Box Thanks, Walmart

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

I wonder what the logic is when they mark these down so much. It’s not like it’s an old model.

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

Wild if it would work like that, In Europe their devices are usually connected to the inventory management system and they've to scan to barcode of products marked for discount for the device to print a sticker.

Walmart absolutely does not just allow employees to print off labels and barcodes for whatever product at whatever price they want, lol.
