Only walmarts that sell fish near me arn't nearly as bad as the Walmart I went to in Cecil County about a week before thanksgiving. First it was the smallest fish display Ive ever seen, second I have been blessed to rarely see ICK in real life, but this was a horrible infestation. It was a tank of Dragon Gobies and there was at least 10 in what has to have been at most a 10 gallon display with other fish. I think overall it may have been 2 40 gallon tanks (one top and one bottom) divided into 4 tiny display tanks. Its was really gross.
While at Wal-Mart Grrrrrrrr!!

Cmon man these people work at wal-mart they are lucky to know they are fish ... let alone sexing bettas. I agree its unfortunate that wal-mart still even sells fish but it would have been better to explain to them what they did wrong instead of doing it yourself.... but thats my opinion

That's how such a situation should be handled.
Anyone that says they wouldn't do something about it needs to take this saying to heart.

And again, it wasn't Walmart that housed them this way, I'm sure it was a snotty teenager who has no compassion for anything other than themselves and their own amusement.
No animal deserves to suffer, and if taking a few minutes to ease the pain of an animal, even if it is just slight, really makes a difference. Here's another one I like to live by:
