Yesterday I was thinking trying to get out to the range but waned to make sure I had enough rounds first so I walked into my friendly neighbourhood Walmart. I walked in with my XD out in all its glory out for all the world to see right past the overly aggressive borderline abusive man petitioning outside, past the gretter and strait back to the sporting goods section.
All went well up until this point, I told the salesman what I wanted as he unlocked the ammo and he seemed either blind to my gun or didn't care.
Just as he started to ring me up by chance the stores manager happened to be walking by, all of the sudden I herd "what are you doing! Don't do that!" The manager came over and told the salesman not to sell the bullets to me for his and mine own safety. Both he salesman and I had he same confused look on our face as we stared at the manager. The manager continued "once you sell that too him what's stopping him from loading up and shooting up the place". After the salesman being speechless for a few seconds surprisingly he came to my defence with "I'm pretty sure he's already loaded so whats the diffrence".
We all three chatted for a few more minutes until the manager told me again for everyone's safety he would allow me to purchase the ammo in the sporting good section of the store but I would have to pick them up at register 14 on my way out the door.
My first thought was to give this guy a peace of my mind and ask to see corporate policy but could see how uncomfortable he was having someone open carry in the store. So instead I agreed to his terms and spent the next 20 min casually strolling through the store while he followed me at a distance obviously on the urge of a panic attack. I was extremely polite and well mannered the enter time showing him more tolerance than he showed me. I picked up a few more items I needed purchased them and picked my bullets up on the way out. The manager followed me all the way out of the door and part if the way to my car. I smiled, thanked him and drove off.
