Wal-Mart Nixes 'Singles Shopping'

Taking a cue from Wal-Marts in Germany, the month-old program encouraged customers on Friday evenings to pick up a red bow they could place on their shopping carts as an invitation to other singles. "Flirt points" were set up in various sections of the store.

It's hard to imagine a worse place to meet someone. Methadone clinic, garbage dump, DMV, court, tire store? maybe? Of places that are full of people I don't want to meet, Wal-Mart is up there.
