[Crazy Jetty]

Having been an employee of walmart (Where the toy manager was piss poor at their job, not having the slightest clue about the products they were selling. You have to practically breathe produce to work in the produce department, it should be the same in all departments), I'd see cases of hot items sit in the back for months. Never getting stocked, while the shelves stayed empty for weeks at a time.

I remember when the final wave of TF Universe voyagers came out, and almost no one could find Inferno, we had a case sitting in the backroom. I spent two months begging the people in the toy department to put it out. Or begging a manager to either let me get Inferno, or to make them stock the case.
So at the very least, my store had the reverse of this problem. People so incompitant a their jobs, they never knew what they had.

As a former store employee, I have to agree with the basic idea behind this thread. Employees buying cases to blackmarket them is rediculous. However, there are employees that are real collectors like us, too. I'd buy up an entire wave of DCUC, or TF Universe. But only because they were things I collected. (And my store was so aweful at stocking what they had, I'd end up buying them from other stores, anyway.)
