Funny how that works😏
Why are you More worried about sales instead of lives. Doesn't make sense
I think priorities have been lost
You don’t say ..
Walmart sucks, so does our g ovt, neither are of any value whatsoever
Whare?
What? No I’m still going for my ps5
So why are there no mass shootings in Switzerland or police departments? Because everyone had a gun. There's your answer.
Also because their culture is collectivist, harmonious, and for the common good. Ours is individualistic, motivated by capitalist greed, and infected by twisted American Christian entitlement
6 people dead and they're worried about money.
There have been over 600 mass shootings so far this year because dipshit Americans believe the NRA's marketing scheme stating that more guns should fix their gun violence problem. Every mass shooting is just another sales pitch that makes them even more money.
You're worried about Black Friday because some disgruntled employee got tired of their co workers? Well I guess we may as well just not have stores.
