Why do you think Wal-Mart is getting rid of layaway?

Question

I think it's a horrible thing, but I guess if you want something, now, you have to get it right then. Haha!

Answer 1

because all the illegal immigrants are not picking up there items..due to being deported...and the rednecks are too drunk to drive their 4-wheeler there to p/u their items.

Answer 2

Because they want you to use their credit card or gift card. I too think that it is horrible that wal-mart is getting rid of their layaway plan; but according to them they are losing money but they don't want to charge a "layaway" fee like kmart and some other stores due. I'm trying to put as much stuff on layaway now until November 19 before its over. Now what will parents do about back to school and the holidays. I used walmart's layaway alot sometimes I would see something in the store that Iwanted and with the knowledge that when I would come back it won't be there any longer be there I would put it on layaway. I guess I might have to put stuff on layaway at kmart from now on (glad we still have one)

Answer 3

I have been told that Wal-Mart considers it more of a pain to have a lay-a-way department because of the many people who place things on lay-a-way and do not retrieve them. Having to process the items and place them back on the sales floor is costly, when another person may have just purchased the item if they saw it on a shelf.
However, on the other side to that, lay-a-way has helped me purchase things in the past and I hate to see it go.
