So I go to Target to return some stuff. If I don't unload what I get from my hunts, after two weeks I return them and give someone else a chance to get them. Anyways, after my return I go upstairs to check the toy section. What do I see Cap America/Crossbone CP which I've never seen on the pegs before. I go to scan it and notice the bar code is a sticker. I scan and it comes up as one of the newer CP at $19.79, I scan the actual bar code and shows item not found. So I go back downstairs to customer service and ask for Loss Prevention. One of the AP guys shows up and I explain to him what's going on. Basically, someone returned an item you haven't carried since the Captain America Movie was in theaters. I let him know that I want to purchase it but wanted them to be aware. The AP guy takes the sticker and goes upstairs to check on the rest of the CPs. The young lady rings me up and it comes out to $14.99 and wasn't even charged tax.
So, I then go to the Target near my house (which has a Marshalls & TJ Maxx in the same shopping plaza). As always I go to check out the toy section, and what do I see...the xclusive CP w/ Captain America/Winter Soldier! There's two Target team members walking by and I asked them if they can call AP to the action figure section. While waiting I let the team members know that I was just at a nearby Target and saw the same thing. I showed them how the bar code is on the outside and that it's a sticker for a more expensive item and, that someone is hitting up Targets by returning old product with 'fake' bar codes. AP never came by but they took the CP thanked me for the info and said they'll have AP check into it.
So whoever is do this KNOCK IT OFF, @$$hole. I worked at Target in Asset Protection over 10 years ago, and I know how the system works. If enough Targets catch on to this they'll be an investigation on this and sooner or later you'll get caught. My team busted "Headphone Guy" for his scam with trading cards.
I ended up going home with these:
I remember headphone guy! What was his card scam?
This stuff has been going on at Target for years. I remember finding a DC Direct figure (those are not stocked by Target) at Pico Rivera Target years ago that had been returned with a sticker UPC over the real UPC. "Nothing we can do, sir" seemed to be the prevailing mentality.
By the way, happy belated Veteran's Day, Jinx!
