I saw all three of these lovelies on the same peg at Walmart the other day. After having a good chuckle to myself, I alerted some very friendly employees who were very happy that I spotted them, and after briefly speaking with someone from their loss prevention department, said they would use the figures for training to alert others in the store to this type of return scam...






To some of you guys who are pissed off and angry about people doing this stuff, I hear ya, it makes me angry as well. It makes us hard working and honest collectors look like desperate, seedy individuals who would literally steal candy from children. Calling these employees names and for these employees to be fired however is a bit ridiculous and extreme. Many of the employees at retailers like Walmart and Target are older, or are high school or college level students starting their employment careers. Would you hold your parents or grandparents, or your significant others who take little to no interest in your hobbies to those same standards? Would you nod your head and say "Well, you deserved it," if they were fired from their jobs for such a small oversight? Very doubtful...You would more than likely be probably pissed off at the company for being so harsh with their penalties.

Remember, the people who do this are the worst type of scum, because they are purposely breaking the law (which they are) and attempting to get away with it. This is more than someone buying a toy that's defective or broken and it happening to make it's way back to the shelf due to employee negligence. This is someone who is sitting at home, drawing up a plan to purposefully and deceitfully trick someone into handing cash to them, a toy ponzi scheme if you will, because they know that 9 times out of ten, the employee doesn't know any better. The two employees that I showed these two were friendly and cordial people, who were a little shocked and embarrassed by the mishap. They also didn't know what an Agent of Hydra looked like, but I hardly think that's grounds for them to lose their job.
