No lights on at Wal-Mart

[Bryan]

Went to Wal-Mart Sat. 11-14-09 at 7:30 pm and it was pitch black. No lights in store or parking lot. Only a few cars in lot. Many employees wondering around door outside. I did not ask anyone what was going on. All the other places around looked fine. Anyone know what the deals was? This is very strange for Wal-Mart.

I just walked in when the lights went out!! Total darkness. They just went out. No explanation.

We were there as well, lights went out. We left and went to the store on fairmont, when we came back by the lights were back on and people were shopping again.????

This was due to a blown transformer, the team fron Center point energy got off of their lazy hindquarters at the waffle house and had it fixed in no time, the problem now is why did the emergency generator not operate? I want to know.
BTW Steal all you can while the lights are out....

I believe they had battery backup, they did announce that we had twenty minutes to check out as soon as the lights went out.
