If you really think about it, the only reason someone gets out there in the middle of the night and buys baby formula is that they need it, and they have been waiting for it, Bill Simon, the head of Wal-Marts U.S. store business, said at a Goldman Sachs conference last month....
There is a significant portion of the unemployed population that is at home, not getting up til noon, and has walmart as a midnight diversion.
BUT you aren’t addressing that fact that it’s not just ANY night at midnight.
It’s the night that their cards are refilled. You CAN survive on food stamps without needing to be at midnight on the night they are refilled.
If you are that desperate...you are a poor manager.
