Walmart is doing away with cutting stations. When new stores are built or old ones renovated, the cutting stations will be replaced with a selection of pre-cuts/packaged. Ugh! I hate it. Rumor I heard is that Sam's wife was a seamstress and insisted on the cutting stations. When she passed away corporate (in typical bean-counter fashion) decided they could increase profits by eliminating people needed to cut and maintain that area. One of our stores has already been remodeled. I've heard the other is soon to follow.
