‘Walmart sucks,’ fumes shopper after finding store doesn’t keep to hours shown online – cops broke the bad news

A WALMART shopper slammed the retailer after they decided to close early, for no apparent reason.

The customer claimed they were shocked when she was turned away at the door by police.

"@Walmart Walmart in Charlotte NC SUCKS!!" a user shared on X, (formerly known as Twitter.)

The shopper shared that they drove to Walmart's North Tryon location in North Carolina and even double-checked online to see what time it closed.

She thought she made it in time, however, when the customer got there the police refused to let her in.

"The North Tryon location isn't supposed to close until 11 p.m. as listed on their website but I tried to go there at 10:10 and the cops at the front door told me 'were closed.'

"Why in the hell are y'all closing 50 mins EARLY???"

'MUST WE SUFFER?'

Walmart's store hours have been a controversial topic for years.

The retailer is typically open from 6 am until 11 pm throughout the week.

However, many people have demanded that Walmart return to having 24-hour locations on social media.

"It's time to bring back 24-hour Walmart so I can go shopping at 3 am in peace," one shopper posted on Facebook.

Other commenters agree with the poster.

"Right! How long must we suffer? All night Walmart!!" one person wrote.

"Yes, it was handy," another person added.

"Loved going before my 7 am shift," a third person commented.

The retailer changed its store hours across the country in 2020, due to public safety.

Walmart stores closed in 2024

So far, Walmart has closed the following stores in 2024:

• San Diego, California - February 9
• El Cajon, California - February 9
• Columbus, Ohio - February 16
• West Covina, California - March 29
• Towson, Maryland - April 5
• Granite Bay, California - April 12
• Milwaukee, Wisconsin - May 19
• Fremont, California - May 24
• Aurora, Colorado - June 7

Many customers assumed that the change would be temporary, but Walmart never returned to the 24-hour schedule.

The retailer crushed shoppers' hopes officially last year when a shopper on X asked about the company returning to the 24-hour layout.

The retailer commented back, revealing it plans to stick to the limited hours.

“We don’t have any plans on returning to 24 hours, but you can always shop online anytime,” a spokesperson responded to the customer.

Walmart revealed that labor shortages, supply maintenance, and lack of necessity to have the store stay open all night led to their decision, according to Best Stocks,.
