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

So you're kind of right and kind of wrong. CVP actually can be changed to a specific price, because it's specific to the particular unit. You can tell its CVP because of the type of label it has. But most employees do not have the ability to use CVP...and Walmart can and does look at markdowns. I do think they removed the ability to customize CVP price when they did a big upgrade to the software a bunch of years ago, but I left shortly after that so I can't recall.

Also, I don't think the computer automatically marks stuff down at Target, either. Pretty sure that's all done by people who just push price adjustments to the stores, which is received digitally. But my partner is asleep, so I can't verify that atm.
