Um, why?

I'm not sure if this was a good idea or not:
For 41 hours, [aspiring writer and Drake University sophomore Sklyer] Bartels wandered the aisles of a Wal-Mart Supercenter in Windsor Heights that's open 24 hours a day. He checked out shoppers, read magazines, watched movies on the DVD display and played video games.

Tiring to the point of hallucinating, Bartels said he decided to go home before he was thrown out.

Wal-Mart spokesman Kevin Thornton said Bartels neither violated store policy nor broke the law.

My guess is that Wal-Mart probably didn't want to say that...because I think they just set a president for all sort of other people to come hang out at Wal-marts. If you don't think that place is crappy enough, imagine it with 15 homeless people sleeping in the women's clothing department, urinating behind the sporting goods desk.
