The Plot Thickens (or Thins Out)
QuickTip: A short pause boosts comprehension.
We all know Walmart is kind of a retail titan, sprawling across the nation like a friendly (or not-so-friendly, depending on your perspective) shopping behemoth.

Conspiracy Theories? We Got Those

After all, who needs bulk paper towels when you can have a handcrafted artisanal basket, right? (Just kidding, paper towels are important.)
