wal-mart do-over

If you aint figured it out yet, Wal-Mart is "remodeling" their stores. They call it a remodel but looks to me like a mess. I think they're doing like 1800 stores.

A Wal-Mart spokes person said "the remodel strategy is aimed at getting customers to shop in other areas of the store they may have previously ignored". I hate to tell them but I ignored those areas cause I didn't need anything from them. Yea, if they move it all around, I'll be shopping in other areas because I can't find shit! About the time you get the lay-out figured out, they move it around so you got to hunt what you want. I guess they figure that I'll see something that I didn't know I needed and buy it. Here's a thought; I already know what I need, make it easy for me to find. That would improve my shopping experience.

I got an idea how Wal-Mart could improve. They should develope an app for your cell phone, call it "Shopping at Wal-Mart". You'd open the application, look at a list of items, check the ones you want. Then schedule at time for pick-up, drive by one of those things that you swipe your debit card in, drive past a window where they'd throw all the crap in the back of your truck. Done and done, you're headed back home or somewhere besides wandering around in WallyWorld looking for your stuff.

Think about how much time you could save. It's a win-win idea, Wal-Mart could save money too. No shop lifting. They wouldn't need the old grumpy fart at the door or the rude woman at the check-out. I figure they could just toss your stuff in the bed of the truck, couldn't do any more damage to them then she does slamming them down in the bag.

The slogan is "Save Money. Live Better." I like Jeff Dunham's better "Get your shit and git out!"

I was just thinking as I was standing in line at Wal-Mart (I spend too much of my life in line at Wally World) that the top dogs at Wal-Mart corporation more than likely spent a lot of time figuring out how to make this line move as fast as possible. And what actually happens? This chick running the register is clueless! She has this fancy carousel with bags on it, all she has to do is load a couple of bags, spin the wheel, start over; load bags, spin wheel, start over. Instead of doing it the obvious way, she drops a few cans from about 3 feet in the air then picks up the bags and holds it out waiting for me to take it.

I just stared in disbelief, after what seemed like minutes, this crazy woman shakes the bag at me. Well I finally took the bag, there's 8 or 50 people in line behind me and I don't want to hold'em up. Did she miss the training? Load bag, spin wheel, start over.....  Does she need Pat Sajak to show her how to spin?

Anyway, I wait for her to fill a bag then try to outsmart her, I start to turn the carousel so I ran reach the bag and she can keep scanning my crap, she grabs the bag before it gets outta her reach and hands it to me. Wal-Mart; home of low prices and low IQs.

I finally get headed to the door, that damn door-greeter better not stop me to ckeck my receipt(that's another blog)............
