Went to wal-mart last night to do the usual check of TF's and i was gonna get classics Devastator cause they sttill have about 30 of them here in my town of lubbock, texas anyway i went to the toys and the shelf was bare except for 3 barricade robot replicas so i asked the lady when they where going to get more transformers she said that corporate sent a letter saying they would not recieve anymore toys till september i said ok know damn well that was not true so i was walking down the isle again and the night stockers were bringing the new pallets to restock everything so i decided i would look on the pallets at first all i saw was stupid fantastic for stuff and star wars transformers but when moved a couple of boxes i found a box of voyagers so i asked one of the guys iff he could open it and he said no because some of the stuff on the pallet was not to be sold yet i let him see the box and it had the original june release date so he still said no and walked away so as soon as he was gone i opened the box to see if i could find either a megs or optimus and loe and behold there was one megs in the box so just to be nice i put the others out and looked for anymore toys to put out cause their were a couple kids looking for tf's and i felt bad so i looked nothing anyway i get to the register and they had to get a manager to check me out and he said "sir i don't know where you found this but this is not suppose to be out but im going to sell it to you anyway" how much garbage is that anyway the best bet to find figures at wally world is to go at night when they are putting out the pallets at least this time it worked

Walmart is full of assholes.

You did the right thing. Good on ya!

I'd go to the manager and complain about those members of staff too if I were you. DO NOT take **** from shelf stackers. Ever.

yeah i actually complained about the ady and the manager said that this was the 4th complaint he recieved about her not checking for customers and that he was going to talk to her about getting suspended

Good. It's nice to know that at least the manager intends to do his job.

Don't forget to complain about the bloke too.

The customer is always right.

I had to do the same thing to get my Ironhide, except I was so frustrated I opened the box in front of the stocker, he told me I wasnt allowed to do that, and I told him their shoudnt be a problem if I was going to buy it. He huffed and walked away.

Sentences and paragraphs are your friends! Sucks you had to put up with that kind of crap though.

I walked into a Toys R Us last night and they had about 8 voyager Megs on the shelves. Not sure why Wal Mart would think they need to keep them off the floor.

And the manager should get fired because they should not be discussing disciplinary actions with customers. I don't think they can legally.

My Wal-Mart only had protoforms Starscream and Prime, and then about a hundred and fifty Voyager Megs (warning: slight exaggeration)

I'm an over-night stocker at wal mart and thats quite appaling i talked to a guy looking for tfs the other night and made sure to let him know that i was in the same boat. The price tags and everything have been set up for about a week and nothing at all in the back or anywhere in the store.
