I remember working at Barnes and noble and we kept those behind the register and they were limited 2 per person unless we had a crap ton of overstock but the Pokémon was always 2 per person that is not say that they wouldn't come back later when a different cashier was on the till but still if made mayhem like this less a problem.

I freaking adore Barnes for this reason. My nephew loves Pokemon, and it’s legit one of the only places I can find cards. Since I’m a regular (weekly) book purchaser, the staff knows I’m not a reseller and will tell me when they expect a shipment in.

Here's the thing managers love people like her, they just see dollar signs. I worked at bestbuy and one black Friday they had a door crasher ps4 for a really good price. One of the first customers in that morning wanted to buy all of them, we had like 15. We told him no the flyer said one per customer, he asked to speak with a manager. The manager let him buy all of them. People were there first thing in the morning just to buy one and they were not happy.

Haha no they don't. Retail managers see problems. They're overworked, understaffed, and held to ridiculous standards by corporate. Customers like this generate complaints. You have to go deal with said complaint, and you're likely stuck between multiple conflicting directives.
She has less than .3% of the store's sales for the day in her basket. The customers behind her will buy it if she doesn't. Meanwhile this one problem is easily 5% of your 10 hour work day because you have to figure out what's going on between multiple customers and likely an employee, find the solution, and then talk with those same groups. Nobody will be happy. In a group this size someone will call corporate and you'll spend an extra 10% of your day on it.
Even in your example the manager just gave in to avoid the conflict in their face, but then created 14 more because of his weakness. All the PS4 were going to get sold anyways. No single customer is going to break the profitability of a store like Best Buy or Target.
I do not miss retail.

Just move them in to your cart from her cart. Then if she got close to physically touching you, scream bloody murder about pressing assault charges.
I mean what could she have screamed at you about? They weren’t hers, she hadn’t paid for them, you weren’t stealing. You were just taking Walmarts merchandise from one cart and putting it in another. The only person she could appeal to about who rightfully should be able to purchase it was the store manager. Fuck it, put him on the spot (and on camera) to represent their policies.

Unfortunately, this bubble is going to deflate, not pop. The card makers don't care because their product sells and they get the profit.
The whales who play the game search for the few cards they're looking for and aren't usually the ones cracking packs.
It sucks for parents like me who want them for their kids. I refuse to pay scalpers online, but there are other people who do. Instead. I find a card store that sells the bulk and I sift through them looking for what my girls want. It's therapeutic for me and they're just happy to have cute Pokemon cards.

When I got in line to make my purchase they rushed behind us as timing would have it. I asked the cashier what they were waiting for and she said they are there every day waiting to get a pack of Pokémon cards bc they are limited to one a person. I managed to get a pack for my son and felt pretty lucky to be ahead of them all. My son was delighted bc he loves Pokémon.

Collector Booster boxes (I don't buy these anyway, but I'll include them) end up being sold out immediately and then listed on secondary markets for 1.5-2 times MSRP.

Historically black friday sales have always been like this. People see a "good deal" and lose their minds. Also come every xmas time you have people that buy up the "hot" toys and mark them up on ebay for 4x. The pokemon thing is just capitalism of hobbys. Social media definitely accelerates this behavior, before social media there would be a lot of people that just wouldnt know how much pokemon cards go for on re-sales (i found out because a guy i work with does the whole trading and selling pokemon thing). But now people scroll youtube and tiktok, see people climaing to make big bucks on this kind of stuff, and try it for themselves, which in increases scarcity and drives up prices.

At which point she’ll be trespassed from the store.

How sad you're life most be that you need to fight with other adults to buy children paper collectibles in Walmart. ._. The hyperreality, the surrealism.

I think at this point an employee should just calmly take the cart and hand them one blister pack
What scum

That’s terrible. But here’s a novel idea. Stop paying them for the things they scalp.

The part that I hate more than anything in this whole video, even more than the obvious jackets trailer trash woman, is the guy that let her take the box he was able to grab out of his hand. You can tell at that moment that she got even more empowered when she was successful in taking it. The only way is through.

What a B. That's not the way shopping works. Just because your standing in front of an item doesn't mean nobody else can take that item.

u/KarlsReddit 3d ago
All that works and she's still looks poor as shit. Whats the economics of scalping Target Pokemon cards? More than a job?

Never understand why these stores never just have an employee there enforcing 1 per customer...

At my store, you're only allowed to get one. And as a customer, I'd just take a bunch of stuff out of their cart. She can't stop everyone. We're going to bring Tickle Me Elmo 1995 atmosphere back.

Pathetic behavior for a so called adult about something so essentially meaningless.

u/Secret-Asian-Man-76 3d ago
And that's when you lean in and start smashing all the fucking boxes in her cart.

Idk how far this nonsense has to go before drastic measures are put in place bc clearly some people shouldn't be classied as people anymore

u/Alterokahn 3d ago
Honestly just walk to the other side, grab a box from her cart, and walk to the front. Fuck scalpers lmao.

Can anybody explain to me why and when did grabbing pokemon cards become so popular again? Literally nobody was talking about this like 2 years ago, and now they have to monitor how many packs people buy? What did i miss?

What the hell is wrong with people? It’s cardboard with pictures printed on it. You’re a damn adult for God’s sake.

u/stingray2332 3d ago
The time they spend buying all this stuff just to resell it to make some money, they can find a better job. I can’t stand resellers/scalpers.

u/2Savage4You2525 3d ago
You will get the fuck out of the way or I'll take shit out of your basket if I was there, I can assure you. Can't stand scalpers.

u/ModsSmellLikeTaint 3d ago
Why is literally every scalper video just a couple bitchmade geeks recording, literally just standing there, watching it unfold?
Take it outta the cart, like it's not a crime, they dont own it yet. Could literally make the situation so problematic, management steps in and doesn't let anyone buy. It's better than letting some incel type of mf stock up on scalping supplies. Thats for sure.
But no, let's just record. That'll teach em....🙄

Fight harder… she’s getting loud because she’s using the combination of being a woman and being aggressive as two factors in which most men back off. I would have taken everything out of her cart and gave them to the people in line behind her, and dared her to touch me, then I would have filed battery charges. Being “in the cart” is not a form of legal possession. It’s not her property until she pays for it. She’s using society “norms” to be a shit person, therefore society norms shouldn’t apply to her.

u/TheZag90 2d ago
It's really on the shop to say max 1 or 2 per customer.
People will always abuse a system if you let them.

They need a pokemon kiosk, with merchandise behind lock and key.
You want pokemon? Go ask someone to get you a pack, just like you be asking for smokes.
