This Is The New Mandatory Rule At Texas Walmart Stores

Now a new rule is being implemented to the operating hours of every Walmart in Texas, and many are applauding the decision to make it mandatory for all stores, not just some.

What new rule is Walmart implemented for all their Texas stores?
They are actually expanding their sensory sensitive shopping hours from being Saturdays only to every morning from 8 AM to 10 AM.
