Against the decade long protest of the erudite throng here, Walmart
finally got their Estero store open.
It is disguised as a line of small Mediterranean shops in keeping with
the Estero Design Committee requirements that try to make the whole
town look like the house of Zorro designed it.
I have avoided it but I needed propane and they have a Blue Rhino
franchise that is $5 less than anyone else. (yeah I know it is 3
pounds less propane but so are the $20 ones)
I was surprised when a guy met me at the door, told me he would have
my jugs swapped out by the time I could go into the garden center and
pay. A couple minutes later I was carrying them to the truck.

I decided to go in and look around. The first thing I noticed was the
customers were not walmart people. They were yuppies (no fat women in
sweat suits or bunches of screaming kids)
The other thing I noticed was lots of people were actually trying to
sell me something. It wasn't that vast wasteland with no employees you
expect there. I suppose that may change as soon as they get
established.
Another thing I noticed is a few familiar faces from other stores. The
guy I knew the best said walmart had a better pay and benefits package
than Ace Hardware so he jumped.
My FIL said a lot of his "McDonalds" old timers jumped too.
I was surprised.

Thankfully, Walmart's plan to build a new "superstore" in the mid to
south county area failed thanks to citizen opposition, and so we just
have the evil regular-sized store that's easy enough to drive by...

Yeah, you don't want that hacienda looking thing to literally suck you off the street and through their front door.

I'm sure that when walmart has something he wants, on sale for 20-30%
less than they have it at his regular store, he pulls his hat down
over his eyes and slinks in for the bargain.

Nope. Never been in the store. Have no idea why campers are in the
store's parking lot at night, don't wanna know.
