Branson Wal-Mart evacuated because of sagging roof

BRANSON, Mo. | A Wal-Mart Supercenter in Branson has been evacuated because its roof is sagging under the weight of snow and ice.

The southwest Missouri city said in a news release that the store closed around noon Thursday.

Inspectors with the city's Planning and Development Department and the Branson Fire Department have been sent to the store to evaluate the roof. A structural engineer from the Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., also has been dispatched to the store to conduct an inspection.

Meanwhile, workers are clearing snow and ice from the roof.

1. Great, they send guys up to add more weight to the roof

and risk their asses cleaning it off---at WalMart wages.

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. In Branson

:rofl:

[ColbertWatcher]

4. Exactly! Wal-Mart doesn't give a shit for people who work. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. They probably hired a crew of illegals to clear the snow

[ColbertWatcher]

12. And their kids. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. And paid them well too!

:sarcasm:

[ColbertWatcher]

16. No other kids anywhere on Earth will be paid more chocolate coins than these kids! n/t

9. Or city wages.

When that happened to a grocery store around here it was fire/rescue guys that cleared the roof.

2. What is good about that headline? Something funny I am missing?

Like a Leno headline or something?

5. I don't know, I just thought it was funny

There are about a gazillion WalMarts around here and probably dozens in Branson alone and most are open 24 hours a day. Now we know what it takes to close one.

7. I wonder how long it might be closed

and what the average 300-400 people who work at a WalMart will do with decreased paychecks due to this situation?

edit - typo

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. It's Branson

I doubt they will have much trouble finding another low wage job.

8. An act of God?

or Nature?

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. or Karma

[biscotti]

11. Karma

Definitely Karma!

15. Wonder if the workers clearing the roof

volunteered or were appointed.

:evilgrin:

17. Well we know they don't want to be in a union!
