Wal-Mart has closed stores before in the past, no doubt about that, as well as Sam's Club locations, just a few each year though. Sam's Club has never closed this many stores at once and in the most absurd way possible. Yesterday, customers ready to shop and employee's going to there job were greeted by security guards and police at 63 Club locations across the U.S. to find out the store was closed for the day. Most have reopened today for regular business, but yesterday they closed to change there computer system and take down and deals and sale prices.
These closures came as an announcement directly after Wal-Mart agreed to increase the minimum wage to $11. This is what happens, the employees want to be paid more, the company can't operate more stores because the overall cost will decrease overall profit, everyone wanted to be paid more, but with the increase, Wal-Mart has to cut a percentage of employee's to keep profit's on record.
