Walmart remodel heald way
 

Aisles now go full length of store. No middle cut through. Also feels narrower. New checkout self serve, new pos terminal, but no tap to pay which is nuts. It would save ten seconds per transaction.

Guess they need to squeeze more product in the store. Meh

Change takes time to adjust and unfortunately not everything changes for the better. From my perspective this neighborhood WalMart store was doing quite well before remodel and that success will continue afterwards.

The new self checkout terminals are great. Lots less need for an associate’s help.

Unless I was doing it wrong, there's not enough space to easily & efficiently place my recyclable tote bags on the counter for stuffing my groceries in. Has anyone else experienced this? I placed my tote bags right next to the multiple plastic bags; space was too narrow & I couldn't place as much into the bags as I wanted to. )

Also - don't like the lack of a center aisle that previously allowed you to cut to the chase & get to prescriptions, paper products, toothpaste, etc. Without the center aisle, I must go up & down their aisles & see products I have no interest in (but that might catch my eye & therefore select). As I've said to my husband many times - I want to know who was in the Focus Group that thought THIS was a good idea!

But I do like the extra self-checkout lanes.

HAS to be a result of Marketing. The more a customer needs to walk thru a store, the more they may see items and BUY. All about $$$$$$.

And more theft then usual which happen Saturday night when we were there.

Many self-checkout lanes closed while customers stood by and waited in long lines.

According to one clerk, they don't have people to man the cameras to keep an eye out for
unscanned items.
She also said so many people are quitting Walmart and going other places with higher pay.

Just passing along what we heard.

Dollars is the priority
 

Dollars is the priority for sure.

Especially when shopping for overpriced food to eat..........:1rotfl:

Well Walmart is a whole lot less expensive than Publix…

So.. they force you to take longer in the store - so, you buy more products. ;)

maybe its for the pick and pack people, shopping for you.

You got that right. :agree:

My neighbor's wife loves Publix because she likes getting the "fluff" treatment.
Well, I'd like to tell her she has more money than brains.

I haven’t been to that Walmart for months. Not enough parking. After driving up and down the lanes with no open slots, I give up and go to Publix.
