Would you eat sushi at Wal-Mart?
One way WM is trying to boost its recent lackluster performance is to go upscale. Will it work?
- Wal-Mart Stores has overcome its rural roots and downscale image to attract affluent shoppers in places like suburban Dallas.
But executives admit many of those well-heeled consumers come only for cheap groceries and steer clear of the other merchandise.
The nation's largest retailer is opening a new store tomorrow -- in Plano -- with an expanded selection of high-end electronics.
The store also will feature more fine jewelry, hundreds of types of wine ranging up to 500 dollars per bottle -- and even a sushi bar.
Arkansas-based Wal-Mart says it won't duplicate this format anywhere else.

I feel like a complete blank, but I don't care. Pfft. I've pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning.

I haven't been up to much these days. Today was a loss. Nothing seems important. I've just been letting everything happen without me these days.

My life's been basically bland today. More or less nothing seems worth thinking about. My mind is like an empty room. I've more or less been doing nothing to speak of. Not much on my mind recently.

I haven't been up to anything today. I don't care. I've just been staying at home not getting anything done. Basically not much happening right now. Maybe tomorrow. I guess it doesn't bother me.

Basically nothing noteworthy happening right now, but eh. Today was a complete loss. I haven't been up to much recently. I've pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning.
