One of the two new Walmart locations in D.C. will change a sign that informs English speakers they may check out 25 items and Spanish speakers they may check out 20.
A spokesperson for the company told Buzzfeed the sign, posted about on Twitter, was “an honest mistake.”
@erickmsanchez Thanks for bringing this to our attn. It was an honest mistake & we’ve changed the signage & replaced it w/ the correct #.
