How is it even possible? Manager must have been drunk or stupid to approve that. When we price match usually we just need an ad and thats it but, for something like they'd need an override and proof. $89.99 for a hot item that's usually $299? That should be a red alert that this deal is BS. Theres no excuse. Cashiers can't ring up these consoles because they are not allowed to leave electronics, and the associate selling this should know the product.

If you work at Walmart, most likely you don't give a shit about protecting the company, knowing products and so on. The pay scandals, various news items and profiles about Walmart basically showcase morale of its on-the-ground employees as below rock bottom.

I'm seriously worried about Walmart here. Will they be ok financially after this debacle?

I'm sure they'll find new and interesting ways to exploit either their customers or employees. They'll be fine.

that was the funniest thread of the year

Man, I can't believe it's been a year since I got my TV. Time flies.

I would never be able to do something like this. I mean what if you get caught? What if one of the employees knows exactly what you're doing and points it out? Talk about embarrasment.

One reason why I don't give two poops about any one who took advantage of their policy. I very much dislike Wal-Mart. I wish I could have gotten in on this.

I don't care about X, therefore it's okay to steal.

X has a lot of money, therefore it's okay to steal.

C'mon guys.
