"There seems to be a strange force pulling us from each other and away from our own humanity."
I have noticed the same sort of thing when I've spent mere minutes in Wal Mart. Anthony spends a pretty decent amount of time talking about this feeling right at the beginning of his essay, but it's a theme that would do well carried out throughout the entirety of the essay. I think the essay concentrates too heavily on the narrator's negative reactions to a particular group of patrons of the store--almost painting them in a "freak show" type of light. But I think drawing on the theme this quotation reveals would help to put the narration into perspective. It would help to show that not only one group of people seems strange and greedy, but rather that everyone seems to pull away from humanity.
