The one nearer me has a great self-checkout area. I usually prefer self-checkout, and my wait is rarely longer than 1 minute. I don't shop there often - perhaps 2x per month for some specific items, but long checkout is never an issue. That said, it used to be, before the self-checkout area. And, when traveling, I end up popping in to Walmarts in various parts of the country now and then, and the checkout times are always a gamble. re: #6 - I wonder if it has something to do with the aisles being there more for the convenience of the packers and movement of goods in the store, vs the convenience of shoppers. I understand your point, and do notice it sometimes, and have tried to compare it to other shops. However, in the last few years, I found myself going to shops less and less overall, so it's harder for me to remember and compare against competitors fairly.
