Watching the Growth of Walmart Across America

I work for Wal-Mart in the Electronics department, our store, though very small comparing to other stores in the same county, has been having outstanding sales and tremendous amounts of new customers coming in that normally would not shop at Wal-Mart.

However, that being said, one of the biggest stores in the nation that had just opened up in early 2008, was inspected by the big boys in the company and they failed miserably. Stuff was laying around on the ground, customer support (which is the MOST important thing to Wal-Mart) was poor, and overall a disgrace. I'm not sure of all that happened, but several members of my store, and managers, went to help out for a couple of weeks.

But as for closings, if that store doesn't turn itself around, I can see it closing, but nowhere, not in 5 years at least, will a Wal-Mart turn upside down. That's what I think, and what I think Wal-Mart wants us to think :hmm:
