It has that warning for everything now, and it was definitely put up when the PS/xbox came out.

I know some collectors behaved badly. But, honestly, asking an employee to get stock from the back is not an unreasonable request. Prior to Cobra Island, I used to have to ask Target and grocery stores to bring Pepsi out from the back all the time. It was never an issue. And I had great success with asking for Cobra Island figures (only getting a bit of an eye roll once).
Put the stock on the floor if it's just sitting back there. It's not that hard. And most employees on the floor at a Target, Walmart, or grocery store are engaged in stocking and restocking shelves. It's not harassment if you do it politely. You have it right, be nice about it and chances are you'll get help. Essentially helping you is what gets retail employees paid. There's a lot of reasons why stock might now be on the floor, but if you're nice about it then employees will usually attempt to get things for you in the back. The nicer you are the harder they will try for you. If you're rude they'll just go to the back, look around and come back and tell you "nope". |

Having seen a lot of the reports on here and on Facebook about how people went about "asking" employees for help I'm not surprised Joe "collectors" earned a warning. I've worked in retail for about 15 years and some of the people who have shared their experiences deserved to be thrown out of stores.

Also, thanks to customer surveys, it's easier than ever to report employees who just "come back and tell you nope".

I also never thought this wave would hit that January 1 street date anyway (although, I will admit I thought it would be out much earlier).

I'm punching numbers when I wake up but it seems like Popfindr isn't working, or at least not returning results. I thought that maybe it was because it is prior to the street date but that didn't matter in the first wave.
