There was plenty of room for the figures on the shelves, and I only wanted a couple, so it would be worth the while shopping wise. Well, she says "We don't have any GI Joe toys". I pointed out the Joe toys already on the shelves and she replied "Those are new." Well, something tells me 14 BUZZERS wasn't new, considering this happened earlier last month. So I told her I was looking for the two figures (Vipers, BTW) and she had a box on the pallet. Well she came oveer with me to the pallet, looked at it and said "Those aren't GI Joes." I pointed out were it said in glorious Hasbro Box Purple, GI JOE 3.75 Inches. She told me they were Indiana Jones. I argued with her and she wouldn't change her mind, so I left, to which I heard her say "F***ing a**" when she thought I couldn't hear her anymore.
I found a manager, reported her, he opened the box and I got the two Vipers for Kalibus and went on my way.
Way to go!
I got a BS story a few weeks ago at Wal-Mart. I asked some worker (he might have been a manager) in the toy department about when they would get Joes in and he said it would be months before he had anymore. Well I came in the next week and lo and behold there was a fresh case of wave 7 in stock!
Needless to say I do not bother asking any employees and such at these stores anymore about Joes!
