I have an idea that might work for the Walmarts that refuse to carry
GI JOE. I don't know if this has been tried before. If everyone buys a joe at a walmart that does carry joes and then return it at the one that doesn't, the computer should accept the bar code on the receipt and enter the item into stock. Once that happens the employee will have to create a peg for the joe and may trigger a reorder for the item that now exists in that store. Its a long shot but it might work. I'm doing it this week. |

Good idea but I'm not sure if its how the process works....Lets hope so...Keep us updated so we can all try it if it does indeed work. I know some tankers bought up peg warmers from their local stores and returned them to stores further away they dont usually shop at. They did this in hopes that empty pegs would prompt workers to order more. With your idea I'm afraid they would take it and put it in the aisle where they put products with very little stock or just leave it sitting in the back somewhere after giving you a gift card that you spent on something else. They get their money regardless. Here's to wishful thinking. Good luck.

I'm pretty sure that's been talked about here before. It's worth a shot, especially since you've got nothing to lose except the time and effort. Let us know what happens. I might try it myself. I still can't understand the mentality of some stores deciding to not carry Joes, which have been a proven seller for deades. Meanwhile, walmarts and kmarts are overflowing with Green Lantern movie toys that they couldn't give away if they tried. But they're afraid of taking a risk on GI Joe?

even with a reciept if a store doesnt carry the item (like say for instance joes) it will be very difficult to return it to said store since the item is not on file or in that stores system. you stand a betetr chanc eof getting it INTO the system with a reciept but deifntely almost impossible without the reciept. Chances are if you tale them to a store with no joes in inventory system they may just clearance it out. Anyone confirm or refute this? Please let us know cause if it will put joes in their system i say what the hell right?

That'd be nice if infact they had anything worth a sh&t instock instead of always sold out in 5 seconds.

I wonder if this "trick" will work with the Marvel Universe Sentinel that someone returned to the WM near my office...?
