I really am looking forward to it. Walmart is closer to us than the Metro (formerly A&P) where we do the major portion of our food shopping. I shopped at the Walmart supermarket in Belleville, also a recent addition, a couple of days ago and enjoyed it. Lots of fresh local produce and good prices.
This afternoon I ran in for a quick purchase, which turned into 3 items as I picked up a thermal cup for the car, on sale, and a small towel for our powder room. The towel was also on sale, for $2. Shopping at our Walmart is always pleasant - wide aisles, nice people, speedy checkout, well-kept store - and today was no exception. In fact, the cashier came up to me and invited me to check out in her aisle, so I breezed right through.
Inspecting my receipt, I saw the towel had rung up as $3. So, I stepped into the returns aisle instead of going out the door to my car. There were four people ahead of me, adding time to my in-store experience, but I was determined to right the mistake, even if it was only for a measly dollar. After all, the only reason I picked up the towel was because it was marked down.
Once I got my dollar and 13 cents back, I was finally off and running again. A 30 second purchase turned into an 8 minute wait to have Walmart's data entry error fixed, immediately after. Ironic, eh?
