Deadly Stabbing Inside Wal-Mart Bank | WSPA

Walmart keeps the doors open after a bank employee was stabbed to death....right inside store.

Out of respect, should they have closed the store?

Why would they have closed the store? When a police officer gets killed do they closed down public safety services?

Wal-Mart still has an obligation to it's share holders and that is to keep the profits as high as possible.

You're not going to close a multi-million dollar store location as a result of this random incident.

Hey Ron.

So, if someone you loved was laying in a pool of blood dying, should shoppers just go around the ropes?

This is so tragic.... Yes, the store should have closed.

Screw the investors, get back to human decency if even a fleck.

My remarks were from a business perspective not emotional. I'm sure even the Wal-Mart CEO would not want that.

Thank you. If not for the deceased, how about the family of the women stabbed to death, knowing the store kept ringing the registers as she lay dying....

These folks didn't close when they heard a murder going on nor did they call the police:

The non-responders were AppleStore employees.

That same "business" perspective is what kills the love for Walmart.
