Bedford Wal Mart selling guns (follow up)

[Hornett]

Well I went in to our Bedford Wal Mart.
They do have guns in stock now.
About the same kind of guns they had before.
A pink cricket, a cheap 22 auto or two, a Ruger 10/22, and a decent selection of lower cost shotguns.
One of the sporting goods associates was close by stocking some shelves and
This is one of the guys that I talk to often when I buy ammo and he always seemed to be very friendly and up front about things.
He is the one that told me when and how often the trucks come when ammo was so hard to find.
Anyway...
I said. "Hey, I see you guy got guns back in stock."
He said, "I don't even want to talk about it"
I said something like "You really don't like it that much?"
He just frowned and grumbled something like "I'm not happy about it" and walked away so he wouldn't have to talk to me anymore.

So, It's true. (not that I doubted) The associates really do hate guns being back in stock.
What has Wal Mart done to make the associates despise selling guns so much?
This needs further INGO research...

The only time I didn't like having guns in the stores I was in would be when customers would want me to pull out every single gun in the case. After showing every gun they would say they were just looking and checking prices. Also, some management did not like checking the forms and walking out the guns so they would delay going to the department making the associate selling the gun upset. I love having guns in the stores and am disappointed they did not put them back in the store I am currently in.

I am guessing he doesn't like the paperwork that has to be done, and the probability that he will get his head handed to him if he doesn't dot every "I" and cross every "T".

i was in there 2 weeks ago and the gun case was there but empty......the guy behind the counter said there FFL hadn't been transfered yet from the old store on 16th street.....they had all the guns in the back just couldn't display them yet.....did seem to bother him at all...

I bought a crickett the other day and the associate helping me told me that since they were the only store in the region that didnt stop selling guns that they constantly kept getting calls from other stores asking them what the process was.
On another note I dont care for their new process for filling out the 4473's. You have to fill out all the info on a computer then they print it out. A waste of time in my opinion. Id prefer to just write it out by hand.
