I stopped going to Walmart for that reason.

I remember as a kid in Mexico, you had to go make a line at the store. When you finally got to the desk, you would ask for what you wanted to buy. Lol, needles to say that's exactly how it still works in small local stores. Its a little like buying cigarettes at the gas station, but for everything minus the ID.

That's not good for business, but hey, it's been decades of my life and they're still working like that. Maybe there's something to it? I hate it though. I would never shop there unless it was the last place on earth.
