The food, makeup, underwear is at "Everyday low prices" but a Wal-Mart "date" could be for free.
Wal-Mart's taking on the role of retail matchmaker to some of its customers.
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Just when you thought you'd heard it all from the king of discount shopping, Wal-Mart is now pitching itself as the new dating hot spot -- with everyday low prices to boot.

I would assume the "flirting points" would include the condom aisle.

So will they have ethnic dating aisles and regular aisles, like food. Or maybe they can just have a bunch of russian ladies with price tags hanging around there necks, for the guy who just wants to cut to the point.

I like Wal-Mart just fine and shop their all the time, but if they implement this they will someday mark it as the beginning of the end.

Frankly, I think you'd be doing better with the clientele of a Walmart than a typical dating bar.

Back off a second, it beats the laundramat.
All that "hugging the greeter" gone wild.
I always flirt with the lady at the walmart bakery. At least I know she can cook.

You do not shop at the same Wal-Mart I do...
To: BJClinton
You can tell a lot by a person by what is in their buggy...
Pet food, hemorrhoid cream, trashy novels, Guns & Ammo magazine, a super-duper 1000 condom party pack, size 12 faux tiger fur spike heels, pickled pigs feet, a bag of live gold fish....

Our Wal-Mart is a little frightening. If I were single I would take my chances at the bar. Or at least the new Target they opened down the street.

I've joked for years that, one day, Walmart would install mini apartments for it's workers and the public. Or sell funeral packages.
That "dating" thing is even creepier.

Wal Mart is strictly for Chubby Chasers. If portly girls and single moms are your thing, Wal Mart is the place to be.

I'm only interested if I see beer in her cart.

I've been to a WalMart once in the last 9-10 years(when it was the only place in a vacation town on my way up north). I avoid it like the plague.
It's my populist side.
