I am sitting at Panera Bread doing e-mails, job surfing and all those other wonderful things with a panoramic view of Walmart. It is amazing what the folks at Walmart can do for you. This is a small Walmart (if they can be considered small) but does contain a garden shop, pharmacy, automotive section, and a small restaurant.
Other Walmarts include small Doc-in-a-box operations and even others have tried wedding chapels. You can have a blood test done, pick out the wedding trousseau and have the ceremony all in one location. If you don't take the tags off the dress you can return it on the way out. If the groom doesn't work out you can return him too. Can you imagine the return lines for the wedding chapel? I don't think I really want to have the P.A. system announce the results of the blood test in the middle of the wedding vows.
What can be next for Walmart? Can Sam Walton discover some long lost Native American relative and open up Casinos throughout the country? Given their propensity to pressure supplies to stretch the bounds of appropriate labor I could imagine that some slots would never pay off while others pay off constantly. I'd put the machines right by the check out lines so that the patrons could have a chance at doubling their stake and buying that extra mega bag of beef jerky.
Out in Nevada Walmart could add discount Cat Houses. Maybe they could get their laborers overseas. After all, they have been screwing the overseas labor markets for years.
