    After extensive last minute digging, I finally found a manager who trusted me enough to supply me with the name of the inventory system that is used. Unfortunately for me this is all I could uncover from my employer, but it is a start. Wal-Mart uses the SMART system. Because of the way it is spelled I can only assume that it is an acronym.

Sure, that was part of it, but the story, of a young "Wally West" who had graduated from sidekick status to inherit the mantle of the Flash after his parental figure, Barry Allen had suddenly died, resonated with me.

    review for the film that “we have to trust him (Nolan) that he can lead us through, because much of the time we are lost and disoriented.” I, personally, did not feel that way.
