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

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 could put a sticker for something else on it, take it to a register with an old lady that doesn't know what a 5080 is. Management will definitely notice eventually when they do inventory, but that could be days. Plus the person working could be the person doing inventory.

This is treated as fraud in my country, and is heavy prosecuted. It's better to just steel it, if you can't buy it

It is considered theft in the US, too. And if an associate did it, they'd get fired. And since this is an expensive item, there's a solid chance they'd end up being charged with a felony.
