Wasting Time with Walmart

July 21, 2010 by Annamaria Turano — Executive Director, MCAworks

I have to run an errand to Wal-mart today and I’m dreading it. 

I’m dreading that the parking lot will be mobbed as usual.  I’m dreading that the store will no longer carry the item I am looking for (despite having bought the item just a month ago). And, I’m dreading that the entire trip will be unproductive and a waste of time.

To address my anxiety, I went online to check the item’s availability in-store only to receive the news that I must “check the store for availability.” 

Why is the world’s largest retailer not valuing my time as much as my pocketbook?  Perhaps their new tagline should be modified to “Save Money. Live Better. Lose Time.”
