I see both sides of the arguement but let me say my 2 cents...the Walmart I live near and go to the most often, I'll notice during the holiday season that families are putting like two shopping carts full of stuff on layaway. I mean, to me if you're putting stuff on layaway you don't have the money for it at that moment in time, I'm wondering if they'll have the money 30 days later. And I'm not talking two carts full, I'm talking crammed full of crap, every possible space used and brimming over.

I mean to me it's "keeping up with the Jones". I have to wonder, how much of that merchandise isn't even bought in the end? That is being held in layaway, so therefore no one else can purchase it.

That's the downside, Walmart can't sell the items until the 30 days are up and either all the items are paid for or not.

I'm not sure I'm making any sense right now.
