Dear Huntington Beach, CA WalMart, here are the reasons you need to completely change the way you have redesigned your store.
1st: The outside color. Who choose that dark, ugly brown? Someone who's completely colorblind? Do you know how dark that will be at night? To properly light up the outside you will need a LOT more lights. Wasting a LOT of electricity. Yep, an obviously un-green choice there.
2nd: No rugs on the inside. Okay, California is not the wettest place in the world, but we do get rainstorms. With no rugs to take the water off our shoes there near the entrance there will be lots of slippery tiles. A lot of your patrons are older people on limited income. There WILL BE a lot of broken hips and a ton of lawsuits.
3rd: Speaking of the tiles - who choose those things? Besides being ugly, they're incredibly slippery even when dry. On top of that because they're so smooth the first thing kids will do is pop out the "heelies" and start skating up and down the store. The kids will whip around the store, running into elderly people, laughing, causing injuries and broken bones. Welcome to lawsuit territory #2.
4th: Who decided things should be so high up? Not everyone is 6' 5" tall. Are you going to have ladders in every aisle? Or will you equip employees with stilts? Perhaps you'll start being like the modeling industry and have a minimum height requirement for employees of 6' 1".
5th: All those weird displays and the way the pharmacy suddenly juts out. You can't find diddly squat. And forget about getting help in electronics. The employees are either all long gone from that section or completely ignore the customers.
It's bad enough you did away with the craft and material section. Not to mention cut the shoe department down to next to nothing. Now you have the store designed in a way that is VERY UNFRIENDLY and rather DANGEROUS. What's worse I hear all WalMarts will be redone in this way. Well, it's horrible, it needs to stop, and it needs to be changed back, NOW. Period.
