This is the new display Walmart in Laramie has put up this week. Another reason to hate them.

That sucks but if I boycott Wal-Mart here in Laramie I really have no place to shop.

Haha very true. I just can't believe you would do that here in Laramie.

I was there earlier today and completely missed it (was busy getting a few things because I head to Fort Collins in the morning).
Had I seen it, I would have stacked more pop cases after it to say "will lose!"

Ought to write to the Boomerang about this in a letter to the editor or something, because that is stupid.

Another reason to hate Wal-Mart, apart from them willingly screwing over farmers and small business owners alike after getting them excited about contracts and purchases - not to mention all the local stores and shops they put out of business.
Wal-Mart IS evil... ever since Sam Walton died, they started using shadier and shadier business tactics, and now this? An 'N' in a Laramie Wal-Mart? Too bad that tornado a few years ago wasn't bigger and destroyed the whole thing.

Is the manager a Nebraska alum? I'm sure there's a punchline in there somewhere, but seriously? And the t-shirts on top of it?
Boycotting sounds about right, but other store owners in the area need to make a marketing effort around this. "We support the Cowboys, not their oppenents" or something like that would go a long way towards drawing business away from Wal-mart. And if the University does anything official with them (isn't there a broadcast there on gameday?) that needs to stop yesterday.
GO POKES!!

The last store manager i knew there was from Cheyenne but that was just over a year ago..... I don't live there anymore so I don't know if the manager has changed.
Sounds like we need a phone # or email or both for this store manager.. time to send him some email about his poor decision.

I avoid Wal-Mart as a rule. As long as there's an alternative source for whatever I'm looking for, I'll skip the Wally World. It's not out of the whole "unfair competition" thing, I'm a pretty pure Objectivist, but mostly because I just don't care for muffin tops, mullets, tank tops, and flip-flops.
As for this Wal-Mart's decision, I'd say they're setting themselves up for some well-deserved patron-driven punishment. Problem is, most people in Laramie are too undisciplined and single-critical about their financial decisions (it's all about what's better for their pocketbook, not whether the transaction brings personal pleasure and community strength and identity) that I doubt any sort of action would last long.
