Did you get out to Wal-Mart on Memorial Day? A friend gave me a heads up on this one. Finding it hard to believe I went out early the Tuesday after to get these pictures.
Seems they were shutting off the water along Dresden and Route 170 to switch some lines over with the new road construction. Every other business that is open over night out there closed down. The folks at "Wally World" decided to go with port-a-potties for the convenience of any overnight customers that needed to use the facilities. They put them right in front between the two entrance doors.
Is this an example of American corporate greed at it's finest or what? I think it is. It seems the dignity of the customers and the employees be damned. There might be a possible loss of making a dollar or two if they closed the doors for one night. At least they could of placed their out-houses in a less conspicuous location - maybe off to the sides in the corners where they marshall the shopping buggies. I wonder what Sam Walton would have thought of out-houses greeting his customers? He was a shrewd business man but from what I read about the man he had tons of consideration for his customers and associates.

I agree with your comments, however from your pictures, it looks like the port o potties are just one of the 6 million things for sale at walmart. They blend right in.
Wal-mart is the modern incarnation of Satan. It is a monster that destroys our civilization while the people stand in line to feed it.
