The odd thing is that not all WalMarts were created equal. The one closer to here isn't that bad. Maybe because it's a nice neighbourhood. We don't see that many WalMartians.
 
But a couple of weeks ago we had to drop by to a different one because it was late night and our our usual one isn't 24h - it was darn creepy, and the people there... Man, it was like landing in a zombie apocalypse movie. 

Therein lies the answer. Whole different crowd after midnight.

one of them I wouldn't go there at night without an armed escort.

You've gone places with one that has no arms before?  What kind of escort service are you using???! 

Armless Midget Escorts - R - Us of course.
 
Duh.

Just so you know, they don't really have any midget nuns.  They cheat and use penguins.

I would LOVE to know how you found out they're really penguins.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Actually....   No,  I wouldn't

It wasn't the first time we went there, actually, though it had been quite a while, but it was our first visit there at night. But regardless, there's a heck of a difference between the two places - even in terms of how the place looks.
Some sections of the store almost looked as if they'd been abandoned. Even day time, you're bound to see WalMartians there - at least a few. 
 
The one where we go now really isn't that bad. WalMartians really are an exception.  
 

Though I tend to think... a Walmart not open 24hrs is also an exception, as most of them are.
 
The one farthest-North is and it has heated sidewalks to boot. Something no store has ever done here before in the land of -40F.
It's an expense deemed frivolous and counter profitable. But then Walmart can afford it.
