I've been wondering about something for a few years now. I figure the smart people who visit these forums will have an answer. Why is it that Walmart wants me to enter their stores on the left and exit on the right, which is contradictory to the standard that I'm use to? Is that the way they do it in the rest of the world?

I've noticed that too, but I'm usually so gobstruck by the surrounding peoples attire I never gave it much thought. This is especially true at the Apopka Wal-Mart, I'm sure you know the one! ?????ÿ

Stay out of Wal-Mart.?ÿ That will solve many of your problems.

It has now been more than 10 years since we have purchased anything at a Wal-Mart.?ÿ Support your small time operators who are simply attempting to do business where they, and you, want to live.

I don't think it's just Wal-Mart. There are multiple stores I can think of where you enter on the left side, and the logical explanation is that the exit side is the one closest to the checkout lanes. The direction of the doors should reduce the amount of collisions between incoming and outgoing traffic.?ÿ

@flga-pls-2-2

The shopping carts are stored on the left side.

It depends upon which end of the store you enter.

They got 4 entrances.

One on the right - enter on right leave on left

One on the left - enter on left leave on right

One from Automotive

One from Garden center.

I thought a buddy told me he had been hired to be a buyer at Wal-Mart.?ÿ Turns out he had been hired to sit near an exit and whenever he saw a customer leaving he was to wave to them and say "Bye". 😕 😕 😉 😉 ?ÿ
