We went out after midnight and it looked like it was close. We didn't bother stopping, we drove by the door but the lights were dimmed and their sign was out. There were people there waiting for drives but it looked like they had closed up.

Walmart was open 24 hours on Friday, closed at 11pm on Saturday and 12-5 on Sunday. They reopen I think it was 7am Monday and don't close again till Saturday at 11pm.

ok...so are they prejudice against christmas or something? Why would I have to get it out by the 17th? They did not say anything to me about it, and I am not going until the 21st. Why would it matter? What if I wanted something for myself and wanted it out on the 21st?

It may just be a end of the year policy for inventory or something.

Could also be that sometimes people change their minds about a layaway...or don't pick it up...maybe still want it but can't afford it...various reasons....

By putting a date such as Dec 17 on all layaways anything that isn't picked up can be put back on the shelf and they have basically a week (close to it) to sell the items....

I suppose with it being end of year....christmas...they have many reasons why they have a cut off date....

yeah it says if I do not pick up by january 8th, they will put it back on the shelf. I can understand them wanting to have a majority of xmas stuff picked up by a certain date though...near christmas will be crazy!

If thats the case then they must not have asked you if it was for Xmas.. My original date was the 23rd or something like that.. and they asked if it was for xmas.. I said yes.. and they said o u have to pick it up by the 17th.. I would call to check.. but if they didnt cross out your orig date.. then you should be fine..

I may not open my mouth.. Just in case.. LOL
Up to you.. I just thought i would let u know what i went through..
Have a Merry Xmas..

They are just being thoughtful. They don't want a wrapping paper shortage on the 24th.
