Many people take Walmart for granted. They see a dirty, crowded "super-store" that is a pain to shop at when you have little patience for busy and overpopulated places.

Walking through the sliding glass doors of Walmart at 3 a.m. is a pretty shocking sight. It looks exactly like you would imagine a store in heaven to look. No lines, sparkling white clean floors, and every cashier in the place waiting to ring you up. You expect to see hundreds of people throughout the store or standing in line to buy things, as you would if you were to go shopping there at any other time of day. But somehow, it is as if you are walking through a ghost town.

You can wander through the aisles freely, without having to worry about the obnoxious people you may need to dodge just to get the items you want. Everything is in its place, as it is hours before the mob of unruly children and parents even think to come and knock things out of order. Items are easier to find, and the shopping experience is so much more enjoyable and relaxing.
