(which is one of the things that Walmart has been noted doing nationwide is cutting back on employees and letting shelves go empty).
The Walmart Supercenter that I usually go to is so busy that it's almost physically impossible to keep the grocery shelves stocked around the clock. To do so would take so many employees and require moving so much product that they would clog every aisle with pallets during the busiest times of day. They do stock around the clock, but they have to limit the numbers doing so during the daytime.
I've been there at 11PM and most of the shelves are decimated and aisles are filled with boxes and people stocking. I've also been there at 7AM and the shelves are full again. Try shopping at 7PM (or even 2PM on a weekend) and many things will be out again.
None of the other nearby grocery stores are faced with the same dilemma. They stock a few empty items and fill in low stock once a day.
