Hi, I'm new to this board and this is my first response but this Walmart thread just pushed my buttons. My sister has been a department manager for 14-15 years and I can tell you horror stories that go on at Walmart, but I'll try to keep it pertinent to this thread. I just spoke with her last night and she told me the 'powers that be' have now taken away from the department managers the ability to reorder items until the stock count says "0" for 24 hours...then they can order and maybe get something in 3-5 days. That means a whole week without a certain item. So with an already downsized fabric department, it is even more bare with unstocked items. Thanks for letting me vent. AND I love this board!
