    I’m seriously trying to find a use case for these things. If you’re prepping for the apocalypse or stockpiling, you’ll buy ammo in bulk from a store. If you’re going hunting, you probably have a stock of ammo, and if not you’ll probably buy a few boxes from the store. And it’s not like Walmart closes, so you can even get it at 2am. What niche are these supposed to serve?

      Lots of rural Walmarts close at night now, for a variety of reasons, such as to cut costs, reduce shoplifting. Ours recently got rid of their plastic handbaskets because too many were being stolen. Not all flyover country has the same set of troubles. This is one small dataset I’m offering, I realize, but we’re not that different from people in urban areas.
