...layout is also smarter. "You can kind of guess where everything is going to be," says Sharon Tilotta, 73, a shopper in the West Deptford store. The pharmacy, pet foods, cosmetics and health and beauty sections are now adjacent to the groceries. In the past, groceries and these other sections were often at opposite ends of the store, which made it more difficult for someone looking to pick up some quick consumables to get in and out of Walmart. "Under Project Impact, Walmart is providing more of a full supermarket experience within its walls," says Feldman. "The biggest complaint against...
...Apparel, one of Target's traditional strengths, gets a prominent position at the center. The color palettes of the shirts and dresses are brighter and more appealing than they've been in the past.

Because these write-ins would often be overlooked by the principal, it was possible for agents to write checks to benefit themselves and clean out a principal's bank account. Now such doings will be harder to get away with. If the principal wants to grant the agent the specific power to make gifts, the principal must initial a box on the POA authorization form, and then...
