"Buffet Hotel" not available at Wal Mart?

Post by bestseller92 »

Our local Wal Mart store (which is the only store in town which is open when I get off work at 6 a.m.) hasn't gotten in one single copy of "Buffet Hotel", and when asked, have no idea when they might get any, if ever.

Are Wal Mart stores simply not carrying the record, or it this boneheadedness just confined to mine?

I ended up ordering it from Amazon.

I had to ask. They didn't have one copy out. They found it but it took her 15 minutes. I didn't stick around to see if she was going to put it out.

The only thing Gal-Mart is good for music wise is if you want to get something from AC/DC.

Was at a Wal-Mart in Prairie du Chien WI last night and saw it. Sounds like either your store didn't get it (possible, but not too likely), it's sold out and they haven't resupplied yet (more likely); or the fish-out-of-water clerk in the electronics department you talked to didn't know and couldn't be bothered to find out (most likely).

It's not sold out because I checked on Tuesday and Wednesday morning and it wasn't there then, and when I asked they had no idea.

It seems strange that WM wouldn't stock a CD which is bound to debut in at least the Billboard top ten if not the top five.

I bought it at Wally World last night. I'm glad they did not censor the two cusswords.

I was at Wal Mart this morning, and they had it, but I'd already gotten it from Best Buy a few days before.

That's not very - why do they even bother? On the sites promoting the record it says Wal-Mart on it. Yet they don't really have it.
