The problem with lines is that they're everywhere now. Labor markets here in Nashville are so tight that a fellow can literally walk in off the street and get a job. I was in Burger King a while ago, and someone walked in asking for an application. The manager, instead of just giving him an application gave him an application, a shirt, and a hat.<g>. I agree that currently Wal-Mart is bad now with long cashier waits, but I think it's more a function of the tight labor market than a deliberate strategy - the "help wanted" signs are up. That said, they're still a world better than K-Mart, and in a relative sense Wal-Mart's lines aren't really worse than any of the lines at competitors. I guess that's the problem we have to deal with when people shop more than they work <g>. Shane
