You can bet your bottom dollar that penn isn't going to stop selling to Walmart. In fact they initally adopted the program to protect their Brick & Mortar retailers from the internet retailers. But that has already been declared a failure since they caved in to some of their internet retailers like Shark River Mail Order. Make no mistake about it, the program had nothing to do with protecting the consumers. They get screwed on the deal the only ones that got anything out of it ws the small B&T shops.
