A tale of two Walmarts

[W L Johnson]

Well.. Walked into a walmart last night and no ammo Later drove down the road to another one not too far away and ammo ammo ammo YA! But, yes their is a but.. a little sign on the ammo case "Limit 2 boxes per day" :banghead: Oh well, but at least I grabbed two boxes of 9mm. Going back today.

Take a friend with a pocket full of your money.

How do they know how many boxes you purchase per day?

Are you having to sign for it?

Just go in morning, noon, and night. They may not catch on, especially if you hit different workers on different shifts. Besides the workers may no care. But why does Walmart care if there is ammo left for other people? Why don't they want to just sell product?

I'm not sure, maybe they just trust the memory of the guy behind the counter. Maybe just wait for a shift change

Are you having to sign for it?

Nope, not with the guy there last night, but he didn't seem to know what he was doing.

Still no 380 tho.

You'd probably be able to walk to a till with as much ammo as you want and buy it two at a time. I'll bet they don't even care.

Hmmm, sounds like Capitalism....business doing what they think is the right thing to do. If people don't like it, they can go elsewhere. Glad to see that someone is doing something for those who are possibly new to shooting, and those who are not the "die hard" among us.

I went in one today also, in another town where I was working. No ammo.

Went to a little gunshop, ammo galore, some fairly priced, some a bit high.

Needless to say I picked up 5 boxes of 9mm.

By now I think we all know there's a nationwide shortage of ammunition at our local Walmart stores.

The archives are full of discussions about it.
