WALMART MAKES CHANGES TO STORES

Walmart is making two major changes to its stores to make shopping easier. First, the retailer is cutting down on the number of products it sells in its giant supercenters. Instead of selling six different sizes of the same brand of ketchup, for example, the stores will only sell one or two sizes of the condiment. The company also is lowering the height of shelves near checkout areas by roughly 1 foot to make it easier for shoppers to see the whole store when they walk inside. However, this will lessen the amount of gum, candy and magazines in the racks by the checkout, but should improve the visual look of the store.
* If only we could improve the visual look of the typical Walmart shopper.
* How about making the aisles wider, because … you know.
* A smaller selection will make shopping easier? Yeah, you’ll discover quicker that the Walmart you’re in doesn’t have what you want, so you can get the hell over to Target.
* So giant Walmart supercenters will be less super.
* How about actually having more than one of those 20 checkout stands manned?
* I don’t mind if there’s less gum and candy in the racks by the checkout, but keep the Cosmopolitan magazines. In every single issue they have new ways to have The Hottest Sex Ever.
* The crazy thing is some boss probably makes 500 grand a year to tinker with this stuff.
* Gee, micromanaging much?
* This should improve the visual look of the store? It’s a Walmart’s. Relax.
* “I wasn’t going to shop here today but I glanced in and saw the shelves were a foot lower and I couldn’t say no.”
* The lower shelves will also make it easier to spot the formation of the Black Friday stampedes.
* First, McDonalds introduced Breakfast All Day, and now this! Life is good!
