I understand that prices go up, and with panic buying, they go up exponentially sometimes. But they also tend to come down to something closer to normal levels when the panic is over......maybe not all the way down to pre-panic prices, but closer to that pricing than not. But the day when 1,000 rounds for $50 is considered a good deal ($25/brick of 500) doesn't sound like a good deal to me.

I realize that in the context of today's pricing, it is a good price, but it is still overpriced by a factor of 2.5.

And remember the really good old days? Back in elementary school, I can remember buying .22 long rifle at the local store. I think it was $0.99 for a 50 round box. Nobody cared, the kids bought .22 without anybody much raising an eyebrow.

I'm fine with whatever policy they have, whatever it takes to keep them from taking any further steps......

Last week they had 1,000 round boxes of M22 for $50.

He says "we're not looking for age."
Me: "huh? So why do you need my i.d.?"
Him: "well anyone buying ammo has to show an i.d." and pointed to the camera above the cash register. "They started this a few months ago."
Me: "nevermind I don't need any ammo."
What's up with that???
Anyone here work at Walmart? Care to enlighten me?

It's cheaper and less hassle.
