Just to throw some numbers my AA (mid) volume store at target had something like 4-500 copies of MW2 sold in the first week, we will go though 30-50 of a popular game a day(usually wii fits and MW2, batman AA) during the holiday season. Heck the week before christmas we sold 107 Wiis.theironbat46 said:
Inventory is a tricky thing.
You'll notice that stores generally have christmas sales and sell out many of their products by christmas. You can't hate walmart for that.
Not everyone lives near your Walmart dude, you just might live in the golden land. Where employes actually help and not act like jerks, where everything is on the shelves, unopened, not broken and not glued to the floor. Where stuff is in stock and findable. The Promised Land.RanD00M said:
Running out of stock happens, especially to big warehouse-style stores. And while changing their pricing on such short notice is a little predatory, it's not exactly unusual.
But there are plenty of perfectly good reasons to hate Wal-Mart, some of which have already been mentioned. [Allegedly](So I don't get sued): Low prices at the cost of product safety. An employee turn-over rate that often approaches 100%. Union-busting. Abuse of worker's compensation in states where they've taken the program over for their stores. Pressuring managers to make fraudulent changes to employees' recorded hours. Capping employee hours to avoid giving them health insurance. Using regional power to lower prices to destroy competitors, then jacking them up once they're the sole providers of types of goods in the area. And on, and on, and on...
I just don't shop there. I don't think they're just business as usual. I think they're downright evil.

Grumpty Grumpty Groo! Well you know, It IS partly my fault, but I always have had a hatred of walmart.InfernoJesus said:
i realize I forgot to mention this, after I found out all of the stuff was out, I needed a new laptop recharger. I asked an employe to point them out to me. he goes "Uhhhh..." He walks over and isle."Over there" I walk over to where he pointed. I find bags. BAGS.
Now hon, there are a plethora of reasons to hate Walmart.
Walmart running out of product? That isn't one of them. All stores go through that, especially such a widespread store as Walmart with such overdone advertising of special deals at Christmas time. Saying you hate the store because they ran out of something is like saying you hate an anchovy and peanut butter sandwich not for the stickyness, distastefulness or bad afterbreath, but because once you're done eating it it's not there anymore. It's just silly.
Go on hating it, don't mind me, but at least have a halfway decent reason.

What? I've been to Disneyland, and most of the areas have nothing to do with Hannah Montana. In fact, everything's based on some Disney movie; after all, there isn't much profit in "Jonas Brothers: The Ride!" I hope. I guess you do have Toontown and the weird animal land, but even they have a kinda thrilling ride.theironbat46 said:
On topic: I either laugh quietly at Walmart or pretend it doesn't exist, depending on my mood. It looks crappy, I'm not about to shop there, and we don't have one close to my house anyway.
EDIT:
Last time I went was a year ago (The Unspeakable One was into her rise to power) and it was great.Pegghead said:
I went to Disneyland when I was 5, I was with both my parents. They had just gotten out of a divorce. I probably should have enjoyed it more, but I didn't. i wanted toon town when I was 5, but got distracted by a hulk comic book. because i was 5Marble Dragon said:
