Walmart: Guns on layaway

[jimpeel]

Went to walmart today hoping to put a Windham Weaponry WW15 on layaway..well they have one left but the cashier said they required 50% for layaway. Anyone else here know anything on the matter? Thanks.

Yes. He is full of excrement. Print out the following link and take it to him and shove it in his face. The down is $10 or 10% whichever is greater.

If he argues tell him to call his manager and speak to them on this associate's lack of knowledge.

Maybe the sign at the WalMart depending on the location said "excepting firearms for layaway".....lol.

Local WallMart stopped selling guns years ago. Not even a muzzle loader. However, the ammo prices are the best around.

Okay. Here's the skinny on firearms layaways.

I asked about the 50% figure and was told it was not true EXCEPT for special orders. Then the figure is 50% down.

All other sales are treated as simple merchandise and the 10% figure applies.

If they tell you anything other than 10% for firearms in stock tell them to call their manager and if he says you are wrong tell him the following in these words:

"Go look on the WIRE and look up the SOPs for sporting goods layaways."

Don't take "No" for an answer.

The WIRE is the Wal-Mart Intranet. The SOPs describe how the layaway sale is to be made step-by-step.
