Walmart Refused To Print This Wedding Engagement Photo, Calling It ‘Controversial’

Walmart sells firearms, including rifles made by Ruger. But an employee in Dallas, Texas drew the line when it came to printing an engagement photo that featured a firearm made by the same company the corporation promotes.

According to Daily Mail, Mitch Strobl and his soon-to-be wife Stephanie Wehner had posed for a series of engagement photos, including one that showed Strobl with a 12-gauge Ruger Red Label over-and-under shotgun resting on his shoulder. When they arrived at Walmart to retrieve their 13 photographs they only got 12 back along with a note which read “MINUS ONE 5×7. NO WEAPONS”.

Key point at the end of the article.

“We had a new associate who was misinformed. Her actions are not consistent with our policy,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said Walmart is not against printing photos of its customers holding firearms.

Thanks for that. Sometimes we get too busy and look at a headline, then move on to the next thing. We should always be aware that headlines are created to get clicks.

And here I was thinking because it was of a man and a woman.  Nowadays, that's controversial.

That's more than I got from the article.  I just get a blank page.

All I got was a blank page too. So I Googled the people's names. On most of these "Click Bait" articles I'll Google the topic to see when it actually happened.

I've taken to doing that often of late. . Doing that using TBR's forum Search function is useful before posting a new thread to see if there already is a thread on the topic.
