Can you tell us if they're still partially shut down, and if not, why?  No, of course not.  They all re-opened when other stores selling exclusively non-essential merchandise were allowed to re-open.
Or are your ideas of this also vague?  I never represent as fact anything about which I am uncertain.  

Those questions are rhetorical. Don't answer them.  Oops, too late.
I agree it's only fair to try to prevent Walmart for selling furniture, if furniture stores are shut down. I never disagreed.   LOL.  You absolutely disagreed.  Here's the quote from your own post on the 27th "Do you think this partial shutdown of walmart is a good idea that should be done throughout the US? I don't."   That's not what you're trying to discuss though. You're trying to discuss me, and regardless of if I want to hear that or not, no one else does.  Just trying to help you climb out of a negative rating.  Friendly advice.....if you want to be taken seriously, stop contradicting yourself, be less argumentative and don't express your opinion or a vague recollection as fact.

My work here is done.  Sneakers out.

I don't think it was ever a good idea to shut down sales of furniture, clothing, etc. It wasn't a good idea to shut down those small businesses that only sell those items, and it wasn't a good idea to partially barricade costco and walmart.  Enforcing limited occupancy, temperature checks at the door, and social distancing within the store, those were all better ideas. 
So I'm not contradicting myself.
And then we have your accusation that I made a statement of fact when I was actually uncertain about the thing. This is an interesting accusation. It hinges on what I meant by the verb "try" and on your ability to correctly perceive my tone or mood in this wall of text. 
Normal people don't try to nail down definitions that tightly, outside of a court of law, and normal people understand that they might miss someone's mood or tone in an internet forum.
All y'all are assuming I'm saying something else, when Im not. You, copycat, and FSG are all practicing a subconscious form of self-deception known as bulverism here in this thread.
I'm not asking you to stop, cuz I don't want to ruin your fun, but I am asking to recognize what you're doing.
It's not normal, and it's not necessary.
