I think Whitman Mayo (white bearded friend Grady) was even younger, maybe 40 when the pilot aired. I’ll be damned if I’m checking tho.

They have emergency exits all over, they're just behind the fake walls. And since there are employees everywhere, they'll probably help you find the exit. I worry more about fires in Walmart. The employees there won't help with shit.
