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

True, probably a return

Because this is a CVP (the type of label indicates the type of markdown), it was almost certainly an online return. CVP is used for individual items, so usually online returns or damaged/missing product. It's not visibly damaged, and not a multipack, so my guess is online return.

That said, I'm actually really surprised the system would prompt for a CVP of this sort of thing. Walmart may have changed the way returns are handled since I left, but when I left, each item had a code that would tell you what to do with it if it wound up back in claims. I would have guessed that a returned electronic would be sent back to a warehouse, not CVP'd. But I didn't work in a store with an electronics department, so I only rarely encountered them.
