We, loyal shoppers of walmart are writing to ask that Walmart please not phase out their lay-a-way program. This program, which has been in use since 1962, is very important to us, your customers. We have been loyal for years, buying large items on layway, our children's school clothes, christmas items and major household purchases. There is a high demand for this type of program and we beg that you reconsider your choice to do a way with it. Because walmart is one of the few companies that still has a program of this sort, you are getting a lot of business that would otherwise go elsewhere. It would be a mistake to not only your company money wise, but also a mistake you are making in regards to treating your customers to a plesant and unique shopping experience.
