One other thing about WalMart that makes us want to go to Target instead.
I learned this while earning my Master's degree:
Ever notice that WalMart always seems to have few checkout aisles manned, while the few that are manned are overflowed? That is a deliberate tactic by WalMart. Supposedly, it is done so as to not have too many checkers worker, equals less employees. Secondly, it makes shoppers want to go back and buy more stuff since they have to wait anyways, say you have a family, have mommy tell daddy to go get this and that while I wait in line. I have heard other reasons I can't remember, but those are the ones that stuck with me the most.
That tactic is not tolerated at Target. They keep most of their aisles open and manned. No waiting.
Master's degree and quaint observations all at the same time!!!
