You had me from hello
Just when you thought you’d heard it all from the king of discount shopping, Wal-Mart is now pitching itself as the new dating hot spot — with everyday low prices to boot.
Here’s how its works.
On Friday nights, singles looking for romance, mindless flirting or just a new friend head over to their neighborhood Wal-Mart where they’re given a big bright red bow to attach to their shopping cart or shopping basket.
Then it’s up to the willing participants to approach one another and take it from there.
But if that’s too intimidating, Wal-Mart has set up “flirting points” around the stores stacked with “romantic” merchandise, such as chocolates, wine and cheese, to help with that first awkward step.
Said Wyatt, “The singles night runs for two hours in the evening, from 6 to 8 p.m. every week. Our managers there told us that its been hugely successful and has actually boosted store traffic and sales in a lot of markets in Germany. In some stores we’re getting 300 to 400 people taking part every week.”
Think I will stroll the aisles next friday at my local Wal-Mart..

Hmmmm….
Wal Mart has had some trouble getting permitting recently from the City of Austin. However, the Austin City Council has also contemplated the idea of paying $750K to a night club that recently burned down that happened to be frequented by minorities.
So, if WalMart re-spins their pitch to the City Council as a trendy night spot for for the minority community, they might get somewhere.
