Walmart…

I needed to buy four $50 dollar gift cards for a company event with my company credit card. Safety/scammer protocols wouldn’t allow me to it in one transaction, it stopped me after two. I called the “kid” over to ask him why and he explained it all. I understand all this is to prevent people from getting scammed into buying cards to “fix their computer” or whatever the scammer is telling them they need to do. But, I wasn’t getting scammed and they were only $50 buck cards.

I told him to get me a manager.

While he was doing that, I paid for two and then started a new transaction, got the next two and paid for them. The “kid” and the manager came over and were trying to stop me… I explained to them what I was doing, I wasn’t getting scammed and there was nothing they could do to stop me from using MY credit card to make a purchase. They were really nervous and blabbing on and on about scammers but at that point that’s all they could do…

This Walmart never has ammo anymore, well, I think they do but I never see it.

Stingers can be bought directly from CCI as I write this

Would probably be surprised at how common it is for high demand - low inventory / hard to get product like ammo often is to be stashed somewhere out of sight from the general public, saved for purchase by store personnel, their family, friends, or a bonus 'kick-back' from certain customers.

Sometimes a store clerk not regularly assigned to a particular dept with no knowledge of the 'scheme' and willing to search will surprisingly find it...

Another common ploy is a store employee will 'tip-off' certain people beforehand when certain products are about to be drastically clearance priced or high demand products will be back in stock.

That’s where Neeny and Pop get the ammo for their local gun shop.

Cousin Immagene works the sporting goods counter.

+50% to feel warm and fuzzy and shop local.

You never experienced the walmart employee brickseek games they try to pull???

Their are numerous methods to overcome their " devious" game.

Me and slumlord ruined alotta walmart tiny tim xmas plans in our time.


I don't think their will ever be brickseek guns and ammo sales at wally world ever again.
For about 3 or 4 yrs running pre C19 bullschit.
We had network threads on here
Nationwide helping each other out finding SKU,s and inventory.

We all may be a buncha peckerheads individually at times.
But collectively on those brickseek threads we were helping each other out.
It got to a point when alot of us were inadvertently helping out lurkers .
Fugg them.

We took alot of stuff to pm and text also.

People still shop at wallymart??

Was at wally world earlier & checked their ammo. They had 30.06, 30.30 & some other stuff $10 more than pre covid. They had two 200 round boxes of stingers so I asked the woman employee what the price was. She scanned it & said it wouldn't come up. I told her to get a manager and figure out a price because I wanted a box she said they were recalled & I couldn't purchase Anyone know of a recall I couldn't find anything about one

I ran into this several months ago. If she would have had enough sense to break the 4 pack and scan them individually, they would have been in the system. I tried to buy all 4 boxes but 2 was all she would sell me. That's a shipping pack, not labeled for resale as such.

This is the campfire in a nutshell. Here is the actual explanation of what happened. Ask yourself, Self, have I ever seen a 200 round package of CCI Stingers? No, Self, you have not. Yet many of you come up with a Walmart ammo cabal to keep it from getting to the public. Which is more likely, the cabal thingy or Walmart employee incompetence?

Lower prices for ammo in counties with greater restrictions and fewer shooters suggests that current situation in USA is caused by stupid people that buy ammo they do not need at higher prices. I see no reason to sell something for 12 when I can sell same item easily for 18. To sell for lower price would indicate stupidity.

I keep stingers in my pocket gut gun.

But for squirrel hunting...they are squirrelly.
