Is walmart holding me against my will?
If I were an employee or a customer at a large retailer like walmart and there was a tornado warning (with emergency alert sirens on), is walmart allowed to round me up into the middle of their store when they page a code black and tell everyone to go into the middle of the store. Their managers stand at the front doors and tell you that you cant go outside, they tell you to go to the middle of the store…to me it just seems like a deathwish to go into the middle. I hate to sound morbid but it just seems like it would just make it easier to find the bodies if the store was ripped apart by an F5 tornado.
So legally i think i could do something if I was a customer, however I’m not sure if I were an employee I can do anything if I want to leave the store to escape the impending doom.

Walmart managers can NOT hold you against your will. It’s called kidnapping.

..You really think a lot about these things..
I think it’s mostly about legal things because they’re just taking standard procedure to save your ass.. I don’t know their procedure.
