On Friday I had to go to Tractor Supply and then on to WalMart. Tractor Supply had a much fuller parking lot than Walmart did. All of the registers were going at full speed.
At Walmart, there were two of the Grocery style lanes open and three of the 20 items or less registers going. And even then I only had one person ahead of me. Now I must say that our Local Walmart is in a small town and not a city, but it is still next to the major highway and was not busy at all.
In my quick walk-through Walmart I can also report that the Sporting Goods was the busiest department of all. The slowest? Toys, followed by Health and beauty.
I walked though two nyc Best Buys this afternoon. Both had very light foot traffic.
Both stores were very busy on Friday, though.
