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.

I will admit this are really well done. but yes I would just as I know they would hold me responsible for my neglegece. make a mistake like that at any job and reprimands will happen. I was in quality control for a big bakery so if I can see that a bun has the wrong amount of seaseme seeds or is a shade too dark or light a person can ell that a figure doesn't fit right in a box or that shit is missing. just cause someone isn't paid 10 bucks an hour isn't an excuse to not do a job to the best of your ability.
