I was in The Framingham Walmart last week buying some ammo and a few other gun related things I needed. I waited for somebody to open the case so they sent the Asst. store manager. The first thing she asked was if I was 18 (Im 36 with a full beard and a good amount of grey hair). She didnt ask my age for protocol, she was seriously asking me, I answered yes. Her second question and she said it very seriously "Im not going to see you on that 48 hours show am I ?" I looked at her like a disapointed parent, paused for a about 5 seconds, shook my head and said "I highly doubt it" even more seriously than her. She handed me the ammo, started to ring me up and never asked for my LTC until somebody came running over. She asked the same 48 hour question to another customer just browsing the case.
As she rang me up she asked again if she was going to see me on "that 48 hours show" and "I didnt know we had to ask for anything more than a drivers license for ammo"
 
Sounds like a typical anti gun dolt to me. Once years ago I remember nobody was in SG and me and this other guy had to get "escorted" up to the tobacco line so it could be rung up properly. People were looking at us like we were terrorists or something. I was waiting for a moonbat to go "what are you going to do with all those bullets???" or something similarly stupid.

That experience was only topped by the Walmart clerk that kept looking at my LTC every time the register told him to do so when he scanned in a box of ammo. He kept looking at it over and over like it was going to change or something between boxes of ammo. Eventually he stopped, but it was funny...

The register would have prompted her to check your FID when she rang the ammo up, and if she didn't get the hint then.. she is another walking WM drone.

At which I always say "No, you can't. I do not have and FID card, I have a Class A LTC".
 
"I'm not going to see you on that 48 hours show, will I?"

"No you'll be on a milkbox"

kidding lawr
 
When did Framingham Walmart start selling ammo again?

I hate that location, the Bellingham one is much nicer and the lady that works the ammo cabinet is very pleasant.
 
There was a very nice woman working in Framingham earlier this year and last year. I forget her name but she was the sporting goods dept manager. I think she had redish hair. She got it.
 
At least you got full sentances out of her. Most of the time all you get from a wal-mart employee is that bovine stare
 
I miss Pennsylvania...I once walked up to the Walmart ammo counter wearing a Punisher t-shirt (black with a big skull) and purchased six or seven hundred rounds of ammo, rubber gloves and handsoap. Not even a blink.
 
The last time I bought ammo at the Framingham WalMart (a couple of months ago), some newer kid was doing it possibly for the first time. He spent a good 10 seconds going back and forth between me & my LTC comparing the picture. Then he started asking me about what I was planning on "hunting" and started joking about bad neighbors. Finally a more experienced employee stepped in and basically gave him the "get on with it" hint.

Overall it was a bit awkward, and I never expect exceptional customer service there. I'll usually opt for a local shop when I can, but I'm glad they're selling again.
 
I like when they double bag my stuff. It's heavy and usually rips the bag otherwise. I usually ask them to if they aren't already doing it.

There is a nice older guy that works the Framingham counter. i like him, he seems to know his isht.

I like the fact that they do that because it's heavy and I had a bag rip one time walking out. .22 EVERYWHERE! PITA I tell you. PITA.

North Attleboro Wal-Mart, the other day I was buying .22. The guy was training a new kid. He said, "He's got a LTC, which is good enough for Rifle Ammo." I looked and told him it was for a .22 pistol. Without a blink, he replied, "And he's got an LTC, which is good enough for pistol ammo."

I giggled...the guy smiled...and I went out the store. I'm guessing that this old timer that was working the counter was someone that's been around firearms and was working there because it was something to do he loved being around. At least that's what I was thinking.

F'k Walmart. I am surprised that you could find someone to help you. Everytime I go there the sporting goods register is a ghost town, and I have to scour the store for an employee who can get in to the case.

Those people work at Walmart for a reason. A couple weeks ago when I was buying ammo some booze hag clerk asked me for my drivers license in addition to my LTC so she could verify my age. She told me in a very condesending voice that I "DEFINITELY don't look 21". I'm 36.

"You don't need my driver's license, and my DOB is on that. But thank you for trying".
 
I have had people give me a hard time in Walmarts before.

One lady said, "can you believe you can just buy this stuff without a license?" I said, "yes, I know. Apparently New Hampshire has not completely shredded the Constitution yet. That's why I live here!"
I have had them say, "you know hollowpoints are for killing cops, right?" I replied, "They will kill just about anything, as will full metal jackets, and lead nose. In fact any bullet in that case can kill just about anything" (I know, I said bullet. I am not going to argue with Walmart people about bullets vs. cartridges)
Also, when buying 250 round boxes of .45, she said, "what in the world could you possibly do with that many .45 bullets?".....Replied, "shoot them. Its just a shame ammo is so expensive, because I can only afford to shoot 200 rounds of .45 per month, then I switch to 500 rounds of .22" I then continued, "there was a time ammo was so cheap, you could shoot that much and more, several times per week. I was just talking about 1 or 2 range trips per month"
 
I love it. Not ammo related but I was in sears last week looking for some anti fatigue mats for my shop and saw a set of cabinet scrapers cheep so I decided to pick them up and get carded. I am still a little young 28 with a goatee but definitely look over 18. The blades aren't even that sharp the way you could slice someone with them after you use a stone to get the edge flat you burnish each edge so the very small burr scrapes and smoothes the wood. However the sharp 10 table saw blade he rung up first (that would be very easy to make into a weapon should one desire) required. What next? I am almost afraid to know.

All I had to see was the TITLE of this thread and I knew it was going to be about Walmart. That says something. Something like "You've been shopping in way too many Walmarts", I think. [thinking]

Heh. Somewhere there's a thread about my experiences with the idiot at the Hudson, MA Walmart who insisted that she needed to see my FID, and that my class A All Lawful Purposes LTC wasn't good enough.

Clearly that associate couldn't find a cow, inside a barn, at a slaughterhouse. Uneducated at best. I blame the person who taught that associate about working at SP. But I guess thats par for the workers they hire. Oh hey did you know the "convicted of a felony" block is going to be taken off of hiring forms? Because it's a form of discrimination.[thinking]

Man, back when I worked for the Regime, it was way different. We actually recruited people that cared about sports, especially firearms and hunting specifically for that department.
