Has anyone tried to see if there local wally world would order and sell them a case of WWB value packs or a case of any target ammo? I was going to try at my wally world but wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with this. Even if they didn't offer a case price it is still cheaper than most other places out there at there per box price..

They can do it, but you don't get a bulk discount. You also have to find an employee that isn't worthless and lazy that is willing to do it. If you go to the Walmart on 5600 West and 6200 South in West Valley, Utah, don't expect Otto to do it. He's as ****ty as they come. I was pissed off when I saw he was transferred over from the old Wal-Mart I used to go to.

(I needed to buy a knife as a Father's Day gift, but they had it locked up behind the counter. Otto wouldn't let me take it with me and continue my other shopping. Company Policy, he claimed. So I rounded up the rest of my groceries, took it back to the Sporting Goods counter, and made him ring it all up and bag it. I was at the old Walmart the other day, and they had the same knife on a display rack, open to the public.

I have a paint mixing story too, if anyone is interested...)

I'd compare prices to someone like Ammoman that offers free shipping if you order over a certain amount, and doesn't charge you sales tax.

We went to Wally World to get my wife ammo for her XD9 and they woud not give us a case discount so I told them I would like 10 individual boxes. The old guy at he counter thought I was kidding, I wasnt, the wife and I had a nice chuckle as we had him ring up the rest of our items as well.

I had Otto bagging frozen foods, meat, everything. When I went looking for him to get the knife the first time, he was hunched over the handle of a shopping cart, trolling the lanes, doing nothing. I also made him show me a few different boxes of ammo before deciding on one...

OK, here's the paint story:

My wife bought some paint, but didn't buy enough. I run over to get more, and he's the only one there professional enough to handle a Glock 40, I mean the paint mixing equipment. Only problem is, nobody can find him. They page him for 20 minutes, and it turns out he was watching TV in the electronics department, oblivious to the pages coming over the speaker system.
