I would have jsut chained the bike right up to the mini "kart corral" they have in there.

I think after a while, it might make a point with management.

I don't like the cart pens. Too great a risk of a sart slamming into your bike. I like sign posts, trees, swing set displays, etc. The walmart near me has an iron fence around the garden center. The vertical bars are great for locking up the bike.

Better still is to patronize merchants who install bike parking facilities. I figure walmart doesn't care about cyclists because you can't buy very much stuff and take it home on a bike.

Our local Walmart "cares." A year or so ago a lady brought some pictures into the 1 hr place there in Walmart. The next thing she knew the cops were marching her out of the store in front of everyone. It turns out she had a "topless" photo of her 3 year old girl swimming in a pool with her dad. That was considered "child porn" according to Walmart's standards i guess.

At the end of the day, the lady sued and ended up having to drop the case. Walmart was correct i guess, so be warned if you have any "graphic" pictures of your babies out there. Idiots!!!

I've never tried this. A Wal-Mart employee asked me to remove my backpack and check it up front, but that's to prevent shoplifting. (Doh! I admitted to shopping at Wal-Mart! Arrrggh!)

Well, what do you know about that?

They probably do... but at minimum wage with no benefits, no vacation, and no insurance, and with forced unpaid overtime, it's not worth their making any extra effort. Would you?

They allow women to bring in large purses, but a backpack is forbidden. One reason why I prefer to take my bike and my money to other stores.

Wal-mart is a joke !!!! At least the one I go to is. everytime I go there I get a hassle. The is laways some assclown at the front doors sticking stickers on people's bags when they come in, I told him 3-4 times already, that I don't want or need one of his so called security stickers. And what's worse is the clerks who are mostly women take forever to do thier jobs.

Yea, walmart seems to be a joke sometimes, but they are 'ok.' I would go to target if there were one closer; They are a bit more sanitary it seems, and nicer. Carry more stuff.
