Officials at Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., ordered their Roanoke store to put an end to Singles Shopping, the only program of its kind at Wal-Mart's U.S. stores.
Taking a cue from Wal-Marts in Germany, the month-old program encouraged customers on Friday evenings to pick up a red bow they could place on their shopping carts as an invitation to other singles. "Flirt points" were set up in various sections of the store.

This stuns us. Think of the possibilities: The flirt points could be set up near the condoms. Return dates could be established at a bridal registry. Weddings could be held at the "Wal You In Chapel," complete with a non-denom minister (or licensed marriage performer, your choice).
Wal-Mart has turned down the chance of expanding into another area. It's hot in the Midwest, but it's freezing some place else.
