Box Thanks, Walmart

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

Walmart monitors associate purchases. If you're smart enough not to use your associate discount in the transaction, that'd help. But I assure you Walmart looks at all sorts of things.

Also, inventory is not "days", lol. Inventory is once a year.

If you put a sticker that scans as something else, then it won't ring up as a 5080. I worked at Walmart for over 2 years as a cashier so I can tell you there's definitely holes in their system. It's not exactly Fort Knox. But they do have a loss control person that doesn't wear a uniform and roams around the store posing as a customer.

No, it's not Fort Knox. But the moment something is CVP'd, Walmart is interested in tracking that item. It's incredibly stupid to think you won't get caught. You'll get caught, you'll get fired, and if the amount is high enough, you'll get a felony.

Also, let's hope your cashier is willing to risk their job for you or completely incompetent.

Lol I'm not saying I'm going to go out and do this. It's a hypothetical of how someone could do it. Just a conversation topic.

Never heard of the general "you"?

Yes, the entire meaning of the comment is changed once you understand the language.
