I was at one of my local Walmarts today [View all]

They are being very DEI, whether they call it that or not. Our cashier was an Arab guy on a walker (he was sitting on it behind the register). The woman waiting to change out his cash box was an Asian woman walking with a cane. I noticed a couple of Hispanic ones as well, and lots of other employees of various racial and ethnic varieties (our small city is pretty ethnically diverse). Nobody complained and everyone got along.
