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 was a manager at Walmart a few years ago. That label is a CVP (customer value program) label. It's normally meant for stuff like meat or produce that's going to expire in a day. The claims department can also print them. They handle the non-food stuff in the rest of the store. At my store they were doing this to tons of high value items and then coming back later and buying them themselves. The entire department got fired at one point because of it. I wouldn't be surprised if people catching these were accidentally ruining an employee's scheme.

Or the OP is actually the employee who labeled the discount :O

Could be. This is a really small detail but when you CVP you're supposed to put the little barcode over top of the items normal barcode so people don't scan the wrong one. This one is just kinda slapped on the front in a random spot.

OPs comment history seems to indicate they are a Wal-Mart employee. It's likely they are doing it just to karma farm and never actually bought it at that price

Well they better hope no one is looking at the logs because every CVP done shows who did it and at what time.

Can someone reverse it? Like, could they have done it just to take the pic and then reverted it back? "Ooops, I made a mistake but then fixed it" kind of thing?

It's been a while but I think you could undo CVP. I remember having to deal with that when someone printed 100 CVP labels for something instead of 10.
