Bad encounter at WalMart

[John778]

It doesn't happen to me, but only because I have the good sense not to shop at Wally World!!!

Ditto, I have had enough of dealing with them....

^ "Dealing with them"? What are you doing? Asking for installation advice? You go in, you put items in your cart, you pay you leave. It's not a really involved process.

Well, it shouldn't be

...if you could find someone willing and able to unlock the items you'd like to put in your cart

...and if you could find someone ready and willing to take your money.

The "dealing with" is typically the waits associated with these two steps in what should be a simple process.

Oh.. so things I have really never had an issue with. Got it.

I suspect that you either have an exceptional staff at your local Wal-Mart or you've never tried to buy ammo there during off-peak hours.

I frequent 3 different ones in vastly different secrtions of the city..... they have all 3 been fine. But then again, I don't go in with unrealistic expectations.

I have never seen a gun shop sell the same brand/type of ammo that Wal-Mart has for even close to the same price. I'm talking $3-4 more for a box of 50.

Even funnier are the gun stores buying ammo at walmart, then taking them back to the store and jacking up the price.

I'd like to expect the same thing you do:

...You go in, you put items in your cart, you pay you leave. It's not a really involved process.

But that's just not the standard I've seen or heard of outside of your 3 Wal-Marts in Brownswhitanon.

Be sure to check the round count in the 9mm WWB 100"s I've been shorted several times at the Muncie North Store. The count as you know usually runs around 100 to 102 rounds. I've gone home with 98 and 99. Maybe sticky fingers in the stock room? So now I count them before I pay for them. I've even picked up empty boxes of Blazer 9's at the Muncie Rural King. The employees have been really good to me

You seriously count your rounds before you leave the store? Over two rounds?

I've been buying bulk ammo from many different vendors for quite some time.

Last batch I bought was weighed on a scale with the statement "it's probably a bit over. Have fun shooting"

Two rounds 50 cents, ten boxes 1 free box. What ever turns your crank.

Last time I bought ammo from Walmart, I got home to a box with a few missing rounds, and the others looked like trash.

I took it back, they said they didn't accept ammo returns.

I didn't leave without a new box of ammo.

This reason is why I ALWAYS open the box as soon as I get it in my hands to make sure it is full. I do this in front of the associate, and it has saved me from one instance where I would have been pissed for getting shorted.
