$500,000 a minute! Wow! I think people who visit places like Orlando should henceforth keep a full day aside just to shop in the local Walmart (if they are not doing it already!)

I LOVE WalMart, and can quite happily spend several hours there (providing I do not have my husband distracting me). I love just everything about it, especially the aroma of the coffee aisle. I am relieved though that they no longer have those lobsters just as you go in. I could'nt bear thinking about it!! If I could change just one thing in WalMart it would be the check-out system.It really could be a lot more efficient, even when busy with tourists.They need to have an empty 'cart', so that as they scan your items, they then go directly into the empty cart, rather than the girl putting two items per bag each time. I think they should adapt this system. It works very well in Kwik Save and Aldi. I know those stores are not as busy as WalMart, but a queue is a queue and they do whizz along in those stores. Next time I'm over I might just apply for a job to re-organize this for them. Chloe

I can't bear the shops that 'chuck' your shopping at you so you have no alternative but to put it in an empty trolley, I know this is a cost saving exercise, but the staff are just interested in getting as many people through the checkout as possible often with no interest or manners, I am a bit anal about packing my shopping and will normally not allow anyone to help unless its my Sister in Law, we have the same system!!!!

Anita I do agree to a point, on the rare times I do go in Aldi, they do chuck it at you, I do think though that KwikSave have it just right.They just scan, and PUT it in the empty trolley, you pack it yourself afterwards, which I, like you prefer. Chloe
apparently the Walmart on the 192/medieval times is the busiest in the US.
Must be all of us Brits-getting our fix!

Don't know about just us Brits, OB. Last Feb. we went to the 192 Walmart and the car park was quite full and a good third of the cars had Canadian license plates.
