Funny, I hardly ever have to wait at Walmart, but sometimes our local Target store has long lines because there are not enough checkers. Target has gotten better about that lately, but I don’t have a problem with Walmart. I haven’t noticed shelves being empty, either.
Maybe another commenter was right. It’s true of the blue states, but not here in other places.
not true at the three Wal-Marts in San Jose, California--a very blue city...
Not a problem out here in blue Iowa either.
