At my "local" Wal Mart.

[Maine-ah]

I may call and complain about this one.

[Bladian]

1. Call and complain? Seems a little over the top to me. n/t

[Maine-ah]

3. maybe.

not sure on it.

I certainly don't think it's an appropriate placement.

Plus, I like being a pain in the ass when it comes to them. :hi:

[ZombieHorde]

15. It is not a pain in the ass for Wal-Mart heads, or even mangement,

it is a pain in the ass for the poor worker that has to move the heavy cases again. You're just fucking with poor people with no insurance.

[Maine-ah]

18. actually, those types of displays

are placed there by the beer/wine distributors. I know this for fact. Been on both sides of the business.

[ZombieHorde]

21. I see. Would the beer/wine distributor delivery person have to come back and move it? nt

[Maine-ah]

22. the sales people are generally the ones who put up the displays

but at this point, I just suggest you read down thread...

2. I would complain too. Where's the Guinness?

Coors Light sucks.

[Maine-ah]

4. right here!

:toast:

seriously, coors is horse piss.

[yourout]

48. no.....it's Colorado cougar piss.

[flvegan]

5. It's like a "shit you should never buy cuz it sucks" aisle.

Kind of convenient for them to put it all in one, skippable row.

[Fearless]

9. +1

[stuntcat]

LOL

I laft! :rofl:

[Maine-ah]

17. alright flvegan

you win...

:rofl: :toast: <---- vegan beer? Do they make that?

[flvegan]

61. Most

beer is vegan. THANK the GODs!!!!! lol!

[JVS]

63. +1

[JVS]

65. Wait! Lemonade and Rice Krispy Treats are good.

I don't know what the fuck the princess shit is though.

[RB TexLa]

6. What exactly is your complaint?

[Fearless]

10. I assume beer being next to children's food.

[RB TexLa]

13. Because it's not organized that perfectly?

Really?

[Fearless]

16. Because typically grocery stores clump types of food together...

The bread, the dairy, the pasta, fruits, vegetables, etc. I think what they're saying is that it is similar to putting cartoons on cigarette boxes or something, in essence promoting children to drink... otherwise it's just funny that they would think these are logical places for each of these items.

[RB TexLa]

23. So children should not see beer? That's insane, it's part of the world

[Fearless]

24. I don't think anyone thinks it's a HUGE deal, a little odd or out of place perhaps.

[totodeinhere]

27. It's huge enough deal to the OP that they might call up and complain. n/t

[Fearless]

29. You should ask them themselves how they feel I suppose. I won't claim to know.

[Maine-ah]

30. nah, at this point

I've done the dreaded flip flop. :rofl:

[Curmudgeoness]

37. No, don't flip flop. This really isn't appropriate, and

if management at Walmart has to be told that, what a shame.

Make your voice heard. Yes, it is funny, but it is also rather disgusting.

[oldhippie]

58. No, I think it's .....

.... promoting beer drinkers to eat some healthy cereal. :-)

[RC]

60. The kids will think that is parley pop and accidental buy it thinking

it is their sugar laden, artificially flavored water, like their favorite drinks are.
One sip will abuse them of that. :::Blaaaauck:::

[Fuzz]

7. Coors light is made for kids, isn't it?

[Maine-ah]

12. definitly "beginners beer"

perhaps it's the correct isle after all. :rofl:

8. You mean you don't pour beer over your cherrios?

I thought everyone did. Snap, crackle, burp!

[JHB]

11. You mean Coors doesn't go well with Princess Pops?

Who knew?

[ZombieHorde]

19. One of the video stores in my town had the pornos next to the anime,

including children's anime. My wife and I thought this was hilarious, but someone must have complained, because the setup didn't last long.

[Maine-ah]

25. not all that appropriate.

I'm definitely not a prude...but I'd rather my four (almost 5) year old not having to deal with that yet...

"What does BDSM mean, Mamma?"

ok, well I'm just not ready to explain that...lmao :rofl:

[Ter]

20. Beer is American as can be

I'd rather my kid drink a beer than smoke anything. If anything, complain that is's Coors Light.

[totodeinhere]

26. I prefer not to shop at Walmart, but a Coors Light and a Rice Crispy treat sound

pretty good right now.

[panader0]

28. OMG!!

Manufactured outrage.

[Maine-ah]

33. zomg

read the whole thread. :rofl:

[rucky]

31. Coors Light IS pretty offensive.

[Initech]

36. Agreed, it shouldn't be seen on the beer aisle.

[tawadi]

38. lol

Beat me to it.

[totodeinhere]

70. What regular priced beer would you recommend? I can't afford to pay $10 for a six pack

of imported or micro brewery beer.

[rucky]

73. Yuengling, if you can find it. Otherwise...

Trader Joe's has a good generic beer for $3 a sixer, and Walgreen's has a new house brand I tried that's fantastic.

