Boy did you hit the nail on the head. Last year I was in a super walmart in Aurora Ohio when the lights dimmed. It was like shopping in the dark. I took my cart which was 3/4 full to customer service and asked for the manager. He discussed the situation using the green energy pr. I informed him that maybe he liked working in a cave but I don't like shopping in one and, since that is your attitude you can restock the merchandise from my cart in the dark and I walked out of the store. I'm usually an easy going person until someone rubs me the wrong way!
