I passed a display of crackers. Should I ask the store manager to remove them?

and put them in my shopping cart.
The Riggs Road Walmart (in northeast DC, a short walk from the Ft. Totten Metrorail stop) is the only place I can find them. No other Walmart nearby has them. I take the train to Ft. Totten, walk to the Walmart, get the grits, and head back to northern Virginia.
The Walmarts in northern Virginia do not stock them. I've looked.

I was at a restaurant in California years ago and my young Type 1 diabetic daughter began having low blood sugar. Knowing that it would take some time to get food, I explained the situation to a waitress and asked for some 'crackers' as soon as possible. She left with a quizzical look on her face and I saw her talking to the manager (who was obviously not native and had a thick Eastern European sounding accent) who came over to our table where I explained the situation again and made my requests for 'some crackers.'
Don't know what they thought was going on, but a minute later the waitress came over with 4 sets of ------------ the nutcracker-type devices used to open crab legs. After a laugh we managed to get some Saltines.
How else are you going to get your walnuts open, stomp on them with your shoes?
