Walmart Screws Up Again With Offensive Sign Placement

Photo: Twitter

Just last month we heard that Walmart had a racial slur on their website, and now this time around they found themselves apologizing after they were called out by putting up a back-to-school sign in the worse possible spot.

Let us explain what we mean by showing you a photo shared by a dude named Anthony. Take a look at it below.

So aside from the fact that they are selling a bunch of guns, Walmart actually put this sign up: “Own The School Year Like A Hero” right above a rack full of guns. Like, why? Not bright at all. Now no word yet if this was the work of a prankster, an employee who doesn’t give a damn, or just orders from Walmart themselves, but regardless Walmart was quick to respond.

Absolutely, Anthony. We agree this was horrible and we’ve since removed the sign from the display. -Vik

Good question. This was Store #1341. I hope this helps, Jared and we want you to know we are truly sorry for this. -Vik

But then Walmart decided to change their tune.

Hi Jared. To add a bit, the manager at the location reported confirmed that there was no such sign posted. Still looking into it. -Dean

The chaos wasn’t done there as another dude called Walmart out.

Yes, this is terrible, Jordan. This sign had no business there and was taken down as soon as we were alerted. We are very sorry. -Dean
