Whoever runs Walmart's Twitter account is in hot water after a post-and-delete tweet that seems to have poked fun at Paul Walker.

It all started when a Twitter user posted a GIF about racing to Walmart to pick up a food item. 

Walmart's response to the tweet, "Hey, Paul Walker. Click it or ticket."

Lots of people didn't like the tweet about the deceased actor who died in a car accident so Walmart deleted the tweet.

Walmart did issue a statement that said, "We apologize to Paul Walker's family, friends, and fans. The tweet was posted in poor judgment and has been removed." 

Do you think that Walmart should do more than just issue a statement?
