evidence: Walmart has quashed online rumors that it will soon start operating 24 hours a day by confirming they have ‘no immediate plans’ to return to around-the-clock opening hours. Recent internet rumors suggested that the retail giant would implement a 24-hour schedule in all its stores from June 3. Walmart previously operated 24 hours a day, but they paused the practice during the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020, much to some customers' annoyance. "Walmart has announced that starting June 3rd all locations in the U.S. Will go back to 24hrs," a since discredited post on X read. [...] "Great news for late-night shoplifters. 24-hour Walmart starts back August 14, 2022," read a Facebook post from the time that was shared widely.
