I hit all the city Walmart stores today to stock up on some WWB. I went to get a few quarts of motor oil and an extra gas can at the first one I visited. No gas cans except for 1 gallons. The next two stores were close to being out also. You could see that the shelves would hold maybe 40 cans if full.

Think the sheeple smell trouble?

Very possible.

It's a good thing I have access to a few 10,000 gallon tanks

Super walmart, you will never find a more retched hive of scum and villany, we must be cautious.

I have to say that everytime I go there for some reason........

Walmart is the only place in town that carries the American made Mobil 1 0w40 oil I use.  

Go figure.

No, more like the tards that run the place cannot keep the shelves stocked. Happens a lot at low budget Chinamarts.

Shelves are bare all over since tax time is coming up.

You know what I noticed? People will stand in line to get out of the automatic exit door instead of pushing the unused manual exit door.

I don't know about tax time, but I've noticed the shelves of my local WM are a little bare.  They haven't stocked much in the last couple of weeks.  Inventory perhaps?

I was going to post about this a month ago.

It is a strange phenomenon.

A lot of those 5 gallon gas cans got pulled off the shelves and sent down for Katrina relief. That was what I was told when I tried to buy some in Indiana to go down to Mississippi.

It's possible that WallyWorld is either still awaiting re-supply from the manufacturer or they shipped all the cans from their last contract and are trying to screw the manufacturer down on the new contract price.

Anyone know where one can score 10 gallon gas cans?

There is probably some gas related message forum somewhere where someone came up with the bright idea to buy wal-mart out of all their gas cans on the same day..

This time of year is a big inventory time, I know my grocery store is holding off on major re-orders until the numbers come back for us.

I tried that.  The troll of a woman that was checking the recipts went absolutely apeshit and started screaming about "bypassing security".  I told her exactly where she could stick her security.
