Really bad news for those who were plannin' on puttin' things on layaway at WalMart's BF celebration. :cry2: This is currently bein' discussed over at one of GottaDeal's other forums here, but I just thought I'd warn you folks hangin' around the BF forums in case 'ya haven't heard the major news. I just found out today. My wife, who works for Wal-Mart, got back from vacation and went back to work today where the news is really spreading.

 

According to Wal-Mart, due to the loss of profit for the company and apparant lack of consumer interest, stores will stop layaways Nov. 19 and you must pick up your items mid-December. Apparantly, this includes all Wal-Mart stores in the US, including supercenters. What that means for BF Wal-Mart shoppers? No layaways this BF. Period. So much for the easy way of financing doorbusters. :bigcry:

 

The sad news has been delivered. A mod can close this thread so we discuss this over there with everyone else if 'ya like, but I'd like to know BF shoppers' take on this. :no:

I heard this too.. just yesterday. I was in walmart and asked someone in layaway for help in the infant department and while waiting I was playing with a cardboard standee.. then I read it. So I know in indiana they are stopping the program also. My guess is there will be a lot of people upset. The Walmart in my area is falling apart tho. Hardly ever clean. Probably due to the area it is in.. takes me a bit to get there and the people that live around it are tearing the place up. Sad.

Doesn't bother me, and frankly i'm glad they're stopping it. Not fair for people who go out on BF who can AFFORD to buy the item now only to have none left and people have put them on layaway.

I never realized how many people went there on BF just to put the stuff on layaway, til last year I actually saw the layaway line for myself! Holy Cow, it was long!!
