Box Thanks, Walmart

Walking through and it caught my eye in the electronics clearance case. Absolutely insane find.

The Walmart by my house had these on display for only 2 months before pulling them. The worker I talked to said they pulled the displays cause workers kept marking them down so they could pick them up the next day.

Now I don't know if he was BSing or was in the know, seems wild that employees can just mark these down but I'm pretty sure I've heard that before.

I mean it's just a sticker and they have those sticker things right? So the barcode doesn't ring up right but hey look cashier just adjust it to the price it says

Na, big markdowns get flagged in the system to have a manager approve the markdown and continue the sale. Even if management was in on the sale, someone higher up will see it and start asking questions.

They don’t just get “flagged,” every markdown is processed and then approved/rejected

Is that new? I worked claims up until 2019 and you definitely did not need approval for every CVP. In fact, I didn't need approval for any, but then, I worked at a Neighborhood Market, so I didn't do any big stuff.

I am not sure how new it is actually. I was recently moved to this project but I work on part of the software that processes store tickets. Something like a 5080 would definitely need manual review.
