I have a 10 minute or less rule when I step into any Walmart.

I figured most people of a certain age knew how and when to shop in store...regardless if you're a regular or not. i.e... checking out in electronics, sporting goods etc
Battery section is typically at the front near the registers...if not pulling up the website on your tells you which isle they're on.
Keeping rechargeable and alkaline batteries on deck so you don't get caught slipping >*

I don’t go to Walmart. It’s not hard to avoid here seeing as we are the target headquarters and plenty of Costco too.

NTer’s not rich anymore? I thought the new wave was getting groceries delivered.

Wife and i were in there Saturday. Turned all our barcodes up, explained to the lady what we did and she still tore the cart apart. Flipping stuff looking for the bar code. They seem to get it at Costco though.Is there only like one place to go in your town? I personally use Amazon Fresh/Whole Foods but 1-2x a month I go on runs with my mom to help her with all the heavy stuff. Usually it includes Walmart (there’s a Target around the corner but idk preferences?) and Sam’s Club (same as Costco).
I guess I don’t have a good comparison point but I feel like whether we go on a weekday or weekend (usually around 11-2) that Walmart lines are consistently quick. All self-checkout with no real waiting to get one. Looks kind of like what @eracism posted. Store is kind of always a bit crowded due to the aisles being so damn small but it’s still manageable.
Sam’s Club is like the got damb Wild Wild West doeGotta be cautious as hell in there not to run into something else. Pretty much all self checkout there which isn’t problematic for me but I can’t say the same for all customers. You just need to pick your line carefully based on data analytics and hope for the best

This is the way. When Walmart stopped being 24 hrs during covid I stopped going. Farmers markets, Food Lion deliveries, Amazon, BJs.

Do away with Wal-MArts? Nah for what.
I will use my hypocrisy points on something easier to avoid.

Getting groceries delivered is the wave. I would have just kept using UberEats had it never really popped off. I much prefer Fresh/Whole Foods to Instacart or something for whatever reason, though.
That’s a damn shame
Spot I usually take her has almost exclusively has self check out it feels like. Everywhere I’ve been to that is a grocery or convenience store feels that way tbh.You know #NTOverreactions . One minor inconvenience then they want to cancel the largest retailer in the world

Which size battery did you need? A 2032 or a 2025? You should have just gone to either a dollar tree or a local hardware shop. I've gotten my 2032 button batteries for our digital food scale at an Ace Hardware literally 4 minutes from home. And it's a 9-pack for less than $3!
Tip for next time.

I still prefer going in and getting my own groceries. I hate when they substitute stuff, plus people watching is always cool. Not in Wal Mart, of course.

Amped?
Hardly, lol I'm not the one who started a thread complaining about Walmart because you went there for a battery purchase & the lines were long 
For that small purchase, Walmart is the last store on my mind.
Glad you found one elsewhere.

Standing in a line 50 deep while the shoplifter just walks out casually
Save myself time with amazon and load up at Costco. If I am in a jam, convenience store

Enter through the garden or auto center.
Check out through the garden or auto center.

Lastly, find you a good booster who’s good with their conceal game. Get $200 worth of stuff for $75

That receipt checking crap at the door irks the hell out of me at Walmart. And the fact that people actually comply with it, especially during the holiday season to where I look like I’m the crazy one for strolling by a line of people waiting to get their receipts checked and just walking out with my stuff I paid for is wild. They aren’t Costco.
Like if you willfully refuse to pay or have cashiers on all those empty registers. You gotta give me the benefit of the doubt when using self checkout for a situation Walmart caused. I prefer to just avoid them completely though since Target is closer to me anyway.

Target is just as trash as Walmart, just with better PR. They're all smoke and mirrors.
Literally one check out person in the one I go to usually, and it's often 2 or 3 people standing around up front yelling at somebody to come up from another department to do it.
