Early morning is no problem for me, but I had to go to Kaiser today for a screening appointment that had been postponed due the pandemic, so I took the plunge and hit Walmart afterwards at 1:30. Not the best hour by all accounts, but it turned out to be the most pleasant shopping experience I have had there in years. There was no wait to get in, it was not crowded, and most areas were well stocked. The only thing on our list that they didn't have was Siegfried the Chunkhund's cheap doggie bacon. (Their website had listed the dog treats as in stock two hours earlier, and it still shows in stock right now.) They did have the name brand in stock and for a couple dollars less than Target, so I still came out ahead. Siegfried will have to make do with his second choice a while longer, and I will go back to Walmart sooner next time, but not the first week of the month.
