Our Wal-Mart's Open 24 Hours?Really? Apparently both the Redmond and Bend Wal-Marts are now open 24 hours, and have been for over a month (April 30th, according to the woman I just called at the Bend store). While some people locally really hate Wal-Mart, I do know I'll be happy if I need to go get drugs or something for sick kids (or wife) in the middle of the night (and the selection at 7-11-- the only other 24-hour store in town, as far as I know -- is pretty minimal). So, was I the only one that didn't know this? I just asked Barney and he said he didn't know about it, either (so I wasn't losing my mind). When I think about Wal-Mart being open 24-hours, it always reminds me of this hilarious true story about an (ex)-Wal-Mart employee who had a bit of fun. That should be required reading for everybody who works in retail. 2 CommentsBarney said on 06/02/05 @ 08:54 PM:I felt a wee bit less ignorant when I learned there's NO big sign out front saying "OPEN ALL NIGHT" or somesuch. (And I guess it hasn't brought a spike in crime or somesuch - the police chief didn't know until I told him;-) We had the story on NewsChannel 21 tonight. Thanks for the tip, Jake! monkeyinabox said on 06/03/05 @ 03:52 PM: Ahhh..that's why the other night I went there close to 10pm, and the sign on the door said close at 9pm, but they weren't. I moved quickly grabbing my jar of pickles and immitation Cheetos and thought I made it out before the closing announcement came, but it never did. Post a comment |
