I've noticed this also in Davidson & Wilson County Walmart. Here is a link that might be used to write Walmart - maybe if this gets out and people actually write Walmart - then maybe they will make some changes. It's worth trying! http://walmartstores.com/contactus/feedback.aspx I would select "company feedback". Click next and then write them a message. The last click - I would select send to corporate office. Just a thought. Ann Shapiro Old Hickory, TN On Sun, May 29, 2011 at 4:07 PM, <Viclcsw@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Any Walmart stock holders out there?
