Well, I went to my local Wallyworld to buy some ammo today.
There's nothing unusual about this except, this time, I wanted to buy a case instead of two or three boxes. It comes out to be right around $6/50 rounds which is better than I can have it shipped in from over the internet and I don't have to wait for the feces colored truck to take a week or better to deliver it!!
Soooooo.
I'm standing in line.
I make my request.
Blank stare!! Apparently nobody had ever purchased that much ammo before!!
"Please go to the back and retreve me a case of the 100 round bulk pack 115gr Winchester White Box 9mm."
" Sorry, I can't do that!!!"
"WHY" says I?? "You know there is no Federal or State law that prohibits me from purchasing ammunition in bulk!!!"
"We don't sell it by the case" said the befuddled counter clerk!!!!
OOOOOOK. "If I wanted to buy, say, 10 boxes of the same ammo, would you sell it to me??"
"Of course, she said."
Then, what's the difference between what I asked for previously and this???"
"We don't sell ammo by the case!!!" :banghead:
By this time I was almost laughing to hard to be steamed!!
I said "Please give be 10 boxes."
She then got my ammo, BAGGED IT UP, took my money, and I went on my merry way!!
As long as it's NOT in a box, Wallyworld will gladly sell it!!
I finally had an existential Wal-Mart experience!!
