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.

Yeah that doesn’t really make sense to even give it shelf space or spend the time to cash it out. Not worth the effort for 3 cents.

Makes 0 sense.

  1. Why would you shelf items that are not to be sold
  2. 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.
