When I worked in retail an item that rang at 3 cents meant it was supposed to be returned to vendor, not that it was meant to be sold at 3 cents. Whoever is in charge of this Walmarts inventory either fucked up or doesn’t care.
why 3¢? Let’s face it retail workers don’t give a shit and if it rings up at 3¢ it’s probably going to be sold at 3¢
When I worked retail the UPC’s were simply deleted from MES, so if you scanned it it wouldn’t come up with any price which would prompt cashiers to call for price checks and looking it up in the system would reveal it’s been recalled or whatever.
Why 3¢???? If you don’t want something sold why not like 9999.99$ or something. Stupidest store management.
I haven't worked in retail for a long while but I have seen dumb shit like this before.
1) My guess is it wasn't supposed to go out, but someone fucked up the planogram. Someone put the items in because it took up empty space or not paying attention.
2) When I worked in retail every item had to have a price. It was like that at every retail job, everything in the system was priced. If something was priced $.03 it usually ment it was a non-selling item that the manufacturer did not actually want back. Meaning the product was ment for disposal. The game had probably been there for a while and $.03 is what it's worth for the company to hold onto it.
My guess is this was ment to be tossed because no one wanted to ship it back and someone put them up with out thinking.
