Thats funny Gabz.
Now they get to hold and use your money without having to actually store goods for you.
It seems to me that you'd be better to buy "gabz cards" (you know, your bank account), and then use those at Wal-mart when you need something.
Just my .02
You have a good point.
I originally got the idea more than a year ago from a Sears Appliance Center. Sears doesn't (and I don't think ever did) do layaway and we had no desire for a Sears cars. The gal there told us many people had started picking up $10 or $20 gift cards and building up until they had want they dieeded for what they wanted. We were buying a washer that day, and paying cash for it and being pushed to open an account.
