Re: Walmart check-out had a question for me
Ah, thanks for the replies. I'd not even thought of that. It has never happened to me before. I was wondering if Uncle Sam (Walton) was keeping tabs.
I look older than 21. In my thirties... and look it.
Again, thanks for clarification.

Walmart check-out had a question for me
Mods, not sure where this belongs..
I do not live near a Wal-mart. I don't live near much of anything.... its how I like it.
Anyhow, I was traveling with my wife to South TX and back to visit old friends. This was ~ a 7hr drive one way.
On the way back, stopped at a Del Rio Wal-mart to pick up some range ammo if they had my calibers; it'll save shipping for a bit. They had many empty shelves behind the counter; however, I did select a value pack (100) WWB 9mm 115 gr. I also selected a value pack (100)of Remington UMC .38 special +P Semi-jacketed hollow points.
She rang them up. Halt.
Regarding the Remington .38 specials she asked " are these to be used in a handgun?" I guess her side of the robot-cash-register notified her to say that.
She almost said it for the WWB, but then corrected and said for "these", the .38specials.
I paused. I wasn't entirely sure. I really go through these with my 1894c lever-action. But, I certainly find myself scrounging for some for my revolver. I finally stumbled around and said "yes, I suppose, some of them.. blah blah." She nodded quickly hit some key, rang me up, and I was on my way to finish the last 3 hrs of a long road trip.
Have y'all been running into this in the city, or in towns, with Wal-marts?
What's the deal?
I knew that Walmart was tightening up there firearm sales after AZ tragedy..
I don't get it?
Driving off, I was wondering "wait a second, what the heck was that?"
Had it been a little earlier in the day and I had more of my wits about me I may have had a bit of a discussion with this "associate," asking what are her supervisors telling her?
Ammo purchases may start to be worth the shipping. Always.
