Wall Farts

I went to the grand opening of a local Wal Mart Superstore this morning. First off, i want to echo a few of my co-workers. We were there on business, but -- don't OTHER people work? EVER? Places like that seem crowded all the time. There are even zombies there at like 3 am. Who are these people? How do they feed?

I was actually really sureal to walk around on their first day of operation. Everything was pristine. Nothing was out of place. A couple wierd things I noticed in my wanderings.
The lights over the produce are different than the lights in the rest of the store:

The soda display is right next to the toys now.
I saw a sale sign that said "Was 1.28, NOW .98!" How is that possible if this is the first day they have been open?
There was a "quick snacks" section of the snack asile. How much quicker can you get than a bag of chips? Were normal snacks so slow that they have "quick" snacks now? What is a slow snack? If it takes more than a few seconds to make doesn't the cross the line from snack to meal?

In all it was just a bizzare comentary on the state of American consumerism. It was funny to see all of the managers there with thier ties on huddling together like some secret ecconomic mafia.
