1/2 right... always someone with a key but the one who opens for stocking (at least at my 3 local walmarts) clocks in at 7a.

I meant there is always someone in the store working that has or has access to a key.

Ok, thought that was what you meant but wanted to make sure. Yesterday was the first time I heard anything about 7 am at walmart, but it is false. There is always someone there with a key. Here is my experience. Everytime I go to wm I go by the ammo case just to check. I periodically stop in on my way to work at about 5:15 am and have purchased ammo that early several times, just have to wait on someone with the key. Went to my local store yesterday morning at about 5:15 and to my surprise they had eight boxes of 9mm 115gr fmj (7 federal and 1 wwb). I asked the first stocker I could find for help and was informed of the 7 am rule. I went and found another and was told the same thing (she even said it was a new law) so I left and went to work. Told my capt at work about the situation (he needs ammo too) and our crew went in the firetruck to the store. At exactly 6:55 I approached the ammo case and about blew my top when I saw all the 9mm was gone. Well long story short is I got a manager back there and vented my frustration and asked why the ammo was sold prior to 7 am when I was told I couldnt buy it. She said that is not a store rule or policy but some managers are deciding to do it because most employees are busy stocking then and they dont want to be bothered with it. She then told me that if someone complains enough that they will give in. She also checked inventory on her little hand device and it showed they had 15 boxes in the back. They went and checked and sure enough it was in stock and let us buy more than the three boxes each because of our troubles.

What's up with the 7 am thing?
