That strikes me as possible in some cases, but ridiculous on the whole. If the police stopped showing up generally, Walmart would sue them. Being sued by Walmart is an automatic loss.
The police have no legal obligation to protect or serve. They especially have no obligation to respond QUICKLY to a business that is wasting their resources. Being slow to respond is a pretty common police tactic when people piss the police off so the continued fast response time is an indication of some other incentives at work.
