My apologies...I was not as diligent as I should have been. I was there picking up some chokes for a shotgun and the gentleman standing next to me asked if they had 9mm. The clerk told him they didn't but that they had 8 boxes of FMJ .380. As I don't have a .380 (until later this week), I didn't pay any mind to the brand / price.
Besides, as soon as he said it, I am sure the .380 Batphone went ringing and it was gone in 8 minutes. lol

I was just about to give up on walmart getting 380. Now if I hear that they were the 100 rd value packs I will be so ticked off that I gave up the search....... Please tell me they were not the 100 round boxes

Crosby Wally had lots of 9mm, 40 and a few WWB 100 rd 45 just before noon, I left it all there.
Academy at Market and I10 was well stocked with SD and range 9mm, 45ACP, 40 and everything but .380.

But here's a potential flaw: If no .45 is ever available for purchase in
their stores, how will a reorder for .45 ever get into the system?
SIA
They have a base layout for stocking. If the system says they should have .45 and it is out of stock, an order for .45 will remain until the order is filled. Same goes for all merchandise. They have specialist that determine what merchandise should be carried by region/area. If a store has no .45 and there is none on order, it means some rocket scientist has determined that .45 does not move well enough at this location to stock it.
Houston Wally Worlds always seem to have ammo while Plano/North Dallas stores don't. I speculate this is caused by the difference in demographics. Houston is known to have more redneck yeehaw cowboy types....typical gun owners. Plano/North Dallas is more the sophisticated yuppie types...lots of metro sexuals... typical pacifist types who wouldn't know a gun if it hit them on the head. There is a fear at corporate that if they don't supply enough ammo to the rednecks, a riot could ensue and hundreds, if not thousands of game chickens could be slaughtered. They are not afraid of Yuppie pacifist metro sexuals....sooooooo...Plano/North Dallas get put on the end of the list.
Hey, at least your Wally Worlds sell guns and ammo. I've stopped in a couple of Wally's in Austin that don't sell either one.
