I was prescribed pain medication and decided to get it filled at Wal Mart because the prices are very affordable. QUOTE]
Do you know where your medicine was made?
We have experienced bad quality imported meds .
Welcome to Indiana Gunowners.
Thanks

I don't think it's worth going to WALMART to save a couple of pennies, the lines are long, & they won't let you open-carry
That's odd, I've seen folks OC at mine. Including one woman. No-one's ever been hassled that I've heard from.
Not all walmart associates are that bad. I've worked there for almost 4 years. I know the company policies, as well as the legal standpoints of carrying whether it be OC or CC. Your best bet is to call the store and ask to speak to a manager regarding the issue.
I've been to my own store, as well as several other walmart stores all while OCing and never has anyone said anything about it.
Just chalk this one up to one bad associate, but dont let it form your opinion of ALL associates.
I have had this conversation with corporate via telephone and in writing once in the past. Corporate told me that it was general policy to follow state law, but it is still left to each store manager's discretion on a case-by-case basis as to whether or not to allow a person with a firearm onto the premises or not.Some employees will just make up a rule as they see fit.
When questioned, they may even make up a reason as they see fit.
It doesn't make any difference to them (if they even realize) that Wal-Mart corporate policy is to simply recognize the laws of whatever state the store is located.
You could always follow up with that store's manager and then move up the chain of command if you'd like some local resolution.
For the record, I've never had any issues openly carrying in any of several Wal-Marts.
Because they can live on 8 cents per hour. But that's a story for another time.
How much did you think a five year old makes per hour in that sweatshop?Why do they work for 10 cents an/hour
If that's your personal credo, great, but no reason to attack everyone because they don't follow your path.Sounds like a positive experience to me. You go there for the affordable prices, not WalMart's stance on the second amendment. It appears that they followed through with the affordable prices which is why you believe you will return.
I will spend money in stores that meet my expectations for what that particular store provides. I will spend money in restaurants for the quality of food and service that restaurant provides. I will fill up at gas stations for the quality of gas and price that the gas station provides. I will bank with whatever bank provides the best service in person, on the web, and by location of ATMs.
I hear that Sacs Fifth Avenue is VERY pro-second amendment. Maybe you should all go shop there as that seems to be the most important thing in life (at least when looking for a reason to complain about a company).
I'm just curious, if a mere "associate" makes an issue of your weapon and you ignore their request to leave, does it carry the same weight as a manager?
Say "Bob" the guy that empties the trashcans makes an issue of it and takes it upon himself to display his ignorance of corporate policy by calling the law are you trespassing.
Let's leave management out of this, this is about "Bob". I understand that the manager on duty will probably side with Bob if (s)he becomes involved to protect Bobs paranoia. Focus on Bob.

But you've got to admit, the Chinese are very wise.

Anybody ever visit the Walmarts in Schererville while OCing?
Just chalk this one up to one bad associate, but dont let it form your opinion of ALL associates.
I will probably search for a store that is oc friendly rather than risk the possibility of more undesireable contact with an ignorant associate at this store, but I will not judge an entire company based on the actions of this person. I am certain that this associate was instructed to provide this statement by her superiors if she were asked, as it sounded rehearsed. I would probably seek assistance from management, but it seems to me that based on the posts on here that each store manager has the power to decide whether or not they allow patrons to oc or not in their store.
