Welcome To The Salisbury WalMart
I'm not kidding you when I tell you, this was displayed immediately as you walk in the front door of WalMart. Muir Boda, you should be VERY proud of yourself.

You have to understand that a lof of displays like this are usually slowly desconstructed by the public rifling through the items then putting them back wherever they wante because they can't be bothered. Five minutes and the display would be fixed. Should he have someone checking on it regularly, yes (and maybe he does) but no place on the planet has perfect merchandising 100% of the time.
Yes it looks bad, but these sort of things are not a reflection on management.
Maybe you should have been angrier about it when it was in theaters. Its a new release, it will be there for like a week. I'm sure you or your kids will survive this terrible mental trauma.
Be lucky they let this picture out. last week a sent a pic to a friend to prove Walmart had a lower price, and some tough guy came up to me saying: No pictures, private property and tried getting MY phone out of MY hands. I told him lay a hand on me again and it will be the last time. Of course tough guy called for the Salisbury PD to be called. I just walked out with him shouting he would have me arrested. Needless to say, I spent more money elsewhere where I got treated with respect.
Anon 1:30 You must either be a walmart manager trying to defend that trash or you're stupid. I worked at Walmart and there is not customers putting 40 copies throughout the day there. Yes one or two do get there but that is placed that way. It's the same when you walk back by the movies. They have very disgusting horror movies and things right in the middle of the isle when you walk by and at the eye level of kids (not that it makes it any better if it was up higher). I won't even walk the kids by there because that's all you see. Walmart needs to step up and not put that by childrens stuff.
6:18pm it may be private property but him telling you that you cannot take pictures is wrong and if they touch you that is assault. There is no perceived privacy in a store like that and if there is then why do they have you on security cameras. There is not a judge or jury the could convict you for taking a picture sounds to me like you could have a great time with the media and Walmart. The display is just what I'd want my minor children looking at (not)Muir needs to relocate it period!
Anyone been back there tonight? I bet you it's been moved... people to read SbyNews.
Me personally, I couldn't tell you, I have not stepped foot in Wal*mart since Oct 13, 2009 and that was when prescription ran out, it's actually been months longer than that since I've shopped there.
So they won't sell the CDs that have the bad language in the songs but they still display this for everyone coming into the store can see. Make sense..... NOT
