10 weeks after t-shirts bearing Nazi insignia were discovered in Walmart, the retailer has yet to remove them from all their stores, despite initial promises to do so within days.
We're going to limit ourselves to weekly roundups from now on.
We rather enjoy Philip's above. Good direction. More wide angle shots. Let's see this shirt in action.
On a related note, if anyone got a shot of a cat sitting on a Walmart Nazi shirt, Meghann said she'll explode with love.
Five submissions this week, inside...

Just for fun, I grabbed a shirt and headed to the self-checkout line. Sure enough, the shirt didn't scan, and I was informed that an associate would be with me shortly. I continued my purchases when I was approached by the employee running the self-checkout lines. She asked me if I wanted the shirt. I told her it would not ring up. She did some cashier magic, and we were presented with the "SELL NOT ALLOWED" message. She again asked me if I wanted the shirt. I told her that I would. She asked how much it cost, and then saw the price was on the shirt. She then manually rang up a shirt at the listed price (while I grabbed another photo).
Before anyone in the comments goes crazy, I do NOT fault the cashier on this at all. Rather, I see her behavior a pleasantly surprising example of good customer service: she saw a customer trying to purchase a product that was for some reason (she probably figured it a glitch or error) not supposed to be sold, and did what she could do to allow the customer to buy it.
I am curious, though, why these shirts appeared on the shelf now, when they hadn't been available before. Perhaps a hidden stash in the "back room" had been discovered and blindly put out for display. Perhaps, though, there is more to it that speculation can easily come up with.
Dutifully.

She walked over to her 1980's style, "regular" Wal-Mart cash register and rang it up. Now, it is important for me to clarify that at no point did I see anything indicating a "NO SALE". Instead a price of $7.83 rang up. The clerk joked with me saying, "See, and you were trying to overcharge yourself!" She walked back over to the self checkout register I was originally at and entered manual register mode, that only employees, or maybe hackers, can access. She had to go through a couple of processes, entering the sku, putting in the price, and other basic descriptive categories about the item, then simply typed in "SCREENT" as the product name that would show up on the receipt. Task completed, she walked back to her register, not knowing what she just did, I checked out, paid and walked out of there with a huge smile on my face! Not because I'm endorsing what the shirt stands for or anything, but basically because I saw it as a good goal from the first time I read the post on The Consumerist to try and get one of these shirts if I ever had the oppurtunity.
I have attached a picture of the shirt laid out on my coffee table. I don't have a camera phone, so I couldn't snap any pics at the store...I hope this pic doesn't scream fake, as in I might have already had a shirt...I tried taking a picture of the receipt but the words are unreadable. If you guys absolutely want to see it, I can scan it. Anyways, hope you can post this, it would be my first internet 15 minutes...errr maybe seconds, of fame! Thanks!!"

You would think these would be easier to get off the shelves than anime porn. They don't even have any tentacles that you need to pry. — BEN POPKEN
