I went to a local Wally-world to pick up a 10/22 tonight and still don't have one.
I got there at 8:45PM. They have a sign saying that gun sales are from 8AM to 10PM.
The "camo-crew" got there before me and took 20 minutes and 3 tries to fill out the paperwork to buy a $200 shotgun. I waited in the immediate area and was obviously looking at the guns. By obviously, I mean leaning over the counter and looking at the tags.
It was finally my turn at 9:07 and I asked about the 10/22 and the clerk said they have another model too but it was out of stock. Then he said it was too late to buy a gun. I asked about the 10PM cutoff and he said they don't sell after 9 because of the paperwork...paperwork that I just saw takes 20 minutes for 3 rednecks to hunt-n-peck their way through 3 times.
The clerk helpfully suggested that I could come back by first thing in the morning. That is also what the member of management suggested when I saw her at the doors. She had just finished walking the camo-crew out with their shotgun. She had also been at the counter twice while I was waiting.
Neither the clerk nor the manager asked if they could help me while I waited.
I didn't know about the 10PM cutoff before I went but I was there 1 1/4 hours before the limit and then I get told "not tonight" a full 45 minutes before the cutoff. I hate Walmart.
I've already sent a complaint to the store but I had enough bile left to come and whine to you lucky folks.
BTW, I saw a Mossberg pump while I waited. I was gonna buy that too. That store lost out on a $434 sale tonight. I let them know that in my complaint too...not that I'll ever hear anything back.
