Aparently Walmart now has decided spray paint is to be treated like certain drugs. </div><div>I was greeted by a sliding glass front spray paint sales area with padlocks on the glass doors ! A device with a push button indicating if I pushed the button some sales human would come to assist me. Well I pushed the button. And waited ....and waited ....& waited for no human to arrive. So I gave up and left to buy the paint at Lowe's. </div><div>This was at the Hamburg Pennsylvania Walmart store. Later I spoke with a person I knew worked at this store.. I was instructed to contact Walmart directly. To date no response from Walmart. Exactly what I expected.</div><div>Figured I'd share this experience out of sheer frustration.</div><div>Chuck</div><div>Image is the display in Hamburg Pennsylvania </div></div></body></html>
