But yeah, that's a lot of Plague Honey. I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but who else feels the vehicon mold should be taking up that spot?

At least those are First Edition Bees. They could fetch some dollars on ebay.

Oh boy...
That is a really stupid thing to do.
The only purpose it will serve is to piss of the workers. Because by hiding these toys, they will not sell. If they don't sell, THEY DONT GET CLEARED OUT OF THE SYSTEM. As far as that Walmart's main computer know, those pegs are still full with The Hive.
The end result is it will take LONGER for these pegs to be filled with new stock.
Now, time to punish your thoughless action:

if they dont feel like restocking i guess they are on a scavenger hunt. if they find them and put them back im doing the same thing until they restock. i am also writing a nasty letter.

I'd say it's not an entirely stupid move, but it is ballsy. Considering they could probably cause you some legal trouble if they caught you doing it.
There is the hope that they'll think the 20 or so yellow b@$^@&)s have been shoplifted and put out more stock and order new stock. Don't think I'd risk that myself though.

The key here is removing the physical inventory in a very obvious manner!
I personally, would like to....smash them! I imagine knocking that crap-load of Bees off the pegs with one mighty enraged swipe of my arm, then I picture stomping on each and EVERY package, crushing the bubble and plastic toy inside into unusable, unrecognizable yellow plastic shards while screaming NO MORE BUMBLEBEE! over and over. I would then move onto the next store, and the next, rinse and repeat. People would run screaming from the stores to escape the shrapnel of my Bumblebee destroying fury....
Of course this fantasy involves me being able to get away with public destruction and vandalism and such. Not bloody likely, that, but a satisfying fantasy.
I assume that David Banner should not become a TF collector.

If that is Walmart, there is a Dept Mgr that goes through scanning holes once a week, if the stock is "said" to be in store, they are to check (or delegate) backstock. If none are in backstock, they are assumed missing and manual order is placed.

The only downside…manual orders take 1 to 2 weeks to process (I am fuzzy on the timeframe, but I know it takes a while). It's been a long time and each department has their own timeframe.

That Bot wrote:They don't order more because they've got plenty in stock. It doesn't matter if all they have is 200 Bumblebees, to them, that's 200 Transformers so they're good for a while. I think the only thing that could really be done to remedy the situation is to buy all the Bumblebees and resell them at a loss. That way the computer registers that they've sold 20 Transformers and it's time to restock.
That Bot wrote:Yeah, honestly you'd be better off just buying the stuff online, but buying up all the Bees would be a generous move for the less fortunate kiddies whose mom and dad don't know about BigbBadToyStore or TFSource.
