Did Sam Walton call you from his grave with this information?
I wonder if this Wal-Mart is the highest grossing one of them all.
I saw there were extended passenger carts throughout the parking lot that were picking up customers who were parked pretty far. It was like an amusement park and I wished for a second that I could be there. |

I finally gave in and went to the Super Wal-Mart.
The only other Super Wal-Marts I've ever been to are the ones in Yuma and Mexicali. The one in Yuma is a lot better. Not necessarily with the stuff that they have inside, but the lay out itself.
The lay out of this Wal-Mart looks a lot more like the one in Mexicali. It just looks dirty and unorganized. Very uninviting.
Personally, I don't think I'm gonna be going to Wal-Mart to buy my food, I don't think I have much of a choice for the other stuff.
I've already stopped going to Food 4 Less. I'm gonna go local. Not because I believe in the whole local thing, the local owners are a bunch of greedy bastards too, but because my shopping experience just feels more comfortable at the local markets.
Damn, I miss Vons. |

| Apparantely, walmart is not making as much money as they thought they would make, so they are cuting the hours on some of the workers and probably have to lay some people off. I got this from a pretty reliable source. anyways, not like it fucking matters |

Most new businesses hire more people at the beginning than they'll actual need...so layoffs, right now, are really no proof of poor profits. |
