andybrooke Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 map at my stores were not pulling up this morning... they are up now. -- I can now see which store I am going to skip -- the cheap tv and the cheap laptop are both located right next to the toy section.... seems like a disaster waiting to happen.
fabnsab Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Am I missing something? Wouldnt they consider a 50' plasma for $598 more high ticket than a kodak camera? I do not see it listed on any of my stores maps. Am I the only one who finds this omission strange?
laffnatu Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I would have thought the ps3 would be a big ticket item too. Oh well, I'll hunt it down when I get there. lol
ydkjman Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Are they really the blue ones and not the black ones?They looked blue to me when the came in off the Truck.
grouchers Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Is anyone getting a map for a different area. I select my store and get a map for a store 75 miles away?
ashleycephalis Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I looked at the map for my store and noticed the item I want isn't on there (the 46" Sony LCD). does that mean it's not a hot ticket item? i'm trying to figure out how early i need to be there to get it
Jen8112 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 In trying to make this easier (safer) WM has only created more confusion and in turn will be more dangerous and out of control than before. IMHO.
foilec01 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I believe last year there were some maps leaked last year that included the location of all of the items, and there were several different ones depending on the store set up. Anyone heard of these being leaked again this year?
rogue1230 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 confused.... so do you have to wait till 5am for the things that are not on the map?
KBsDarling Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 welll this seems like a GRAND way to make things easier walmart.....
mccabefamily29 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Mine shows where the kodak camera will be but doesn't show where either laptop will be.
wbfgolla Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Was at WalMart today and eavesdropped on the employee meeting where they were simulating the line for section G in the shoe department (at least at my store). I spoke with the store manager afterwards and asked him what was the plan. He told me about the map and the availability of maps on walmart.com. I asked what time to stand in line. He said (at this particular store) they weren't even going to start making the ropes for the lines until 2am Friday and they would allow no lines before the ropes were up. They will also give out tickets. At my store they are supposed to have 110 eMachine laptops. Once the 110 tix are distributed there are no more - but if you have a ticket you still have to stand in line until 5 am when they start ringing you up unless you get a 15 min. bathroom pass. I also overheard one item per family. Not sure what to do if you want a hot ticket item from two different sections...I forgot to ask about that.
leefamily23 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I checked 3 local Walmarts-- all show the same 10 items. Just different locations. Last year our Walmart handed out store maps w/ all items marked on it about 1 hr before the sale started. I hope they do this again this year for all the other items.
mcmc Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Please make sure you have a map and know where the items are. If there are things not big ticket items you want associates will have maps with everything on them and they will be able to tell you where the other things are.
hopeky94 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I am sooo glad I decided to go to WM in the smaller town on the way to the larger area where the other stores are... Eight out of the ten items shown will be all in one main aisle there-- as opposed to the newly remodeled store in the bigger town, where they're all over the place!! Kinda makes me wonder if maybe my store's planning one BIG line for those items and handing out tickets to whatever item(s) you're wanting from those 8... hmmm, might have to stop by and see if I can find out! I just hope they don't try to crowd the pallets of "little" stuff in between those-- talk about some major chaos!! lol
Kim3498 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 The DS Lites are not on the big ticket map , so I called my local Walmart. They Customer Service girl told me that they would be handing them out somewhere in the store, instead of just sitting them out on a pallet. She also said there is a limit of 1. I needed 2. Anyone else heard anything about a limit?
