.22 Ammo at Walmart Hidden

[Speedo66]

I called several Walmarts looking for bulk pack .22 ammo, all said none. Same for cheap 9mm.

Called one last place and got someone who wasn't the guy assigned there, he on his own checked the shelves, but then went into the back.

Lo and behold, he says there's some on the shelves in the back.

Can you hold some for me? No. OK, I'll be right down there.

Go there and try and find this guy who usually works somewhere else in the store, luckily I had asked for his name.

Check my self, nothing on the shelves. Find the guy, and he says he must find a manager, only they have the key for the ammo cage.

How many do I want? Store policy was max of 6 items, OK I'll take 6 bulk packs, Federal 36g. HPs, 550 in a pack for $15+ each.

I have a feeling if I hadn't found or talked to the non-regular guy there, I wouldn't have gotten any.

Why hidden in the back if it's a hot selling item?

the longer they hold it the more they can charge... even walmart is looking to make the extra buck...

First come first serve, lazy stock guys, alot of speculation could go into a situation involving walmart.

Probably to keep people coming back to the store over & over. I was in Wal-Mart a couple months ago around midnight and saw some Federal .22 bulk packs on the shelf. Noone manning the ammo counter so I left them. I'm kicking myself now for not hunting down a clerk. Haven't seen any since.

Can we stop talking about freaking WalMart, for crying out loud?
