I don`t believe WM helped themselves at all in our area. They now have what a clerk told me, "A small supper WM" What I don`t understand is why bother with the cost of over 20 registers and never more than 2 with some one to check you out. By the time they call some one to help, the people are sorry they came in. Also I worked retail for yrs, and will never know why they push over sized displays of every thing, That means less variety.In the end they so much of one item they have to clearance it out. Remember how the old Mom & Pop stores had every thing? Very seldom had a sale and it was a depression? But there was always a clerk!
