Are competitors like Amazon and a few others who offer discount prices and free delivery starting to get Wally World's attention? In the past few weeks I've notices their stores in Tennessee and Alabama are undergoing some radical floorplan changes- - - -rearranging displays, and making the aisles MUCH wider between displays. Are they also making some major adjustments in inventory, and widening the aisles to try to hide the downsizing of floor stock?

When the average customer weighs 400 pounds and is on a scooter you need wide aisles

Over the last year, WMT stocks outperformed AMZN, turning in about double the returns.

Amazon has about stopped free shipping but most things ordered through Walmart can be "shipped to store" free.
We have done that several times.

If I had to give an uneducated guess, Dollar General is inflicting the pain to Walmart. Walmart has actually made some gains on Amazon in online retail.

Amazon siphons off plenty of Walmart biz but Dollar General is Walmart's demon.
DG's stock has out preformed Walmart for years..
There are other smaller groceries and dollar stores that are successfully dipping into Walmart's pockets as well.

Having lived in AL and TN, the aisle widening has to be because of the plumpkins that inhabit both states.

This would be my guess: That's Smart: See the Tech Helping Us Serve You Betterhttps://corporate.walmart.com/newsroom/2019/01/15/top-ways-walmart-is-changing-how-customers-shop
Alphabot
This first-of-its-kind technology being installed in our Salem, New Hampshire store was designed and created especially for Walmart. By automating key pieces of the Grocery Pickup process, it helps associates prep online orders even faster by using autonomous mobile carts to deliver the items they need from storage to organize, assemble and deliver the order to the customer‘s vehicle.
Autonomous Shelf Scanner
An Autonomous Shelf Scanner scans products in a Walmart pharmacy
In 47 stores across the U.S., automated shelf scanners are giving associates more time to focus on serving their customers. They’re programmed to help identify where in-stock levels are low, prices are wrong or labels are missing – which in turn provides associates with a real-time view of store inventory, helping them quickly identify the areas of the store that need the most attention.

They just finished the floor rearranging here. Took them over a month to do it and during and after you can't find anything. Isles are blocked so you have to keep changing direction as you shop. Guess that's the plan. Longer they keep you in the store your supposed to buy more.

Wider isles may stem from all the employees using carts shopping for people to pick up outside.

I've been in Walmart 2 times in the last 6 Months... once because it is the only place that still sells hunting licenses and another time because I needed some office supplies... again only local place to buy those.... IIRC they only offer part time positions to save on payroll costs.... the employees they retained are off the charts bad..... check out lines are a bad joke.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Wider isles may stem from all the employees using carts shopping for people to pick up outside. Been hearing more and more complaints from people on the local Walmart's grocery pre-order / pickup service. Some are saying they've been having to wait as long as 20 - 30 minutes sometimes at the pickup location before their order is bought out to them now, also unfilled items and wrong items not even on their order list.
