Well, sure enough, I organized all of my loose cards needing to be put into binders on Friday afternoon, and I got some new cards to put in the boxes that evening.
4 or 5 days ago, we went to our local Wally-World. They have been remodeling for a few months and they switched the aisles the last 2 or 3 times we were there. The cards haven’t been anywhere for a few trips, but this time, they were restocking them when we were there. Basically in the same spot, might I add. I see some ladies putting the blasters and packs on the aisle and I quickly spot 2023 Chrome, and asked them if they were available to purchase. The lady said no because they were restocking the aisle and it would be a few hours. I don’t get it. They are in the store. They are most likely in the system as the product has been out for a while. Kind of like that episode of Futurama where Fry was like ‘Please take my money!’ We left and I figured we would go back in a week or so, and I knew what would happen.
So Friday was closer to 3 days since then, and Karen calls me on her way home from work and she stopped at Wal-Mart to pick up some things we needed. She went to the card aisle, and my prediction was true and the flipper assholes purchased all of the Chrome. They had ‘22 Chrome, ‘23 Allen & Ginter, ‘23 Prizm, and a few others. Out of everything, I had enough ‘22 Chrome, ‘23 Prizm doesn’t have a really nice looking design in my opinion, and I quit Allen & Ginter years ago. They had more blasters of ‘22 Bowman Platinum, so I asked Karen to get me one.
That’s all I have for today. Thanks for checking out my latest post.

Yeah, I had the same thing happen...can't buy any blasters when they're restocking, and restocking takes a ridiculously long time for such a small section. I guess there was a point at the height of the pandemic where this was necessary as people were going nuts trying to get any product they could, but when you've had to mark the blasters down to $17, maybe that time has passed?
ReplyDeleteI ran into a similar situation a month or so back. He didn't tell me I couldn't get anything, but he was super rude and just seemed like he would be better off doing something different for an income.
ReplyDeleteWay late to posting, but I do know (from my Target interactions with the stockers) that they have to clean up the aisle (make sure all the products are where they should be), then catalog it and take pictures to send to their bosses. I think their management has to approve it before they can leave. Maybe it depends on the stocker, knowing that a box here or there isn't gonna matter overall.
ReplyDeleteBTW, glad you got your car fixed and your hot water issues solved!
