it actually could work for Walmart in the capitalism sense. here's how i see it:
I don't go to Walmart anymore for ammo. period. it's never there. my wife and i stopped yesterday for some groceries and i swung by the ammo counter just for the heck of it. the gun guy tells me 10 guys stood in line this morning when ammo showed up....10 boxes of 550 rds of .22LR. first three guys in line all bought the max of 3 boxes, guy number 4 gets 1 box, and the rest get nothing.
so, if Walmart varied the times, people like myself might actually go looking for ammo with improved chances of finding it. and while i'm there i'd probably pick up a few other things. it may draw in more people through the door because of the improved probability. that makes good business sense to me.
lastly, the gun guy said the guys who bought the ammo are reselling it......the madness continues.
