Yea I probably talked a bit outta my ass(i know I do it often so it’s come to be expected) because I’ve never worked retail so I haven’t a clue about that. The Sentence “the fact that there is no one retail employee that can earn a living wage working one job” is the truest sentence I’ve ever read. I’ve never really had a problem with retail in general just Walmart. The only part that truly bothers me is when going to ask an employee any type of question before halfway thru it I get a exaggerated Sigh and “what do you want” 95% of the time. And when being shown Swapped figures at the service desk I’ve gotten “well what do you want us to do” only to come back the next day and have them on the same Pegs.
Target Employees are top notch in my experiences. Which further proves what boy blunder said. I think it’s mainly corporate Walmart that’s truly the problem that trickles down and effects lower employees. Possibly due to what you’ve said the “Pay” and the “worn down from being expected to do the job of 3”

^^^Sorry for the long ass paragraph haha.

Anyway back onto figs, before Half the chat gets wiped again.
Has any actually found Alex Ross Caps at Walmart or anywhere yet?

I haven't worked at Target or Walmart personally, I've worked at Macy's, JCP and Safeway and none of those companies are particularly kind to their employees. I've known people who worked at Walmart, who have said that employees are often kept past their shift to clean and straighten merch, especially during the holidays, and while yes you get paid OT, your OT is also heavily taxed. The policy with returns when I worked at JCP was to just do it and make the customer happy. We took back clearly worn clothes, open packages, things that were missing vital pieces etc. The returns were sorted and returned to the selling floor as long the items were still in sell-able condition, like those Paladins, and they'd sit there until they were clearanced out and RTV'd. It's possible that there isn't anything an employee can do about swapped figures.

No sign of that Cap in stores yet. I know they had the option on the site to sign up for a notification when they got him back in stock

Remember kids when someone steals that item YOU pay for it in the long run. I still can’t figure out why hasbro went with easy steal packing, you notice you never see any of the vintage series repacked on shelves.

I've worked with managers who have had to hold down two jobs to cover the cost of housing their families. The job market being good right now is besides the point, when you have to have 2-3 jobs to keep a roof over your head and food on the table, that's a problem. Check your privilege.
