[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 2488950, member: 10690"] WalMart in TriCity will have/has 60 bulk boxes that will hit the shelves at 7 am tomorrow. I spoke with a manager, they are bound by corporate policy to put it out at 7 bells on the morning after it arrives. I ask him how many guys there were, and he said it's the same 8-10. I asked him if he realized what they were doing, and he had no clue. He did say he would ask if they could limit the bulk packs to 1 per day, or stagger the stock times, but he didn't have much hope they would. He said the stocking times being the same was an ethics issue. I ask him if he thought what these guys were doing was ethical, and he said, "it doesn't sound like it", and then I said, "well, you're helping them do it, so if ethics is an issue with WalMart, you might want to revisit your stocking policy". He said he could see where what was going on would be a problem, and said he would visit with the corporate folks about a policy change. Said maybe they could start regulating the purchase like ephedrine until supply kept up, but he didn't know how they could implement that change. It is what it is. Again, if these guys wanna be bastards, it's a free country, they can be bastards. [/QUOTE]
