I went into one of their competitors stores.

It was a two story super Walmart in size. Greated at the front door by 3 very cute young ladies instead of a grumpy old guy. The store was very clean.

Nearly every aisle had a cute lady there to help you find stuff.

Great customer service all the way around. Prices weren’t bad either.

I hope they start up in this country, if they promise to bring along those cute Korean ladies.

I have never seen that grumpy old man greeter in a Wal Mart, your little shopping tales and anecdotes do not ring true. It is just a bunch of anecdotal nothing, as you seem to have some personal vendetta against Walmart.

It is because of guys like you and the left's war against Wal Mart, that San Diego does not even have a Superstore, and we are the 8th largest city in America. We get the Democrat Costco, but no Walmart superstores.

"The Regulation of Superstores: The Legality of Zoning Ordinances Emerging from the Skirmishes between Wal-Mart and the United Food and Commercial Workers Union George Lefcoe, University of Southern California"

Having saturated the less populated heartland of America, Wal-Mart is carrying its supercenter expansion program to major urban areas. Wal-Mart supercenters merge discount retail with full service grocery stores under the same roof. Because supercenters compete head-on with unionized supermarkets, they place downward pressure on grocery worker wages. The United Food and Commercial Workers, the largest representative of grocery workers, has joined other Wal-Mart critics at city halls across the country in using zoning laws to restrain Wal-Mart’s supercenter expansion program. A smattering of law suits have ensued, and more are sure to follow."

"This paper describes the types of anti-superstore zoning ordinances favored by the UFCW, and the legal objections Wal-Mart can expect to be raised against them. At the top of the legal checklist are equal protection, pre-emption by the National Labor Relations Act, and prohibitions against the use of zoning to regulate economic competition. Anticipating these objections, the UFCW and its allies can make a public record sufficient to insulate virtually any anti-superstore ordinance from being invalidated in court. But this cannot be accomplished easily or inexpensively, because enacting jurisdictions wanting to avoid remand will need to commission studies to fit the claimed rationales for these laws. Market impact assessments sensitive to the local trade area will almost always be required, and in a handful of states, including New York and California, so will environmental impact reports. If the UFCW and their grocery chain allies find the zoning effort too costly and cumbersome, they may wish to consider extending ‘living wage’ controls to grocery workers, a move more likely to be resisted in the political arena than blocked by courts."

I think it’s funny you think having cute girls standing around waiting to help you find stuff is good customer service.
