Wal-mart Population Estimates

[Chancie]

I hope it's alright that I'm posting this. I need some help, and I figured I'd get quite a few replies here. If I'm in the wrong, I apologize.

I'm doing a study for my Statistics class and I need more data. So, all I need is for you to answer two questions for me:

Do you think more or less than 5000 people go into a Wal-mart on the average day? What is your estimate of people that go in (number)?

Just think of your local Wal-mart and answer. Even if you have no idea, your answer will still help me. Thanks, guys!

EDIT: Please note that I only mean ONE Wal-mart, not all Wal-marts worldwide.

5000? when was the last time you left your house?

One Wal-Mart in particular, or worldwide? Because I assure you, the worldwide is more like 3 million or higher.

 

[Chancie]

Oh, no. Just the single average Wal-mart.

 

[Warrior Irme]

I would say the one in my general area probably gets near that on a weekend. Not sure about the week though.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Does this include outside of America?
Because I'm pretty sure only about two to four thousand people a day go into your average Asda*.

[Da Joz]

Less than 5000 for the wal-mart in my area. This is mainly due to the fact that I am from a low population area.

 

[toapat]

local? you are literally asking an unanswerable question: reasons:

seasonal changes in people going out
location
population density
accessibility

 

[Chancie]

Yeah, I can include outside of America too. ^_^ Same concept so I can still use the data.

Population doesn't matter. I'm basically asking about the area around YOU and what you'd say for the store closest to you.

 

[A Weary Exile]

More than 5,000 even though I live in a small town.

[small]Be prepared for some 'IT'S OVER 5000!!!' jokes, I'm sure they'll be here soon.[/small]

Well...I think you're looking into it a little too hard. I mean on the average day, any day of the season (pick a season to base your answer on, basically), in whatever area you're in with however many people there are.
I don't mean for there to be so many variables to it...

20,000 in a city of 200,000, thats per day too. This should help you.

My Wal-Mart is a particularly high volume store, and it's 24 hours, so I'd say a lot more than that. There's usually 15-18 cashiers working without any breaks in the lines during the busier times and then also considering 8 self-check outs and then cashiers in other departments... I wouldn't be surprised if it was 8 or 10k.

 

[twistedmic]

I'd say a little more than 5k per day.And now for a question of my own- How many of these customers are mouth-breathing, inbreed dumb-asses?

 

[Chancie]

I know, I know. I never said Wal-mart was the best of places but like I said, this is for a class. It's not like I actually care. xD

And thanks to everyone that's answered so far! Keep 'em coming. I need to get to at least 25 and I have 17 so far.

 

[Starnerf]

I know when I worked a supermarket (not walmart, just food) we got around 3000 customers a day in a small town. SO I figure 5000 is probably around what the walmart (a supercenter) across the street did.

 

[Chancie]

Sweet! Ok, I only need 4 more people to answer and then I'm good to go.

 

[Anarchy In Detroit]

Eh thousands to be sure. That also varies according to the population of the area and the amount of traffic passing by the store. I don't go to Wal Mart though. Fuck them.

I'd say a little more than 5k per day.And now for a question of my own- How many of these customers are mouth-breathing, inbreed dumb-asses?

Half of them are mouth-breathing, inbreed dumb-asses. The other half are guilty of having their head up their ass. They are all socially irresponsible.

 

[Chicago Ted]

I'd think it'd be around 5k a day. I don't work there or anything mind you so this is pure speculation.

You guys are awesome. Thank you so much!
