I thought this was amusing to see a huge clearance on weight loss items that are towards the back of the store. You have to walk through the impulse items to get to the fitness aisle. This implies that most Americans are overweight (which we are) and if you want to loose weight, it can be simple. You don’t have to pay for an expensive membership to a gym just to loose weight, you can buy the equipment for less at Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart is trying to get its customers to go “green.” With trying to be environmentally friendly, more products will be sold. Also, with Wal-Mart stating that they are helping our local farmers, people feel like they are helping out their community by buying locally grown food.

Quotes From The Texts

“Our job, it emerges in fragments throughout the day, is to keep ladies’ wear ‘shoppable’.”- Nickel and Dimed
“We might argue that jeans have two main social foci, those of youth and the blue-collar or working class, but these foci should be seen as semiotic rather than sociological, that is, as centers of meaning rather than as social categories”-The Jeaning of America
“Of course jeans are a supremely functional garment, comfortable, tough, sometimes cheap, and requiring ‘low maintenance’-but so, too are army fatigues.”- The Jeaning of America
