i just had an issue today at Zellers (cdn version of Target)
i was there last night buying clothes for my birthday, and stopped by the toy dept. nothing new. This morning i had to pick up my aunts prescription ( she gets hella lots of club Z points this way) and stopped by the toy dept again, for kicks. NEW G.I JOES!! loked like 2 cases of 5 packs and older dvd packs now that i'm back into customs. and the 5 packs were on sale for $19.99, i decided to get a cobra set for the viper, and Baroness. opened the flap BAM VvV Baroness in place of the 25th one, and a brick of LEGO in the place for the vipers backpack. now, here's the thing. THESE JUST WENT OUT over night. there WAS NO TIME for a re-packer to do this between 7pm last night, and 8am this morning and have the item back on the shelf. this came from the back room, from a case, so i have to suspect that it came from another store, OR A STORE EMPLOYEE IS DOING THE SWAPS. chilling to think that an employee is probably doing this, and that its alot less likely he'd get caught if he works the dept. |

I think it's a combination of returns and possible store employees. In your case it makes sense that a store employee would do it before stocking the shelf, but that means, he either new what he was stocking that night or kept a VvV Baroness with him at all times, just in case.
Or it could have been a return that went to the back before it was returned to the shelf.

Your right it does sound like an employee swapped the figures. Honestly it doesn't surprise me though. At my local Walmart a guy in the back takes all of the good Star Wars and GI Joe fig's before the cases hit the sales floor.........

That sucks...its best not to think to deeply on how it happened...Last summer I found a DOC hanging on the peg at Target...WHY and HOW does THAT happen?!? It wasnt in their system when I scaned it at the price checker thing, and I told an employee.He wrote the number down off the shelf tag and told me to give it to the register person up front. and the best thing? 4.99 sale. HOW did someone return it if it wsnt in the computer as a Target item?
