yeah, what the hell is wrong with you? i go in on my lunch break and it takes 15 (or 20) min to get someone over to help? yeah thats a long time!
Maybe i value my time more.....?
and dont act like you wouldnt be tapping you toe.

you guys scare me. If there is real crisis it shows how people will revert to a more primitive time. Maybe the best time to buy your ammo isnt on your lunch break, maybe you should worry about eating since you have trouble getting everything done on your lunch break. This arguement can used for the post office, drug store, and for some of you the microwave. all of these things are people doing tasks, humans not robotics. The "ammo" guy at walmart with the key isn't just sitting waiting for you. If crisis happens i hope you guys stay home. If i am stuck waiting on the "ammo key master" i dont tap my toe and act like a jerk I leave, if i run out of free time to buy ammo I will go back another time. If this is my problem for the day I am doing great in my book.

Exactly.



Funny............... Folks ain't got time to wait to save a few bucks, but they got all day to sit at the keyboard and whine about it.

None of the local Wal-Marts here carry the cheap Russian ammo. In fact, they carry very little ammo at all, and only in the most common calibres. They don't sell any guns, either, except a few black powder rifles and paintball guns. That's why I'm happy to patronize the new Gander Mountain store that opened at the Outlet Mall. I can just push my shopping cart down the ammo aisles and load it up off the shelves. Prices are cheaper than Wal-Mart, too.

My worst Walmart experience was not with ammo but with tropical fish. Like the "ammo guy/girl", the "fish guy/girl" is a highly trained and skilled individual. Although the elusive key is not involved, apparently the expertise required to scoop and bag a fish is reserved only for those with "the right stuff".

After being nagged by a six-year-old, flagging down several employees who assured me they did NOT posses "the right stuff" and a couple of trips to the service desk, I called the store from my cell-phone.

I asked for the manager and discovered there are several managers. Anyway, after talking to the manager of that section, the fish-girl was there pretty quick.

Normally I'm pretty polite and patient, but that experience took the better part of an hour...and with a six-year-old felt like two.

I realy don't want to sound too weird, but I would not purchase a cap for a cap gun at Wallmart, let alone ammo. I try to purchase my ammo at my favorite gun shop as well as reloading components. We have to keep these guys in bussiness. I also purchase at Midway because of their great service, and support of the NRA.

When you factor in sales tax, online comes out a better deal even with shipping.

I bought my first gun in early 2009 without realizing it was the height of The Obama Panic. I just started seeing ammo in Walmart around late fall of 09 (and that was intermittent, had to swing by different Walmarts several times and hope to get lucky).

I'm still pysched about the fact that I can walk into pretty much any Walmart around here and find 550 packs of 22LR now. I can be there getting motor oil and swing by sporting goods since it's right there and pick up a pack just because I'm starting to get a tad low. When I first got that 22 rifle I had to go to multiple stores looking for ammo, hope to get lucky, and I was paying more.

If you don't like Walmart, that's your deal. I'm buying the exact same oil and filter there I'd get at Schucks/O'Reilly and the exact same 22LR I'd get at the local gun store, but I'm getting them right next to each other in one stop and for less money.
