The only times I've seen anyone cleaning a floor at the Walmarts I've
been to is when there's been a spill/breakage, and then they cordon
off that entire area... otherwise the floors are cleaned and buffed
while the stores are closed to shoppers... it's the same at other
retailers. I've never seen anyone going up and down the aisles
pushing a broom. I don't see litter on the floors either, maybe where
Julie lives shoppers are slobs. Here the Walmarts have a large
vestibule at the entrances (where there's also a large alcove off to
the side for the carts), all set up during inclement weather with
absorbant mats so that by the time they traverse that distance and
walk through the next set of doors leading into the store proper their
shoes are clean/dry... here most every store does similar, winters
here are messy with all the sand and salt. Even at people's home guest
know not to enter through the front door, most everyone has an
attached garage or some sort of mudroom at a back door where they
leave their nasty shoes and put on slippers, most socks... people here
in farm country don't wear shoes indoors. And workmen put heavy
plastic overboots over their work boots when they enter a home
