    My favorite part is how you can't tell what time it is because it is perpetually bright in there.

    Indeed, the sun never sets in Wal-Mart...

    This isn't the full 24 hours, I'm seeing people stand at checkouts for way too long for this to be the full 24.

    They had slow cashiers?

    No, it's obviously not the full 24 hours. The video is segments of a 24-hour period. You can see abrupt transitions throughout the video (ex. 00:33 mark, transitioning from 11:25pm to 2:02am)

    Like most Wal-Marts, this one has daylighting to reduce utility bills (you can see the glow in the ceiling as the video enters daylight hours). They use daylight harvesting sensors to dim the fluorescent lights when possible.

    Cool piece, though I could've done without the blippy sound design

    amazing how one gets glued to watching this, as if it is really interesting, the thoughts one has, about the nature of commerce and business ....

    Not like the walmart stores we got, they only have 2 registers open and the lines are always back in the clothes section. Why I try to avoid going there now.

    Petre, you are actually wrong, the longest stay was about 1.5 secs, and it's like 15 mins in real time.
