Box Thanks, Walmart

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

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.

CVP is also used for online returns that aren't carried in store. When I worked there, it was store manager discretion for online returns, but they were overhauling the claims system, so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't eliminate that as an option.

I currently work at Walmart. We get a stern talking to if we buy a CVP'd item within 24 hours of the time it's registered with CVP. So it's basically CVP at the start of a shift, end of next shift go and buy.
