In one Walmart, there’s steady customer traffic in groceries and drugs, but not much in the other departments. Many people tend to be more frugal with age, and there aren’t many jobs for younger folks.
Has any one really looked at the cheap chineese crap that passes for clothing? It mostly looks like rags, color bleeds when washed and ruins your whole load of clothes, no regularity in sizing, colors are off season wise, who wears coral in winter, or for that matter in summer if that is the main color you carry. Women are picky about colors as they realize they can make you look bad.
Most of it is for 30 and younger, not much for seniors. Crazy color schemes that are ethnic, falls apart after 1 or 2 washing’s, crooked seams, badly sewed on buttons, shoes that are so cheaply made they don’t last 6 months.
Then there are the pre packaged meats that only GOD knows what the quality is, just like at McD’s. Cereal cost as much as it does at a grocery store, as does the basics of milk, butter, eggs or bread. No times on the pre cooked foods from the deli.
Shelves are not well stocked, to many racks on the floor and you can’t get a shopping cart around them with out knocking stuff off or over especially if you are in an electric cart, and only a couple of lines open.
Old Sam’s moto was buy American for the most part, since his death it’s buy cheap chineese crap.
