A customer gave birth inside a Missouri Walmart store. The woman’s water broke in the toilet paper aisle and had to undergo 30 minutes of labour with the help of another customer (who was a labor nurse), and Springfield firefighters. The mother and child were taken to a local hospital after the delivery, as UPI detailed:
Jessica Hinkle, store manager at the Walmart store on Sunshine Street in Spingfield, said the woman's water broke in the toilet paper aisle of the store Wednesday and the expectant mother warned employees her last child had been born after only 30 minutes of labor.
Hinkle said customers clapped and cheered for the woman as she was being taken out of the store on a gurney.
The manager said she spoke to the woman Thursday and both mother and baby are doing well.
The Springfield Walmart is currently operating on reduced hours to allow customers to clean the store and restock shelves amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Don't such stores usually use employees, vendors, or contractors for cleaning and restocking?
