Asked what I was using my ammunition in at walmart?

[singlesix]

Guess I am too old because I have never been ask what I plan to use the ammo for.

I was asked what I planed to to use the ammo for. I knew he meant rifle or pistol, but I replied: "To shoot stuff." Then when he said nothing, I added. "Is there a better way to use it?"

He just laughed and hit one of the two options and I paid him.

The only problem I have at wal-mart is trying to find someone who has the key to the ammo case. Anymore, automotive has it. But they at least have SOME intelligence. They never ask what the use for it is. And since I'm there buying every Saturday morning, the guy there has it already out once he sees me coming.

It's your charming manner and rakish good looks, Rhino.

I think you're right! The wimminz dig me, and the old dude must have been worried I'd steal his!

 

[Hornett]

It's for an H&K G7 with the barrel shroud thing that goes up.

Want to really screw with them?

I made the unfortunate choice of trying to be convienient by bringing a 6 pack I was going to purchase to the ammo counter on my way out the door (side entrance parking, short range, but have to go through the car area to cash out). Boy, did I get every BS excuse for them not to sell me ammo, everything from state laws (made up) to Federal laws (made up by area manager) to personal refusal to sell me (on the key holder's part). Eventually, I did get the ammo I needed, but after the store manager was asked to come by and ring me up. I dont think the person who runs that department works there anymore.

For clarification, I had some clothing, the 6 pack, a bag of tortilla chips, deoderant, needed to pick up a few boxes of .22 and .38 they had in the case. Obvious the items were for sequential usage, not alltogether, but still...

Ruger PC4 carbine, HiPoint.

And the Kel-Tec Sub2000 shoots 40 S&W.

 

[U.S. Patriot]

Should have said it was for a pellet gun. I have never been asked what my ammo was for. If they are so worried they should just ask for I.D.

This is just as smart as the liquor store carding the grey haired old guy buying his weekly case of beer.

So what is the big deal? Sales Staff have to follow policy. You think the policy is stupid than stop buying ammo from Wal-Mart. People complain and complain about Wal-Mart or ChinaMart, etc, etc ... stop spending your money at this place. You can write all the letters and talk to the manager or be rude to a poor salesman, but until you stop spending and others follow nothing will change.

Very true, but yet every week, the sheep flock to the mart.

I did the same thing and brought a 30 pack of Keystone Light to the ammo counter while buying some 9mm. The guy was very nice and apologized and told me he had to ring them up separately. It was a minor inconvenience paying twice. The only time I've been asked if it's for handgun or rifle was in Michigan.

It is the law.

 

[Cat-Herder]

it's the law. vote these people out once and for all.

 

[rwstahlh]

Just another silly law and walmart rule. I always reply rifle even though I don't have one.

 

[cowboywitek]

I always have that happen to me when I get the 555 round box of winchester 22lr. I have a puma .22 revolver and a marlin .22 bolt action lr and I always tell them its for my rifle who would be stupid enough to tell them otherwise!

Some people like messing with people who are just trying to make an honest living.
