Waaaaahhhhh!!!!! I went into our Walmart to see what was there. They
only had about 5-10 skeins left and they weren't on sale. Evidently
our WM is greedy and didn't put them on sale... they just have never
restocked any.

Well,
I had forgotten all about the sale ( since there was virtually no
Walmart near us in Bedford, MA). WE swung by one as we left
Sturbridge, MA (another super sale at Wrights...later), because I
needed dog food. As we wandered through, I remembered the sale!! I
couldn't see the carousel, so the ladies pointed it out to me, hiddden
with other crafts.............and there they were in all their full
glory. I only bought about 50, because DH was with me. They had the
sense to "scan one, plus add the number"
. Here in New Hampshire, they demanded each skein be scanned
individually. I was AT the "20 max" counter, and I had 265 skeins. I
had bagged them in 25 ct bags, but management insisted they be scanned
individually. Three employees and myself made great friends, as we
lined them all up, so the lady could fast scan them!

I can understand scanning each skein individually for inventory
control purposes, so the store knows what to re-order. But if they're
closing the floss out and not re-ordering it, then they don't need to
inventory it either, seems to me, so "scan one plus add the number"
shoudl be all that's needed!
