* They performed an experiment that showed that having a single security guard patrol the parking lot at night completely eliminated crime (mugging, car break-ins, etc. that occur with regularity in Wal-Mart parking lots), but they did not put it into effect to save what? $75,000 per year?* When was this last true? Where is this true? I've been to a half dozen Walmarts in North Texas which, I believe, all have security patrol in golf carts or old sub-compacts. At least the three I frequent do. |

This remark was meant to apply to my entire comment, although I just realized it only appears to be talking about the sentence that follows it. Much of my information comes from the 2005 documentary Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, and cursory fact-checking I performed at the time that I watched it.
What you've said sounds like a positive change to me. I've personally never seen security guards on golf carts, but I haven't been to Wal-Mart at night in a long time. If they have made that change, I applaud them, as well as the people behind the documentary who encouraged such changes.
