My wife works in the layaway department at Walmart. There has been so many people coming in asking if it is true and complaining about it that it has been giving her a headache. The only way Walmart will reconsider is if the people quit complaining to the Walmart associates and start calling the home office in Bentonville. Just be prepared to pay a put away fee if Walmart reconsiders their decision. |

as far as I'm concerned, they can close down Wal- mart completely |

I dont shop at Walmart. Here is why:

I've never used layaway, but it is a nice option to have. I don't see why a large retailer like Wal Mart would get rid of it - especially since their base customer has an income of about 30-35k. |

I am upset that anyone shops at that crappy quality craphole!!
It drives down wages and has been caught hiring illegals many a time. Why would you shop somewhere that doesnt pay LIVING wages?? |

Well at first but where I live people are notorious for laying away hundreds of things at Christmas,you can not get the toy that is stuck in the back room and they cancel layaway half the time!!! |

Just blame the people who put things on lay away and then leave it there forever, causing wal-mart to lose sales. Cheap bastards. |

My mom mentioned it today and I was very disappointed. Using their lay-away was a good option for my Christmas gifts. Now it looks like I'll have to save up and pay as I shop. |

I did not realize that. I have not put any merchandise on lay-a-way for years, so it would not make a difference to me at all. Have a good night. |

Not for me peersonally, but for people who can only afford layaway for stuff they want and need. |

I read that somewhere but have seen nothing about it at my local Walmart.
When is this supposed to happen? |

I'm not. If folks don't have the discipline to save their own money for something or manage a credit card properly, they shouldn't be buying stuff they can't afford yet anyway. |

yeah I think that they are going to loose alot of business. especially on the holidays, and back to school time. I bet that they are going to regret it and probably bring it back. I feel that it is a dumb decision on there behalf.
from your fellow walmart associate.... |

I THINK IT IS GOING TO HURT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY THE BIG ITEMS UNLESS THEY PUT IT ON LAYAWAY. I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE BUSINESS! |

with layaway, you don't get the merchandise until you pay for it, isn't that right? well, why give them part of the money anyway? why not just wait until you can afford to buy it? |

Layaway is stupid anyhow. Basically you are setting up a savings account that you are not earning interest on. So while you keep making those payments, Walmart is getting rich by investing your money. And it helps their stock go up because they have both your money and your merchandise in their posession. Technically it is theirs until you make the last payment.
Secondly I am sure that they make a small fortune off of the people who do not keep up with the payments. So if you made 4 out of 10 payments, and you didnt finish making the payments, they were able to obtain free money. |
