I don't. There are no Walmarts in my country. But this report looked rather odd to me so I wondered whether U.S. patriots are seeing this type of activity in stores where they live.
Walmart has had survival food for a long time, even orgs like Red Cross have been pushing being prepared for earthquakes, hurricanes, ice storms, etc. They also sell "costco-sized" packs of food items to compete with Costco and the prep market is just another one they are trying to get in on.
Stores also often have shipping containers on site for storage, for things like Christmas inventory or to store product during a remodel.
The thing with the aisled blocked off with tape or plastic and the sign they are not able to sell the product is weird. Maybe they had an issue with their health department license or something and not allowed to sell certain product until they were cleared.
My local walmart has made their store smaller, by tarping off what used to be the home repair section (paint, tools, etc) to make a false wall and moving those products to where more seasonal items used to be reserved for. Peeking above the fake wall is just empty space with a few cardboard boxes littering the floor. It makes the store look better stocked. It reminds me when the Kmarts were still open but clearly not getting any new inventory coming in.
Thanks for the report from the field. In Singapore I don't notice major product shortages but then again people tend to buy groceries and home items online here so product shortages wouldn't be quite as visible as at brick-and-mortar stores.
Why on earth are you still shopping at WalMart?

I don't see anything similar to this happening where I live in Singapore.
Are all U.S. Walmarts doing this? Or only those on the East Coast (area presumably affected by a La Palma tsunami)?

I heard Augasson was halting production due to shortages. May or may not return to business. Maybe Walmart set up to sell the stock they have left.
