Ok, im getting to the point of this. I am about 99%, oh hell, im certain, that many of the employees and at least one manager at my local TRU has made a turn to the dark side. What i mean is that he and a few of his workers appear to be aiding the bad guys(scalpers) in getting all of the new figures that come out in his store... i dont know if they pay a bit more for them or if it is somehting else, but there is obviously something odd going on around here... listen to what happened, and tell me what you think...
it all started about a week ago, when i was at a tru and they said they were going to be getting in some new stock or figures wihtin a few days... i came back when they were suppose to have them, and they had gotten in a new wave of figures, the bespin wave and more, as i later came to see, but at the time they came in i didnt know what they were, i just saw boxes in the back of the store... i asked a worker when they were putting them out, and he says, not till tomorrow, around 12-1 pm... ok, thats all nice im thinking, so i go back the next day at around noon, and wait and wait, until almost 2, and nothing. i asked prolly 8 people and they all said they were getting around to it. but i was impatient. i got my gf to go out in the car and use my cell phone to call the store. she asked about the new figure shipment, and the store told her that they had already put them out at 12 or so. but i had been there the whole time. lol
:sur: they lied to her for no reason. i waited a little while longer and didnt see anything going on so i left. next day... i call in the morning, this time i talk and its the female manager, the one who i mentioned in a post before that said she couldnt do anything about the guy who mutilated figs becuase she didnt see it. she says that the figures are going to be put out later in the day and that they didnt have time yesterday... she said she was sure, real sure. so i go back to tru, again. this time im there when they open, and theres nothing. i have a friend with me this time, and my gf, and my friend trys to aks and he gets no reply... i wait till almost 12 and theres nothing. i go get lunch and come back at 1, theres nothing, not on the shelves anyway. so i ask another person who is there, and they say that they will be putting them out later... ugh, by this point i was so frustrated with these people that i just left... but as i was leaving.... i saw a guy at the cash register, and he had figures... upon closer examination, they were not just any figures, they were lukes, vaders, yodas, and a few dookus. probobly a total of 10-12 figs in all of those combined. so i asked him where he found them and he says, "on the racks over there, there were a bunch of them before when i got here"... but see, i was the first person at the store that day... there was nothing like what he had on the pegs. so anyway, i left confused, and today i called and what the person who picked up the phone said really made me laugh out loud. you wont believe it! the guy says that they NEVER HAD ANY NEW SHIPMENTS since a few weeks ago, and that some guy(maybe a sales rep as it was described) has to come in and take note of how much stock has been sold before the store can order more. ive never heard of that, although it could be correct, but if that were true then the guy i saw messing up figs would not have had a yoda or anything else and i wouldnt have found a bent up bloody luke, and the guy in line wouldnt have had his 10-12 figures... either the tru workers are brain dead, or this is some sort of retail mafia... :Pirate:
