Some stores seem to do really well while others look like the one you posted.
So much for Walmart's wonderful ability to keep its shelves properly stocked.
What was considered state of the art inventory control twenty years ago doesn't cut it today.
No wonder so many people shop Amazon.
I have 3 WM stores within easy driving distance. One is a stereotypical location. One is newer but getting a reputation for fights and shootings. And one is head and shoulders above the others in terms of cleanliness & clientele. Only the two dodgy locations ever have the oils I look for. At one point, only one of them showed online stock for Pennzoil 0w40 Euro, so that's the one I visited. Got there and none on the shelf. Asked an employee from the auto department and he said he'd never seen it and when we looked we couldn't even find a shelf tag for that product. I get a bit annoyed when a retailer has a website that is supposed to show current stock, and when you get there there's none to be found. So, yes, either buying online from Amazon or at least doing the ship to store purchase is the easiest and reliable way to go.
