Wal-Mart Nixes 'Singles Shopping' At Va. Store
ROANOKE, Va. -- Those going to a Wal-Mart in Roanoke, Va., will have to limit their shopping to what's on the shelves.
The company announced it's ditching the store's program that helped single shoppers find love in the aisles.
The month-old Singles Shopping program let customers place a red bow on their shopping carts as an invitation to other singles.
There are similar programs in Wal-Marts in Germany, but the one in Roanoke is the only known one in the United States.
The company didn't explain why it's dropping the program.
One customer said he's disappointed, asking: "Where can someone over 40 who doesn't smoke or drink or go to bars meet someone?"
