In Las Vegas, there are a couple of cold places that I know of. the 32 Degree Bar in one of the Strip hotel's and then there is the Wal-Mart I work at.
Right now, we have the air conditioning set at full blast, with the store temperature at about 60 degrees and colder in some places. To keep warm, I wear a sweatshirt, a t-shirt and a regular shirt, which is embarrassing since I am from Wisconsin.
If you didn't know it, but the Wal-Mart stores have little to do with their store temperatures. The thermostat is controlled down in Arkansas, where the headquarters of Wal-Mart is located.
Further, if a store leaves it's freezer or cooler doors open too long, the Home Office knows about it and they call the store to let them know. The same thing with the coolers and freezers, if there is a problem, an alarm rings in Arkansas and the let us know.
But if you ever get into grocery store management, let me tell you, it makes a difference what the store temperature is. Right now, we have customers who get in and get out quickly and they don't do their whole shopping.
And if you think we sell a lot of ice when it is cold in the sore, think again, buckaroo. People don't think of buy a lot of cold items when it is cold inside.
So, if you want to cool off, come to the Wal-Mart store at Stephanie and
American Pacific, across from the DMV, and you will freeze your butt off, like I do, up to 8 hours a day.
