They might make a special run for a big box srore.
They aren't seconds for a very simple reason. No company that makes that many substandard items can stay in business.

I'm talking plastic instead of metal parts when they can, and basically cutting a few corners.
Wal-mart is a gigantic bidness because they sell stuff cheap. That's their secret. They order chit in huge bulk quantities at a deal nobody else could negociate, and then under cut their competition. Quality has nothing to do with it, and hasn't ever since Wally forked Rubbermade back in the '90's.
China loves Wally.

What happens when you can't buy guns and ammo at Wal-Mart? You support Mom and Pop's store!!!! Capitalism is a great thing.

That was my thinking also, Snowy.
I would hate to think that PETA could influence WalMart into a decision not to sell firearms, or archery equipment. However, if that meant that more people would patronize the local pro shops, then I don`t see where that would be such a bad thing.

That's ashame. I can't imagine what it would have been like growing up without White Castles. They are kind of a staple in our household.

I've had it before in STL... one late night, but I can't say I recall whether it was decent or not. I'll have to take your word for it.

They are most tasty when you are sober, LA. Try them in the afternoon next time before you start your festivities.

I did what LA did and quit both Target and K Mart when they stopped selling guns, fishing gear, etc. About all I go to Wal Mart for is sporting goods. Won't bother me a bit not to go....the wif on the other handed will have to go to rehab.

I dgaf about walmart's sales. I will always patronize the local folks. What I don't like is corporations being swayed by political influence's that directly opposes my beliefs and caters to what I consider to be a bunch a liberal anti-everything crybabies. Took me 15 seconds to send the email. I got the same resonse BJ did. I have no beef with Wally World if that is truely whats driving the decision. Fug them either way.
LA, your not missing anything. White Castle's will make you pay longer than the alcohol that led to you eatin those nasty things.

I grew up thinking White Castles are one of the four food groups.

If White Castle was one of your 4 food groups, the other 3 must've been Tums, Kaopectate, & Milk of Magnesia.