[totodeinhere]

74. Thanks. I'll try it. n/t

[tkmorris]

75. Wait, Walgreen's? Are you serious?

We are talking about the drug store chain right?

[rucky]

76. Yep. It's called Big Flats 1901

[Harmony Blue]

32. Whomever put up that display should be disciplined

And if it was part of the vendors contract, shame on Walmart. My gut feeling tells me the vendor probably wanted to put up his product near the other beer is being sold at because that is where customers go to buy beer. I am definitely leaning on pinning the blame on incompetent Walmart staff and management.

[mysuzuki2]

34. you certainly should complain.

Bud Light is terrible beer!

[lame54]

35. you're right - those sugary treats are horrible

[HipChick]

39. I would complain too...American Beer

and not a nice import

[totodeinhere]

71. I thought it was a good thing to buy American over imports.

Of course Coors sold out to a foreign interest several years ago.

[Quantess]

40. Beer belongs in the maternity clothing section.

Seriously, though... you don't want kids to look at boxes of beer? Seems like a huge overreaction to me.
But then, some of the little things that I complain about seem like overreactions to others, so...I'm not going to tell you what to do or not to do.

[Kerrytravelers]

41. You're right.

The beer should be on the bottom shelves and that sugary junk on the top.

[cherokeeprogressive]

42. Be honest... Did you move that beer yourself? Did you see who DID move it?

It's so obviously fake and out of place simply to provoke poutrage that It's not even funny.

I can't believe this fucking place sometimes.

[Quantess]

45. You think someone took the trouble to move a whole bunch of cases of beer

just to make a semi-inappropriate store display?
It's not THAT shocking, is it? Just careless.

[cherokeeprogressive]

47. I most certainly think someone was just trying to manufacture poutrage against Walmart.

Have you looked CLOSELY at the picture? There are five shelves, and on the third and fourth one, the beer is ONLY one case deep and the original product that occupied those shelves can be seen behind it. Not even a lowly Walmart employee, underpaid, uncovered, and non-union would be so careless.

I would add that some of the cases are backward, which means this was done in an awful hurry so as not to get caught.

Yet, uncritical DU'ers swallow this bullshit hook, line, and sinker as always.

[Quantess]

54. Sorry, but I don't believe someone would go to that much trouble

to do a prank that is so remarkably un-shocking. It's only mildly inappropriate, anyway. If some prankster is behind it...then that's the most boring practical joke, ever.

[cherokeeprogressive]

55. I think the original product sitting right behind the cases of beer speaks for itself.

If you believe that shelves are stocked this way ANYWHERE, that's your prerogative.

I wholeheartedly believe though that DU'ers suspend disbelief simply because the target is Walmart (pun intended).

[Maine-ah]

46. actually

a girl friend of mine took the pic.

She decided to go to wal mart...in a "special" outfit, trying to get herself on the people of wal mart website...she just found this while she was there.

It is not a fake.

[cherokeeprogressive]

49. See post #47

So your girlfriend was trying to spoof Walmart shoppers and "accidentally" found out that Walmart puts beer on shelves with children's food. On top of that, YOU didn't see it, but are compelled to call and complain?

Uh huh.

[Maine-ah]

52. yes.

[Gold Metal Flake]

50. How about a pix of the "special" outfit?

[Maine-ah]

51. lol, I'm still waiting for that :)

[OmahaBlueDog]

43. I agree. With the Brewers in 1st in the NL Central, "Miller" or "Lite" would be more appropriate

:evilgrin:

[taught_me_patience]

44. You ought to complain about the sugar loaded crap "food" n/t

[WinkyDink]

53. Dad takes kids shopping! What's the problem? ;-)

[Sherman A1]

56. It's a filler display

take a hard look at the shelf, there is no shelf tag as is under the snack items to the right of the photo & I bet under the 12 pack minute maid to the left. Chances are Coke (who make the Minute Maid) originally had that 4 foot section, ran short of whatever it was to be or it is a promo section for them. In any event it most likely ran empty & they filled it with Coors in order to not have an empty shelf. Maybe not the best choice next to the children snacks but I bet it won't be there tomorrow if you go back as it will be filled with another item.

[JohnnyLib2]

57. I think someone from The Lounge did that.

There are several suspects :evilgrin:

[blueamy66]

59. WTF?

what happened?

[lynne]

62. AGREE! They need to get that junk food out of there -

- and maybe add beer nuts and beef jerky. Then it would be perfect!

[LeftyMom]

64. Let's see: juice with no juice in it, fruit snacks with no fruit in them, beer with no beer in it...

Makes perfect sense to me.

[Safetykitten]

66. Mommy, can I have the cereal with the lady that has the ginourmous breasts? Oh honey, have a beer!

[indurancevile]

67. one brand of beer smack dab in between lemonade & cereal? weird.

[snooper2]

72. They did that for a reason, just like smore's displays, You dip Rice Krispie Treats

In the Coors Light, makes taste better




:rofl:
