Hi all, this is my first post here...and seeing how wldtx was inundated with questions about BF at Walmart, I will tell you that I am the department manager for the Walmart in my town!
I can't answer many questions about layaway but my store always uses a ticket system for the tv's and computers. We have a certain number of those items already in the layaway bins and have an associate handing out tickets for them. So the customer gets in the layaway line with just the ticket in hand and when the transaction is done the layaway label is put on the item.
As for the laptops...as of today (Thursday) I have not found out how many my store is getting but I am going to insist with my management that I have them in my department so we can have better control over them. It will be so crazy that morning that certainly someone will try to steal one.
Don't know how many other stores will feel that way, but if I was a customer that morning I would check the electronics department first for those.
The prices on the Blitz items usually stay the same even after 11:00. At least with electronics. Maybe a week or two later they might change, but even that is rare.
Just thought I'd add a little of what I knew. Be gentle with me! Kristie
