I saw him buying every Monster High doll off the shelf plus everything we had in the back when a little girl approached him and asked if she could have one of the dolls in his cart. The guy said "No, dis iz to sell in Venezuela, I half a biznes, I em sowry!"
I thought that was a huge dick move but the little girl's dad was right there and didnt do shit! He was Venezuelan too according to his hat and his shirt so I just figured Eff it! its probably a cultural thing they have. It still pisses me off though cause essentialy exporters are scalpers who take from us and supply people in other countries.
That was a dick move, if it was me I would have let that little girl have her doll, then replace it at another store.
I think I've seen that guy in your store before.
Don't exporters buy that stuff directly from distributors? It would seem to me they'd get it from them at cost, since they're buying in bulk. Doesn't TRU have some kind of policy against buying in bulk?
