Star Wars VII - Blu-ray Forum

I took my lunch break at 10 to run to Walmart to check out the BB8 cover. I went to a closer one, it's smaller but only takes 16 minutes round trip so I have about 10 minutes to shop, versus the other that takes 20 minutes and leaves me with 6. Big mistake.

I walk in, toy displays are set up, but no movies. I go to electronics, the new release shelf is cleared off. They can't be sold out, it's only 10 AM. There are the boxes sitting behind the counter. I only see the regular version so I ask about bb8, they didn't even get any! I really can't believe this store sometimes. Still not as bad as the time I was at a different store to get interstellar and they had none out, and he said they were in the back but he couldn't leave the floor to get them and to check back around 11.

On the plus side, Easter candy was 75% off, so I got a three pack of creams eggs for $0.75!

Another funny thing, I needed some packing tape, and the Walmart brand I got last time was poor quality, so I thought I'll just spend the extra and get Scotch brand. Scotch: 5.97 for two rolls, Walmart: 6.97 for 4 rolls. Wait a sec, Scotch 2 rolls, 48X100, Walmart 4 rolls, 48X48. Hmm. So you actually get more with the name brand and it's a dollar cheaper? I guess you are paying $1.00 extra for the two extra cardboard cores? It pays to pay attention.
