Walmart considers paying in-store customers to deliver online orders

davislane1 good one, I was actually meaning to write exactly that but I could not find the correct words so I gave up

Walmart should only be concentrating on adequately staffing it's stores so they can get their shelves stocked and open more than few of their 30 checkout lanes.

I'm not 100% sure that is basalt...

Also, I want to also defend walmart a bit here. I doubt this made it to news without at least some consideration on how it would be implemented, and that surely, they thought of what the first few comments to such a story would be and therefore, not let that happen in their ultimate plan.

But I also want to agree with TS-lotsofnumbers that walmart really really sucks at having people operating registers when you want to check out. My local one introduced some 'newfangled' self check outs, yes its different at least in layout than the old self checkouts, and it is horrible.

Wal-mart is having major problems even keeping things in stock. This is just another symptom of the problem. Give it a few years on their current course. My bet is that they will end up going the way of Lechmere, Service Merchandise, Two Guys, etc.
