    In other news, my air mattress sprung a leak, so when I awoke to find part of my body at floor level, I decided to replace it. I wanted the same brand and model, but #Walmart had a different brand & model (less expensive; we'll see how long it lasts) on the shelf, so that's what I got. I would not be surprised if my original model is on one of their aisle-blockers.

    If you haven't been to a US Walmart, most locations put display racks in the middle of the walkways, so that people have to slow down. I'm guessing that people do more impulse buying this way.

    The aisle-blockers are another reason I shop elsewhere whenever I can.

    Speaking of memories, for all these years, I have been shopping at the #Target store where #sonTwo and #Daddy_A worked. I have seen the service slide, followed by stockouts -- even before #COVID-19 -- of specific products, followed by general inventory shortages, followed by replacing known good products with low quality store branded products.

    I still go to "Super Target" instead of #Walmart or the nearest supermarket. Or I go to the cross-town supermarket and stop by the Target in that area.

    But I'm not happy with them. If someone opened a clean and well-stocked store within walking distance with the quality products I want, I would switch in a heartbeat.

    We talked a lot about #Microsoft's purchase of Activision-Blizzard and other game studios and about price comparisons between #Walmart, #Target, and #Amazon.

    If an item is available at all three places, I generally prefer to buy it in person at Target, even if it costs more than either Walmart or Amazon.

    Someone forwarded me an e-mail about #Walmart selling satanic merchandise. I didn’t reply, but I thought “You don’t have to look at their products to find evil associated with Walmart”.

    If they sell stone altars and human sacrifice kits, it is merely a reflection of what has long been true about the organization.

    Just as an example, #Target used to be known for its wide, clutter-free aisles. #Walmart, on the other hand, is known for causing storewide traffic congestion by filling most of the aisle with displays and shelves, preventing customers from getting past slower-moving customers.

    And if you're considering #Shoyu ( #iOS app ) as your #GNU_Social client, it is garbage. It apparently was an old Twitter client that supports Twitter's functionality from several years ago, and very little else. It is slooo-o-o-o-o-o-owwwww to post, even when other clients are not.

    I haven't seen anything else for iOS that supports GS, but it might be worth going to the big blue discount store (aka #Walmart ) and buying their $80 #Android device, so you can use #AndStatus instead. AndStatus is not known for being fast, but it can run circles around Shoyu, even running backwards, with its eyes closed and its ankles bound.

      City officials said the store will remain closed until it has been professionally cleaned by a third-party specialist and approved by the local health department.

    I remember when 24 hour #Walmart first came to this area of #SoCal. A friend used to call 01:00 or later and ask if I wanted to go shopping. After one such trip lasted three hours, I stopped going. But she'd would still call and ask.

    Was in #Target, #Walmart, and another store today. Still no TP.

    So I remember POM class (production and operations management) being very thrilled about JIT / Kanban type systems, where product was not stored in a warehouse, but delivered just before it was needed. The problem with that (known even back when I was in college and university) is that any hiccups or unforeseen changes leave your supply chain struggling to catch up.

    I thought about this late last year, when Walmart put up signs restricting purchases of dishwashing detergent because there was a nationwide shortage. I found myself wondering how it was possible to run short of such a substance for months at a time. My conclusion at the time was that "lean manufacturing" and JIT inventories were to blame.

    The world is not the stable, predictable place we like to imagine. It would be wise of business managers to build some slack into their processes to help even things out.

    My image of Bentonville, #AR, is probably exaggerated. I think of a #Walmart store, distribution center, or office building on every corner of the central part of town, with a Walmart airport nearby and row after row of tidy Walmart employee houses around the perimeter. With some sort of forest growing right up to the edge of town and three or four highways leading into / out of town.

    I know that's likely to be be really inaccurate, like imagining a zillion Wendy's quickserve restaurants in Dublin, #OH, because that's where their HQ is, or at least it used to be there. (I've actually been to Dublin, Ohio, so I know that is not true.)

    Posible huelga de Walmart Chile se centra en inteligencia artificial en el retail

    Algoritmos vs. empleos

    Más de 17 mil trabajadores, pertenecientes a las cinco cadenas de supermercados de propiedad de Walmart en Chile, se encuentran votando la huelga, tras una negociación colectiva que no ha logrado acuerdos. Según los trabajadores, las máquinas de autoservicio y los robots reponedores están afectando sus puestos de trabajo y contabilizan en 2 mil los despidos este año relacionados con la automatización.
