Friday TGIF I am celebrating this
0:05
historic day of the week with my Jason
0:08
Vorhees
0:13
t-shirt and we are actually going to
0:13
talk about something that involves
0:15
consumerism involves shopping and I
0:17
wanted to focus at the beginning of the
0:19
Vlog on this attention shoppers our
0:24
shopping carts will lock when taken
0:26
beyond our parking lot you ever actually
0:30
have that happen to you where you put
0:32
your groceries in a shopping cart basket
0:35
and you're actually like walking along
0:37
but you parked your vehicle a pretty
0:39
good ways away from the shopping center
0:41
the grocery store or whatever it is that
0:43
you're shopping at and then the shopping
0:46
cart locks up and it doesn't move and
0:48
you say what the heck and you have to
0:49
actually take the bags out and walk
0:52
let's say your shopping cart was here
0:54
you would have to walk the rest of the
0:56
way to actually that's not very far that
0:58
is not a good example because I would
0:59
not complain about that but it's very
1:01
interesting when the wheel locks up
1:04
wheel on the cart stops turning I don't
1:08
know where I will shop
1:10
tomorrow oh it's my second channel daily
1:13
Vlog channel it's the daily woo and a
1:15
very topical Vlog because I read on
1:18
Google and Yahoo top trending feeds wait
1:22
a second look at this there is a
1:25
pigeon hey
1:26
buddy hey buddy here's another one
1:35
maybe that pigeon wants that bag of
1:35
soiled materials there are you a soiling
1:39
pigeon let's talk about
1:42
topical subjects today I was online
1:45
reading some stuff and Walmart has
1:47
announced Walmart the PowerHouse of the
1:50
consumeristic world especially here in
1:53
the US OFA is closing
1:57
269 stores now you may be ask asking
2:00
yourself why is this such a big deal I
2:02
worked at Walmart for a year I know the
2:04
ins and outs of Walmart actually it was
2:07
a little more than a year I was actually
2:08
a dairy manager in St Cloud Florida at
2:11
the Super Walmart and I actually opened
2:13
the Super Walmart helped set up the
2:15
store I was one of like 30 people who
2:17
were originally hired and then three or
2:19
4 hundred more people over the year were
2:21
actually hired but I was on that initial
2:23
wave so Walmart holds a little place in
2:26
my heart I don't want to say a special
2:27
place in my heart because some of my
2:28
memories there we not the fondest but I
2:31
found this subject very fascinating
2:33
because Walmart is a Powerhouse a
2:35
massive
2:37
entrepreneurial company when you think
2:39
of huge companies in the US you think of
2:42
Disney you think of Walmart and you
2:43
think of McDonald's so why would they be
2:46
closing almost 300 stores and laying off
2:50
or firing if you will which is a kind
2:52
way of saying firing
2:55
16,000 employees so that is the topic of
2:58
this Vlog and I am actually at one of
3:00
the Walmarts that I don't know if this
3:03
Walmart is actually going to be closed
3:04
but these are the types of Walmart
3:06
stores that in your area you might not
3:09
be seeing as the year progresses what am
3:12
I talking about I'm talking about these
3:15
Walmart neighborhood
3:18
markets now from what I can tell by
3:20
reading the articles online these super
3:22
centers a lot of those are safe I think
3:25
maybe 10 or 15 super centers are closing
3:27
but these smaller stores like the
3:29
neighborhood markets those are the ones
3:32
that are on the chopping block
3:36
269 stores that is a lot of stores for a
3:39
major company to actually get rid of now
3:42
the more I read and the more I started
3:44
thinking about this subject it actually
3:46
kind of makes a little bit of sense
3:47
because I always wondered when I first
3:49
started seeing these stores pop up
3:51
around the country as I was traveling
3:53
around the country in my van and
3:56
traveling around and kening around the
3:58
country and sleeping in the back of the
3:59
van and sleeping in a lot of Walmart
4:01
parking lots to be honest with you I
4:03
noticed that a lot of these smaller
4:05
Neighborhood Market stores started to
4:08
actually open which I thought was very
4:10
interesting why would Walmart take
4:12
something that is massive and something
4:13
that is working and then spawn it off
4:15
into a little market basically trying to
4:18
monopolize the
4:20
entire grocery store industry with like
4:23
you know wind dixy and Publix and Ralphs
4:25
on the east coast and Stater Brothers
4:28
and those places they're basically just
4:29
trying to to take over every Market in
4:32
Walmart I am here to tell you that based
4:34
on your new decision that you announced
4:38
this morning obviously that plan did not
4:41
work so let's leave some comments down
4:42
below what do you think about these
4:43
closures do you work for one of the
4:45
Walmart stores have you been informed
4:47
this morning that you are actually going
4:49
to be losing your job I also did a
4:51
little bit more reading as well and it
4:53
seems they're going to give a 60-day
4:56
severance pay so if you are one of the
4:58
employees that is going to be let go you
5:01
are going to get 2 months worth of pay
5:04
and then you're going to have to move on
5:05
to another establishment and I also read
5:07
earlier in the week that Kmart is finest
5:10
Sears which bought Kmart or maybe Kmart
5:12
bought Sears I think Sears and Kmart are
5:14
the same company which I also worked at
5:15
Kmart for almost 5 years Kmarts the few
5:20
very small percentage of Kmarts that are
5:22
left are actually going to be going by
5:24
the wayside as well so a lot of Walmarts
5:27
we're going to be saying ad do Kmart we
5:29
are saying being a do it is interesting
5:31
how powerhouses of Industry especially
5:34
in the consumeristic world you always
5:37
think they're going to be around and
5:38
then all of a sudden poof they are gone
5:40
you can never ever ever count on
5:42
anything the only thing we can count on
5:44
is change isn't that the slogan so there
5:47
you go the Walmart neighborhood markets
5:50
a lot of them are going to be falling by
5:54
the wayside have a great day check down
5:55
below for my teachers out in the woo.
5:57
spreadshirt.com I will see you tomorrow
5:58
if you are new to these Vlogs I do a
6:00
different Vlog every single day I've
6:02
been doing it for over three and a half
6:03
years and I have not missed a day yet I
6:06
do abandoned theme parks I do live theme
6:09
parks that are still active I do movie
6:11
locations I do random weird wacky
6:13
roadside attractions and sometimes I do
6:15
topical things like this the Walmart
6:19
Neighborhood Market that is no longer
6:23
going to be inexistent in a lot of
6:26
states in the US also there's another
6:29
place there is the super centers there
6:31
are the neighborhood markets and there's
6:33
actually another smaller store smaller
6:36
than the neighborhood markets and a lot
6:37
of those are closing I am not familiar
6:38
with those Walmart just has so much
6:42
stuff going on maybe they bid off a
6:44
little bit more than they can chew but
6:46
chew on this I will see you tomorrow
6:49
here on the day goodbye
