I told them to look at him. He's probably their guy.

On a serious note, it's amazing but not surprising or maybe just amazing that it's not surprising how everyone immediately goes "disgruntled (former) employee?"
Like, that's definitely how they are and everyone knows it. Lol.

When you think about the so-call supply shortages, what will a fire of this magnitude do to the already skimpy stock on a lot of store shelves in some areas? This was a massive DC with the entire thing being a loss along with countless pieces of equipment that was outside set to be picked up. The Walton's have lost .05% of the family fortune.

Because we've all seen Office Space.
I think I read somewhere that this was an internet online Amazon type of "fulfillment center" where they put stuff in boxes and mail it to people.
So my guess is the internet shopper people will have delays or refunded purchases for a while.
Regular Walmarts might not be affected unless they start pulling product out of the regular DCs to ship to the lazy customers.

I wonder what it's like to be gruntled. I've never been a gruntled employee, former or otherwise.

They lost capacity when they fired @Sinister. He was good for like 25% of their freight. So I doubt they'll make any "extra" moves.

I seldom feel the need to grope things before I buy them, but if I don't know for sure what I need I will. Like the first air dryer I bought for the Mack. I had to compare in person due to the lack of 360° photos and being an air dryer virgin.
Next one will be online.
Walmart itself doesn't have much in my line of interest. I think the last thing I bought there was an oil drain pan. I used curbside pickup. Too lazy to walk all the way to the back of the store but too impatient to wait on a courier.

I'm actually more concerned about the loss of so many dry van trailers. That worsens the shortage even more.

I would never feed any of my dogs commercial dog food. I always make my own for him/them depending on how many we get in the house. Right now, it's just one, because he is a one dog household and I like to keep the wars to a minimum. It takes me about 20 minutes on a Sunday morning and it's worth it. I combine that with Dinovite and this is the healthiest dog we have ever had.

I'm not hard nosed one way or another. If local has it and they're not stupid overpriced, I'll go for it. Like my chain saw.
But I'm not paying $200 for a $50 faucet just to support local.

I never "applied" at Wally World yet..
Was hoping that someday I can't string my Social Security checks together that they will let me put on a shirt & tie tell everybody "Welcome" to Wal-Mart..
The way I have this planned out is the "Cute" Older Ladies "Ma'mn" let me get that Cart 4 ya look that's a good cart there and wheels don't wobble..
Thanks for shopping at "Walmart"..
Hope 2 see ya "Again" soon..
Don't wanna "Burn" that bridge before I get there by "Trucking" for em

You should apply and see what happens. Test their resolve. Or desperation.
You don't even have to work there. Just see if they'll hire you.
And I mean driving.
