I think wm has been believing their hype - they think people are all going to shop there. Our local wms have seriously limited their inventories - no choices - wm brand and one other. I've told people working there that if I have to travel to get what I want, I won't be shopping at a wm.
Years ago the thing was no more than 3 people in line at checkout - well I'm sure you've all been in lines longer than that!
Sam wanted to provide American goods at reasonable prices - that's long gone.
oh yea, you CAN'T GET A CELL PHONE signal in our wms - maybe some of you ladies had already been here! LOL
