I have _NEVER_ been at a WalMart with more than 4 checkout lanes open at one time.

This is a deliberate sales tactic by Walmart however .... they figure the longer they can keep you in the store, the more you will buy, so they deliberatley understaff the checkout lanes.

This is true

Ever wonder why every goddamn Home Depot has the entrance and exit at opposite ends of the store, therefore making it impossible to park anywhere where you don't have walk at least a quarter mile to get to and from the store? It isn't because Home Depot cares about your health and wants you to get your daily exercise routine in. It's a marketing ploy. The longer you walk around a store, the more likely you are to make an impulse purchase.

Same reason most chain stores are set up differently design wise. Common sense tells you it would make the most sense designing every super Walmart the exact same...IE, the food aisle on the right, the clothes on the middle, and the electronics/toys/automotive/hygiene on the left. Business sense tells you that it's a better idea to mix them up from store to store, so people will spend more time finding the things they need, therefore passing (and subsequently purchasing) things they want
