<BR>
Hello, this is Kathy Rawa from Egg Harbor City, NJ, giving you the following information which I brought up on your teleconference call in August and on Vincent Chaney's teleconference call last month, when you were a guest.<BR>
<BR>
While at Walmart in Mayslanding, NJ, I requested a sighted person to look for a sign regarding guide dogs. On a small sign, blue background and white letters read the following:<BR>
"Service Animals Welcome - Report Problems -<BR>
800-963-8442"<BR>
<BR>
Well, I did call and attempted to learn more about this. The people answering are a third party Global Compliance Group, working with Walmart Ethics. They said I should call, if I had not done prior to this call, Walmart Customer Service. The number given, 1-800-925-6278. They respond on Central Time: Monday-Friday 7am-9pm; Saturday 9am-9pm; and Sunday 1pm-6pm. <BR>
<BR>
I had no success. I went through the whole menu and was right back where I started calling the first number of the 3rd party Hotline.<BR>
<BR>
When I first called the gentleman I spoke of, his name was Chris. Sorry this all the information I can give you. I do not know why this sign is on the door. Employees I spoke to outside seem to be aware of this sign -- why I cannot find out.<BR>
<BR>
I hope this helps.<BR>
<BR>
Sincerely,<BR>
Kathy Rawa and Dorito</FONT></HTML>
