Did you ever wonder why there are so many things on the intetnet devoted to Walmart, photographs, incidents, well, perhaps this is one of the reasons WHY?
About 140 million Americans shop at Walmart every week. "That's half the adults in the country, going to Walmart every week." If each shopper only spends 30 minutes at Walmart, on average, that's 70 million hours of time Americans spend at Walmart each week — that's kind of incredible."
* With 1.5 million employees in the U.S., Walmart is the country's single largest private employer. "Walmart has added more employees in the United States in the last year than Google or Amazon actually employ total," Fishman says. "In many states — at least half the 50 states, Walmart is also the No. 1 employer."
* There are 3,140 counties in the United States and some 3,822 Walmart stores of every kind — Walmarts, Supercenters, Sam's Clubs. That averages out to more than one store per county. So there are roughly 500 Walmart employees per county.
* Of the 3,822 Walmart stores, 2,939 are Supercenters, which means they are open 24 hours a day. So in virtually every county, 500 people work at Walmart, and there is a Walmart open every hour of every day, and every one of those Walmarts is being visited by 37,000 people a week — that's 220 people an hour, in every Walmart, in virtually every county in the whole country, every hour of the day.
And one of my "pet peeves," 1 our of every 3 Walmart customers will select a product, decide they do't want it, and just leave it somewhere in the store, where it DOESN'T belong.
