It's corporate policy and has been for years. It has nothing to do with ammo, but that locked products are locked because they are high risk items in terms of theft/liability or because law demands it. These products are not supposed to be given to the customer until they pay for it.

Your experience will vary by store and by employee. Some will play policy police, some won't care at all about policy and then some will follow and break policy on a whim, sometimes arbitrarily sometimes for good reasons.

Example, there are those that, if they know you well enough, they will happily violate some minor policies to help you out. Such as handing you that box of 9, rather than escorting you.

I see...makes sense. I do peruse through that gun counter frequently and recognize most of the folks behind it...so I could see why it did happen. Here lately, I've just purchased at the counter. I'll keep that in mind the next time. I can purchase it at the counter, no biggie.

Appreciate the info.

How old are you? You have to be 18 to buy rifle ammo and 21 to buy pistol ammo. If they don't card you, then it's because you're clearly over 21.
