Moving Fully Stocked Shelves @ the Walmart Supercenter in Jerome, Idaho

I walked around the Walmart Supercenter in Jerome to stretch my legs before selecting the vegetables needed for my Pasta Sauce.  

That's when I started to notice some interesting things...

A small display is ready

to be moved.

Something is happening

here...

Another small display sits

 in an aisle in the

 Electronics Department.

Wheels are placed along 

the sides of fully laden

store shelves.

My hunch is that each 

one is some sort of a

hand jack.

An employee brings out other

wheeled devices

Other shelves are set up

with jacks that have

handles.

A Walmart employee tells me that shelves are being moved before the tile on the floor is removed.  The new surface will be polished concrete.  A third-party business is doing this specialized work.

I lurk around for ten minutes and then walk over to Housewares.

When I return the shelves

have been moved.

Paying an outside company to

move full shelves probably

costs a lot less than the man

hours spent emptying the

shelves, boxing up merchandise,

moving the merchandise & shelves

a few feet away from the original

position.

My visit to Walmart turned out to be more interesting than I ever could have imagined.
