An Arkansas woman who went to pick up the class ring she ordered from Walmart left disappointed, after store officials told her the retailer's new policy barred them from turning the item over -- because it bore an image of the Confederate flag.
Elaine Glidewell told KFSM someone from the store in Fort Smith called her to pick up the ring she'd ordered for her nephew, but when she arrived on Tuesday, a clerk told her she couldnt have it. The ring had been ordered before Walmart stopped selling items bearing images of the flag, in the wake of controversy that stemmed from a racially-charged shooting in South Carolina.
I wanted to cry, Glidewell told KFSM, adding that the store clerk said the ring would be "melted."

This is how you can inflict extreme emotional distress on a Libtard!
That’s a beautiful graphic, Zakeet!
That’s a pretty idiotic policy. Walmart has every right to decide to take no more new orders, but they should complete those already taken.
I would sue to the hilt. Ordering a custom ring is basically a contract...and this country got so crazy so quickly I doubt there is any fine print in the signed order form which states, “unless the country loses its damn mind and your particular design includes a Confederate flag, we will, of course, have to melt it down”.
A friend ordered a plastic model kit of the General Lee. It came without the rebel flag decal for the roof.
PeeCee finally got to even the Wally Worlders.
There sounds like there will be a vacuum here that others will fill.
One does not have to wish the Dixie flag out of sight everywhere in order to wish something that Dixiecrats put over a symbol of statewide rule to no longer be there (a distinction that has me being called a troll on another thread).
I would raise holy terror with Wally World as well.
No, you can’t say roof... that is the other bad word after the Madman Slaughter of Nine.
Give us our Confederate battle flags, or else we’ll secede!!!!
Someplace else will need to become the redneck go-to store. That’s all. Don’t get mad, get even.
I agree. It’s like breaking contract or something and it’s a rotten thing to do to the kids.
It's already out there..........Cracker Barrel
Sounds like they were forced into another “contract” — one which we did not even see. NAACP?
I wish... I went there a couple weeks ago when this brouhaha was fresher and nary a stars and bars to be seen. I think they cleansed their inventory too.
Only some USA rah-rah which felt rather lame after the idiotic USSC decrees.
——Someplace else will need to become the redneck go-to store.——
implicit in that post is the assumption there is some one else with the capital, the tech savvy and the business savvy to do it.
there is no such person nor organization
Love it!
Some bait-and-beer joint that is willing to branch out, maybe.
That is the cat’s *ss...awesome! Where do I get one? :-)
Sounds like an opportunity for a pro bono lawsuit for mental anguish, pain and suffering, etc. Use the Left’s tools against them.
People should start wearing confederate shirts to all Wal-Marts.
