Eli5: How do supermarkets like walmart make sure everybody left the store before they close?

Question

Do they have employees walking down each isle at closing? Isn’t there a chance somebody still walking on a different isle then they are?

Answer 1

Walmart generally doesn’t close. However, other retailers do close. In many cases, you’ll have “we’re closing in X minutes, please come up to the front to finish your purchases”. You’ll also have employees walk the aisles prior to closing to ensure all customers are gone.
