“‘Lock the doors put a sign’. People will ignore the sign and break into the locked doors and ask why they were locked. They’re really that dense,” one person wrote in the comments section.

Another person said, “With all these pranks nowadays, I wouldn’t believe y’all either!”

“OMG I DO THIS AND THEY STILL TRYNA WALK IN,” one viewer shared.

The creator of the video uploaded a follow-up post explaining more about the situation. “We did lock the doors, the exits, and the entrances,” she says in the video, “And we did have a sign up telling them that Walmart is closed.” She continued to say that nobody listened to them. Instead, people walked by her and her coworkers, staring at them. The creator explained that they closed to sanitize, clean, and restock the store.
