(NOTE - Sometimes they keep the tests in the locked cabinet with the nicotine gum/patches).
But... good luck calling a WM and getting an answer. That will never happen. Target stores may be worth checking with.
Also... consider towns on the outskirts of the metro. Many covid deniers in those parts see no reason to buy a test. (But don't go to small towns and look for horse-gut worm poison. That's a hot seller in those parts.).
Good luck! I went on an epic quest trying to find tests a few weeks ago. Hit every single CVS and every single WalMart NM on the north/northwest side of OKC and came away empty handed. The websites showed in-stock at almost every store, and they only had empty shelves.
My SO actually DID Find tests at the CVS on NWXY. Another friend got them at the CVS on 122nd/May Ave area. However, both cases were just fortuitous timing & great luck.
