Im frightened. Singles night .. at Wal Mart - GoFuckYourself.com

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Just when you thought you'd heard it all from the king of discount shopping, Wal-Mart is now pitching itself as the new dating hot spot -- with everyday low prices to boot.

In fact, the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer's been playing Cupid to hundreds of lonely single German shoppers for well over a year now.

According to company spokeswoman Amy Wyatt, Wal-Mart's been running its "Singles Shopping" campaign in all of its 91 stores in Germany.

Here's how its works.

On Friday nights, singles looking for romance, mindless flirting or just a new friend head over to their neighborhood Wal-Mart where they're given a big bright bow to attach to their shopping cart or their shopping basket.

Then it's up to the willing participants to approach one another and take it from there. However, if that sounds too intimidating, Wal-Mart has set up "flirting points" around the stores stacked with "romantic" merchandise such as chocolates, wine and cheese to somewhat ease that first awkward step.

Said Wyatt, "The singles night runs for two hours in the evening, from 6 to 8 p.m. every week. Our managers there told us that its been hugely successful and has actually boosted store traffic and sales in a lot of markets in Germany. In some stores we're getting 300 to 400 people taking part every week."

Wal-Mart (Research) feels so good about the idea that the retailer trademarked the "Singles Shopping" slogan in German and is also testing it in its stores in Puerto Rico, South Korea and the United Kingdom. Someday, it could even pop up in a few of its U.S. stores.

Wyatt said its German associates actually came up with the concept one day when they overhead a female customer talking about how difficult if was for her to meet interesting single men on a Friday night.

"This was a middle-aged woman who felt she was maybe too old to go to nightclubs,"Wyatt said. "That's pretty much been the theme here where most of the singles are middle-aged to older customers."

"Singles Shopping" isn't the only match-making idea Wal-Mart's trying out. Wyatt said some of the German stores also feature singles bulletin boards with pictures of single men and women who frequently shop at Wal-Mart.

"If you're interested, up can post a picture of yourself with a few details," Wyatt said. "The store gives you your own box kept at the store. If someone is interested, they'll fill out a card with their information and drop it in the box."

How successful has the campaign been?

Wyatt said,"We've heard that one couple that met on singles night is now married. Another cute story is of a 74-year old woman who posted her picture. A 74-year old man saw it but was nervous to drop his card in her box. So the Wal-Mart associates first got him spruced up at the hairdressers at the Wal-Mart store, took a picture, and posted it on the board. I think the two of them are now seeing each other."

"Oh dear lord,

I pray unto thee that if my life ever leads me in the direction of seeking love through the local Wal-Mart, you strike down a force upon thee that will put an end to my insanity.

Amen."

Lol.... That's just sad...

Kre8t0r · 04-08-2005, 09:50 AM

I would be scared to see what a "Blue Light Special" on that night would be...

TondaB · 04-08-2005, 09:51 AM

Not what I would recommend if you are looking for a sugar daddy!

BVF · 04-08-2005, 09:53 AM

There might be some hot snatch up in there....They should set it up in the USA

jayeff · 04-08-2005, 09:53 AM

The kids around here made Wal-Mart the place to hang out years ago. Even they know it's pretty sad, but except for the one movie theater and the local restaurants, it's the only place for them to go.

Next will be "park night" at the wal-mart.
Basically what happens is gay gus will stroll the garden department with towels hanging out of their pocket...when signaled they will then go behind a potted plant and give each other blow jobs etc.

pushpills · 04-08-2005, 10:05 AM

Yeah I love how people laugh at ideas made by corporations that waste more money a day than most make a year here.
But then the adult industry is filled with a lot of deluded people who think THEY are geniuses because they came up with some dumb ass reality concept for a porn site.

Yep... most of the restaurants are empty by 7:30 and outside of the movies, the only night-time entertainment is the fights in the one bar that sells full-strength liquor. Sunday through Thursday is pot luck, but it's a poor Friday or Saturday without 2 or 3 decent brawls

axelcat · 04-08-2005, 10:16 AM

lol.........

yup, the Wal-Mart I shop at is never short on hotties...they even have some female employees that are pleasing to the eye...

what some of the morons in this thread are forgetting...this is bringing in people who might not even be in the store that night...and they are BUYING stuff..."flirt stations" are niche marketing at its finest...

sometimes I wish this industry were filled with more marketing and sales type people than just a bunch of guys who want to look at porn...

that is fuckin hilarious! anyone got a link to the article?

Herb Kornfield · 04-08-2005, 11:49 AM

Brilliant marketing strategies to say the least from Walmart.

They will be able to guarentee times of heavier traffic, do more product placements in areas as they said, PLUS... the people there will buy more shit cause their minds are elsewhere in tang land and not thnking of how they cant afford the shit they are buying.

Wouldnt suprise me to see them hiring co-eds to cruise and talk to men into buying shit under the guise of being interested in them, lol...... I bet its being done.

Fucking brilliant Wal mart.

Agreed. It is all about the marketing. Although I would much rather be shopping at your Wal Mart than mine. Mine seems to be full of mom's that have 20 kids each.

Tom_PM · 04-08-2005, 11:55 AM

What goes good with KFC, a box of red wine, or a box of white wine?

Tom_PM · 04-08-2005, 11:56 AM

And yes, I was just kidding. Wal mart is like anywhere else.. real humans of all shapes and sizes work there. Probably better place to meet people than a bar, thats for sure ;)

Yea, that's where I want to meet the future love-of-my-life: Shopping the bargain bins at Wally World....
