Last week, U.S supermarket chain Target said they would not be stocking Beyoncé’s self-titled new album because it was previously released online. Now, internet marketplace giants Amazon seem to have followed suit.

NME report that the company are annoyed that they weren’t able to offer pre-sales of the record before it was released in stores. They will, however, still sell digital copies of the LP.

What has Beyoncé’s response to all this been? Well, to turn up at a local Wal-Mart and give out $50 gift vouchers of course. Watch footage of that incident beneath:
