You know how most of us bitch about ignorant TRU, Wal-Mart and Target employees? Well I hate to tell you, the customers are usually the stupid ones... It's all relative to point-of-view.) From what I used to make at retail, I know that stores don't pay what other jobs do, so I let it slide when store workers snag stuff before us. The only things store employees could do that would piss me off is intentionally damaging collector items or selling them in a second market... THAT'S not fair. Otherwise, hey, have at it, so long as you're getting the figures for yourself. What sucks, is sitting there putting stock out of something YOU want, and some 40 year old grown man snagging it from you, knowing there's a 50 percent chance they're going to scalp it, or some snot-nosed kid who is guaranteed to destroy it in 10 minutes, or lose most of the parts within hours.
Hehe. Indeed. I work off-hours, so i don't have to work around customers except when I stay past 10am. There isn't many perks to this job except getting first dibs on stuff. Like I said before, if I stock something I've already bought for myself, I leave it on the shelves or pegs. I already have mine, so why buy more? I'm not made of money bags. lol
I'm a definitely not a scalper. I'd rather trade it to a fellow collector for something I need or want.
