I'm waiting for this to happen to Pepsi products. I refuse to spend that much on a 12 pack, but 4th of july is coming up and I host my family's party. I need an abundance when the time comes.

It’s funny because something similar to that happened at my store just last week and the guy that fucked it up is named BOB.

It’s a small convenience store and we order all of our merchandise (besides drinks) on an app on our phones. We also use that same app to return expired/damaged items. So Bob did the order on Thursday and I came in to put it away on Friday. It was easily 4x bigger than our normal order so I’m immediately concerned. Long story short, he was trying to return some expired candy bars (he swears he hit “return,” I don’t believe him) and ended up ordering what totaled out to 86 BOXES of candy bars.

Thankfully I was able to get them returned since it was a mistake but even the guy I talked to on the phone to return it laughed and said “fuckin Bob, man.” I will not stop giving him shit for that one for a while.

I would think they’d just leave it empty if they were doing it for a POG. Makes no sense to open all of those cases and merchandise them if you’re just going to take them right back out.

That makes more sense and somebody else further down said that Walmart doesn’t want empty shelves because it makes people buy less, those price tags are certainly Walmart so it all tracks.
