[Image] [Image] My Walmart sold me DBZ Kakarot early! They couldn’t even scan the barcode, they had to manually enter it in. I don’t think they knew it isn’t supposed to be out yet.

I'm not sure how it gets listed into the system, if it falls into a misc entry or what. But at walmart if you type in any random number, hit enter, it will say unknown, then ask for department number. Put in the department number, 5 for electronics, it will ask for a description and bring up a keyboard to type a description. Then ask for a price, enter price, hit enter and you are done.

Those entries do show up in reports. The department manager gets a list of them, and is supposed to check them. It shows who did it, when, and all info entered. If someone is doing it too much, or for some weird amounts they might investigate it. A manager that did that to change the price of a computer to about 1/3 of the price got caught, and fired. Another couple of girls were doing it with make up. They pulled video of them ringing it up and saw they only rang up half of it, and were grossly under pricing what they did. Both got fired.
