WalMart Ammo

[NikePenguin]

We all know they have a three box limit and that is their right. However I was talking to a clerk a few weeks ago and he said the computer won't allow more than 3 boxes per transaction. I had no reason to question it and went on my way.

Fast forward to yesterday, I go in, select my three, pay and leave. Later at home, I check my receipt and see I was charged for 4 boxes.

A Walmart clerk rang up 4 on me on Friday but I caught it.

Bought a 150 bulk pack tonight. Counted it out and 152 was in it. Feels like victory!

Unless you are lucky enough to find 22lr or are buying birdshot, Walmart's ammo has turned into a rip off. It seems like they have slowly raised the prices, but there is plenty of ammo out there now for less money (all but .22lr, that's still hard to get).

The Walmart employees are becoming more sticklers for the enforcement of the 3 box limit. It's no secret that Walmart has been cutting jobs and hours, so they don't want to get caught violating the store policies.

Walmart sucks.

I buy Walmart ammo all the time. Just another opportunity to practice patience.
Always check my receipt.
Have had friends buy additional boxes for me but always used cash or another card.
Follow the rules and no big deal.

Today stopped by Walmart they have 3 boxes of 7.62x39 so I say can I have it
He says how many, I say what's the limit? 3, give me all you have I say,
By the way with tax came to 20 bucks a pop
Hate Walmart, when comes to ammo, still will buy toilet paper

I went to WM last night and they had some Tula 7.62x39. I bought three and had my daughter get three. I went to pay for my daughters "purchase" To have the clerk tell me that it is illegal for her to buy the ammo for me. She has to tell her the caliber, and she has to hand her the money. lol.

I said, "What???". She said it is a federal law, third party... I told her that is WM's rule about 3 boxes per person, not federal. I said she is 18, she can buy whatever I ask her to. I was going to pay with my debit card, but the cashier refused.

I went to walmart yesterday and bought 6 boxes of 5.56. I had the wife with me to abide by the "3 boxes per person rule" but the guy just rang all 6 up in one transaction and let us pay for all 6 with one card.

Apparently I have broken the law... LOL

Someone is taking their job a tad too seriously...

Went there yesterday and purchased 2 bulk packs of 12 & 20 Ga. shotgun shells. Clerk tells me he can't sell them to me; tells me I have to go through a background check first.

A couple of years back (before the current panic), myself and a rather wealthy shooting buddy were in Walmart in Valencia---he wanted to pick-up some 9mm practice ammo as we were going shooting the next day. He hands me his credit card and tells me he has to go take a leak---he wants two cases of 9 and get one for me too (!). Nice---I have a good stash of 9mm, but I'm not gonna turn down a free 1000rds. So the store clerk asks how many boxes I want---I say 60---he takes a long look at me, then grabs three cases of American Eagle 9mm and puts them in a shopping cart---done deal...
Ah, the good old days...

You have to realize I have no problem with the limits, don't like them, but it is their store.

But I just thought it was funny stating federal law prevent purchase of more than 3 boxes per person.

Rules are rules, but don't make up non existant laws, trying to justify whatever.

Sounds like you did have a problem with their limit, because you blatantly tried to end-run it.
