    Sounds like that guy is just lazy. Back in the day if you lost someone at a department store you would just go look for them. You can cover the entirety of a Walmart in about 5min.

      Yeah, but you’re after a moving target. They can be passing an end cap while you look down the aisle. Now you’ve missed them and you’re both headed in opposite directions.

      Best strategy is to act like a hunter. Post up at a main intersection, anywhere with long sight lines, and wait. And remember to check behind your target before you take the shot!

      Yeah, I did this as a kid and still do it. Find a main path and look down each isle as you walk. You can get the whole store by walking on the main perimeters

    Couldn’t find my ex-wife in Walmart so I to customer service and asked them to call her and say her little boy was up front. Being that her little boy was with her, she knew what was up.
