I went to wal-mart this evening for groceries.  For the most part it was very uneventful, but I got lucky because the cashier closed her line after I'd already unloaded my groceries on the belt so everyone else behind me had to find another line.  That's at least 5 for the Walmart Experience, but that's also 5 for me since I didn't get screwed in the process.  That's a wash for a total of +0.

One minor thing that did annoy me a little but really wasn't such a big deal is they started restocking efforts at about 8:00 pm.  That means they drag all the pallets to the big aisles and work off the pallets to deliver food to the shelves.  This had the unfortunate effect of trapping customers along the wall of meat with no way to get back to the regular food aisles - since they blocked every single opening.

Now, I fully understand the need to have adequately stocked shelves.  I also realize Wal-mart is a 24 hour store, and never has a "closed" timeframe to restock like other grocery stores.  What I can't figure out is why they wouldn't shift restocking to hours when there are fewer customers in the store - say between midnight and 6:00 am.  I mean, if you've got to be open anyway, why not take advantage of the lull in the crowd and do your stocking when you won't inconvenience customers.

Again, it's just poor management.  My wife was with me and that helped make it not so annoying that it ruined my trip - it was just an observation.  Craig 3, Walmart 1.
