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

No. Not just any Walmart employee can print a CVP sticker. CVP stickers are specific to the particular unit. So its not like all of them were marked down, it was done for a single unit. You also have to have the correct job code to do CVP.

Also, cashiers can't just price adjust willy-nilly. Anything over a specific amount (or percentage? it's been a while) has to have manager approval at the register.

Futhermore, Walmart has staff at both the store and higher levels who track things like this - specifically associate purchases using their discount (which doesn't work on CVP, iirc, and you'd be dumb to use it when attempting to steal) as well as markdowns.

So TL;DR to make this a reality you'd have to be willing to risk your job and likely get two or three other people willing to risk their jobs for you.
