NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Just when you thought you'd heard it all from the king of discount shopping, Wal-Mart is now pitching itself as the new dating hot spot -- with everyday low prices to boot.

In fact, the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer's been playing Cupid to hundreds of lonely single German shoppers for well over a year now.

According to Amy Wyatt, spokeswoman for the retailer's international operations, Wal-Mart's been running its "Singles Shopping" campaign in all of its 91 stores in Germany.

Here's how its works.

On Friday nights, singles looking for romance, mindless flirting or just a new friend head over to their neighborhood Wal-Mart where they're given a big bright red bow to attach to their shopping cart or shopping basket.

Then it's up to the willing participants to approach one another and take it from there.

But if that's too intimidating, Wal-Mart has set up "flirting points" around the stores stacked with "romantic" merchandise, such as chocolates, wine and cheese, to help with that first awkward step.

They should really try to sell that angle

Let's party

35. Yes, you are a piece of meat.
I nominate Mr. Scorpio for Official Lounge Beefcake.

To hell with the red bow. A discount would be better.

I never liked to go to Wal-Mart, because I always had to dodge psycho ex-girlfriends that always seemed to be there.

Walmart probably told them you were there and "available".

this gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "CLEANUP ON AISLE THREE!"

to meet the local TPT!

Romance must equal consumerism.
Witty repar-tay and chivalry are gone. You shall meet mate #08732043872 on aisle 5 along with your electronics needs.

:rofl:

Actually, it's a nice idea to have this matchmaking thing.

Won't happen in the US, becuz we're a Christian nation. :eyes:
