Walmart employees force vets to leave the store [View all]

BLADEN COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Walmart employees in Elizabethtown called the cops Sunday to make sure some veterans handing out poppies in honor of Memorial Day would leave the store.

Many people were outraged the vets were told to hit the road, but Walmart employees said they were just following store policy.

According to a spokesperson for Walmart, groups who want to solicit in front of their stores must be approved and scheduled in advance and only one group is allowed to reserve a table at a time.

VFW member Bobby Ludlum thought the organization had booked a space weeks in advance, but the store had no record of it and booked another group.
