    If she really wanted to attract attention she'd run the ad in more newspapers, simultaneously (right?)

    She didn't want to attract attention, per se. She wanted to virtue
    signal to the other Elitists. But, same as you, it doesn't matter to
    me. I will never shop at Walmart - and that's been my stand for over 20 years.

    That makes sense. She's proving her loyalty. Maybe there was doubt about it among the reptilian community.

    I don't know how people can unsee the timing of the curbside pickup system, but they do. "Coincidence."

    The future is here, but it's not distributed evenly.

    The retailer that I worked at piloted a curbside pickup 15 years ago. I think we had it in 10 stores. Places like large institutions (like rehab centers) loved it. They put their orders in on line and then drove the big van over to the store to have them load it up.

    And then there was the online order that was beer, chips, liquor, more chips, more alcohol, more chips, etc.. Must have been a good party.

    It's a great invention, but a big store like Wal Mart must have known that it was going to help them keep their sales up even if a customers, for some unknown reason, just might happen to be unwilling to walk inside of the stores for a the next couple of years.

    (They made a phenominal prediction.)
