ASHLAND, Ky. (WSAZ) -- Shoppers and employees at Walmart were evacuated from the store in Ashland Saturday afternoon because of a bomb threat.

Boyd County dispatchers say the threat was called in around noon.

Shoppers tell WSAZ.com they were asked by police to drop all of their items and leave the store as quickly and quietly as possible.

The store was re-opened about an hour later. Dispatchers say nothing suspicious was found, and no one was hurt.

Why does WalMart sell ice cream? Melted by the time you pay for it, not enough cashiers. I dont blame cashiers, I blame upper management for trying to save a buck.

I worked @ walmart for 10 months. It is walmarts fault that these lines are long. The cashiers have to work twice has hard in these conditions and the customers take it out on the cashiers,know respect for employee or customers.
