Wal-Mart Rumor...
My sister claimed that Wal-Mart opened their doors and let people in to take what they needed. I haven't heard about this. I did hear that they donated some $15M to the cause...but I didn't hear about them "letting" people loot their store.

Can anyone confirm if this is true or not???

1. I heard on tv several days ago
that Office depot made the offer to take all inventory needed, but not Walmart.

2. They'll get it all back so don't think they're being generous
They'll probably try to make PR hay

3. I think I read about the NO Police "opening" a Walmart and letting people
take what they needed. Unfortunately, it turned into full scale looting and they picked the place clean. Poor Walmart.:sarcasm:
