Sweating in Wal-mart
6/11/2010 at 11:40 PM
I go to wal-mart all the time to do most of my shopping but lately I have found it incredibly hot inside there. I was in today and went down to get some milk and they had all the coolers covered in tarps. I asked the associates there and he told me that Wal-Mart has shut the air conditioning off to "Help the environment" and now one of the compressors in the cooler has broken down because it just can't keep up. So they have to tarp it to keep everything cool. Plus they want you to find someone who works there to get what you need from behind the tarps.
I am all for helping the environment but it is so warm in there when your shopping as it is I wonder how the employees are dealing with all the heat.. I feel terrible for them. You would think that a company would want to keep the store cool and comfortable to keep the customers happy and shopping longer. All I wanted to do was grab my milk and get out!
