Walmart constructed a new barricade at their front entrance, as if they are preparing to be attacked by looters. Are they trying to prevent cars from crashing through the front?

No, it doesn't mean anything. My walmart always had those. The big concrete red balls outside Target stores are also there for the same purpose but they just do it with more style. It is anti-terrorism, but people losing control of their cars and ramming into buildings by legit accident is more common that you'd think.

I have also seen similar entrances at bigger stores. This Walmart didn't construct all these metal poles at the entrance until now. It's a Neighborhood Walmart, the grocery store only, and they just modified the entrance. There are still metal shipping containers in the parking lot and there is other "remodeling" work going on.

The store did not originally have this barricade at the entrance until this month: June 2022. The Walmart corporation decided to install this now at this time, and I would like to know what they discussed and how they came to the conclusion to perform this construction work years after the grocery store was built.
