Target acquired Zellers (Successful Canadian cheap Wal-Mart) in 2011, so in the years after, most of their stores were turned into Target stores. The Target stores were brand new, they looked extremely good. People didn't buy their stuff as much as they first thought. I went there a few times. They had great stuff, but it was pricey... people want cheap stuff, right? So they closed all the Target in Canada in less than 2 months. Seems they lost incredibly huge amounts of cash in the process.

Workers need higher wages. However, wall mart want to trim expenses. That means more people working off that clock for which you get no pay. Also, more stores close down with zero warning. Frankly, to rent a tiny two bedroom house you need at least $15 an hour and that is a lot more than wall mart pays.

Is that a map of what Walmart should be paying?

I used to work at Walmart, such a terribly corrupt company to work for... They require you to with overtime for free.. If you don't, you lose your job. Right before I quit, they were subtracting $1.00/hour from us! Of course, if anyone sues, they have all the money in the world to pay off the lawsuit... It's an evil company, and guess what? I have to shop there because I can't afford to shop at the regular grocery stores! The sick irony...
But about the plumbing, every Walmart I have been to has nearly identical blueprint /floorplan...So it seems logical that if the plumbing system was built "crappy" (pun intended), they'd all have the same problem...*shrug*

Understood -- You (I) really have to play the other grocery stores --- coupons, BOGOs, and not buying items not on sale. I do buy chicken at Sam's. It's so darn cheap there. Hate to give money to them, but it's half the price. Seems like the government isn't interesting in protecting workers at all. I wonder if Sam Walton would have approved of this behavior if he was alive.
I'm personally doubting the plumbing theory. It's odd that it started the same time as Jade Helm. It's a bit freakier for me because one of the Walmarts is local to me.

Perhaps you can let us know if you see anything suspicious going on there, especially after mid July when Jade Helm officially starts.
