An ex coworker of mine worked at walmart in the 90's. Internet wasn't widespread, so they'd do real time inventory tracking via satellite uplink, trucks would be loaded and dispatched with whatever sold. Now days, it doesn't sound quite so interesting. Back then it was impressive. There's so much extra tech available to everyone now, it's not nearly as tough as it was then. I'm not much of a walmart fan for various reasons, but that sounded like pretty darn interesting work.
