Walmart was started by a devout Christian businessman. When he died, the store went humanist, losing it’s special appeal to Christians. God might have something to do with it’s current state of affairs.
Depends on local factors to some degree. The one near me carries Bibles, guns, and plenty of Duck Commander logos ... and it’s busy 24/7.

He was also very smart, well educated and used a lot of technology.
I think people are having a bigger effect..........
Walmart has three stores within 15 miles of each other around here. Two are mega stores and the other one is fairly large but not as large as the other two. The closest one to us is the smaller one. It’s service sucks. It’s constantly out of items, bare shelves. They will have dozens of boxes of say one style of cookie, and the one people like and want is empty because WHEN it is there, people buy up all the boxes they can get because it is constantly out. They don’t seem to get the drift that people prefer that brand or style and not the others, yet they continue to stock lesser of the one that constantly sells out and the other one is full, not a box missing. You tell them, they say, we will make a note of it and the note goes in the round file I guess. Our store has lousy, very lousy service. Long, long lines with people standing in lines for 10 to 15 minutes waiting to check out. We usually go very early on Tuesday mornings, 9 a.m. or so, and get in and out before the mob shows up. We do not go on Monday’s because they are out of milk, bread, fruit, until at least noon because their deliveries are always late up into the morning on Mondays.
When Sam Walton was still alive Walmart was a big supporter of American manufactured goods. That also changed dramatically once he was gone.
