This current climate has been an eye opener on our level of reliance on so many other countries for goods.Walmart only had one tin of 22 pellets of any kind when I went in early this week.Crosman pellets are made in New York. Why not full shelves then?

I think that I can say without fear of rebuke that ALL of us would rejoice if Walmart walked up its own ventral orifice and disappeared!

Not me!I love Walmart.Walmart is my first choice for buying.Prices are good.Returns can be done at the store, no postage.I once used those same arguments to defend shopping there. But I got burned by poor quality products, crummy customer service, and indifferent management. I decided that if I had to drive 30 miles to town in the first place I'd get my provisions from people that had enough sense to act like they wanted my business. I'm certain that mine is an isolated experience characteristic of the truly backwards nature of the bucolic little community in which I reside.
When wlamart came in we lost many of the ma & pa shops to it. The locals screamed about, but they obviously were part of the problem.I will say though, our little grocery market is not only thriving, they have expanded and needed to put on an addition. They only sell locally sourced produce and meats when available, and are second to none.They are also the only store around that sells Boars Head. The ONLY deli meat i'll eat.

Times are a changing, and you have to be able to evolve for a chance at survival.For the past 20 years or so, Walmart has been deemed the "evil empire" of retail, but now Amazon has claim that throne. There will always be those, that despise those at the top.
I raised this question some time ago. There are some 5 WALMARTS within 40 miles of me in different directions and they've been out of CPHP's for weeks. Ain't none of 'em got any pistol boolits either.
Walmart serves a purpose for Betty Lou and I. There are things that we buy there.

My local Walmarts did not show any inventories of Crosman pellets, I was directed to neighboring citys 30 miles south of me. I picked up the last 4 tins they had of Crosman .22 Cal. Premier HP's at the first stop.The lady who opened the case mentioned an unadvertised sale on a "Barra 1866 Cowboy Series Lever Action" pellet rifle for $15... last one!!! Goes without saying... I snatched it up!!!I stopped at another neighboring Walmart which claimed to have 5 tins of the Crosman .22 Cal. Premier HP's... turns out they weren't in stock.I had my dad 90 miles to the east of me hit up the Walmart in his neighboring town... he was able to latch on to another 6 tins of the Crosman .22 Cal. Premier HP's for me.On the way home, I decided to stop into my local Walmart which had claimed '0' inventory... I found 6 tins in the locked case. Added these to my stash!!!Netted 8,000 rounds in total... I think I'll be good for awhile...
