I'd like to know what happened to the second person too. I'd also like to know what they started the fire with.

Are the regular Walmart employees able to work their hours? If not are they being paid for the lost hours for something that was not their fault?

And most of all is it TRUE that Walmart is sending its discarded foods to Haiti?? If so, what about the Samaritan Shelter in Pocomoke? What about the Foodbank in Virginia? Can't they distribute it amoung the poor in the area somehow? Why send it to Haiti where there are already stock piles of food they can't distribute?

It it's good enough to send to Haiti it looks like it would be good enough for the good old American citizens.

Walmart should gather up all the stuff and send it to Haiti with that search group the tattler's all excited over.
Oops, better not rag on them too much, otherwise the groupies will come out of the woodwork blaming PPE for the Haitian excursion not materializing.
