Did the WallyWorld Walk yesterday, They had some ammo, but nothing in the calabers I need

fessXD · 07-02-2009, 07:46 AM

Went yesterday 7am before work. They had 2 boxes of 9mm, 1 box of 40 and zero 45. Only had a few boxes of 22 but it was the matched stuff ($10.00 for 50rds! no thank you.) They also had 2 boxes of 17hmr which I purchased with the 2 boxes of 9mm. I am getting sick of this ammo crap, think I will just stick to buying online.

I'm pretty much to the point that I wouldn't give a flying fudge if Walmart stopped selling ammo considering I haven't seen any at my Walmarts for 6+ months now. The dickheads at the counter are starting to act like you are bothering them whenever you walk by their area to look for ammo.

I guess I'll try to stop in before work once or twice next week and pretty much give up after that.

Evidently some have a limit, some don't. A couple of weeks ago I bought two 100-round boxes of Winchester 9mm, and my fiancee bought one. The guy told us he couldn't sell all three boxes to one person. So, total of 200 rounds to each customer.

Last week, I bought SIX boxes of Blazer Brass at another Wal-Mart, for a total of 300 rounds. Go figger.

Scored today:

Wal-Mart - Sheboygan, WI - They had 4 x WWB (100 rounds FMJ / $29.97), and 2 x WWB (50 Rounds JHP / $28.97) in the glass case.

Not being selfish, I bought 2 boxes FMJ, 1 Box JHP. I was surprised - have not seen the 100 round boxes for quite some time. The best part - they were NOT LOCKED UP, so I didn't have to find the "Wal-diot" to find the key (if someone didn't take it home with them).

ETA: See my "adventures in ammo" below.

it's starting to get better. I found some last Sunday when we went to wally-world grocery shopping. First time I had found it there since March.

I was getting sick of the service too.

First Example: I went to Wal-Mart in Sturgeon Bay, WI. I look at their ammo case - I see 1 Box of 50 FMJ rounds of Federal .45 ACP. I ring the bell, some guy comes around "Can I help you?"

I said "Yes, I want to buy some ammo."

"OK, I don't have the key, let me go get someone." He replies.

So I wait, and I wait, and I WAIT. 5 or 6 minutes go by. Angie comes up to me and says "Sorry, Sarah went to lunch, and she has the key".

"Oh, " I say, "don't you think it would have been a good idea if she'd have left the keys here?"

"Yes, that is what she's supposed to do."

"I see, and when does Sarah get back from lunch?"

"Oh about Noon."

I look at my watch, and it's 5 after 11. "Oh well, I can't wait an hour." I said and walked away. I had an appointment to go to.

Second Example: Rockford, IL (Ok I get around a LOT). I stop in to Wal-Mart and get a snack. It's 6:30am, and I figure if they've gotten a shipment in over night, it should be on the shelf and I'll get first dibs. Sure enough, locked in the glass cabinet, they had 5 boxes of .45 FMJ Blazer 50 rounds, and several of the 100 round value packs of .223 for like $49? BINGO!

I look around - there is NO ONE! About 3 minutes later I finally I see a lady stocking a shelf, I say - "Can I get some help by the ammo?"

She replies "Sure, let me get someone". Then, she CONTINUES STOCKING THE SHELF. And I'm thinking "WTF? Why don't you find someone, then you can go back to stocking the shelves. I'm not here to watch you work." About 2 minutes later, she says "Come on" and walks over to the ammo with me. I'm thinking "Great, a couple minutes and I'll be on my way".

"OK I'll be right back", she says. About 4 minutes later, she passes by saying that a manager will be here soon. 12-15 minutes later (I kid you not), a "manager" shows up, and he has a key that opens a white cabinet on the wall, which contains MORE keys". He pokes around in there for a minute or two, apparently not finding the ammo key. He gets on the radio and calls to another "manager". 5-6 more minutes pass and the second manager shows up.
Manager 1: "Do you know where the ammo keys are?"
Manager 2: "No, aren't they in the cabinet?"
Manager 1: "No, I checked."
Manager 2 pokes through the cabinet for a minute. Then looks in the till. He confers with Manager 1, and they decide that Bob must have taken the keys home with him.
Manager 2: "We think Bob took the keys home with him. He's supposed to leave them locked in the cabinet, and there's supposed to be a spare in the drawer of the register"
I say, "Well, can you call Bob over here? I need to get moving soon." I had to get to Memphis.
Manager 2: "Bob's not here yet, he doesn't get in until 8am."

The instant he finished his sentence, I was headed to the door. I Didn't say a word, or look back. If they didn't see steam coming out my ears by now, they were blind. Between walking in and walking out, 32 minutes of my life that I can never get back.

On the way out, I was thinking of going into the hardware dept, buying a hammer and inventing my own "key".

I stop at my WW everyday, One day last week I was actually able to find someone at the counter, he looked up and asked if I could be helped. I asked the young professional if he could check his list and tell me when ammo was coming in. The young professional asked what I wanted and I told him 45 and 9 mm (a trade I was going to make for some 45s) and from across the counter I heard a hearty belly laugh so I look up and with a frown and a pout on my face like that of a 4 yr old I told him "STOP! its NOTfunny!' We both had another laugh and he was lucky enough to walk out with 4 boxes of .223. Looks like I got the right gun at the worst time! When is it going to end?!?!? Glad you got some ammo finally!
