First off, I am one of the 3 whitewolf talks about earlier and there are many things wrong with his story that I want to clarify here. First off, only one person complained about you guys having the figures stashed in the office for over a week. I do know the guy who complained and admit to having a hand in him knowing you guys had the figures stashed in the front. The person who complained wasn't there the day the other two of us saw you and another person I'll leave unnamed divying up a case in the office in the front of the store. I was actually grateful that you let me get one of the Boba fetts from the case. I certainly wouldn't purposefully do anything to get you in hot water after you did something like that. If others had complained, I can assure you it wasn't Sean or I. The fact that you could see a stack of TAC figures sitting in the office when there are none on the shelves could have prompted others to complain, but that is in no way linked to anyone you taked about earlier. Further, this had absolutely nothing to do with your toy reviews and it is absurd to postulate that it did.
Having said all that, I firmly support the one guy who did complain. Having figures stashed some place means that the computer thinks they are in stock. This means no automatic reorders. So while you're scraping your pennies together to buy a few action figures, those of us who have ample disposable income to feed our collecting habit whenever we want are left with nothing to buy. Also, it's not like we come in once a week and expect to find new figures. I collect with a group of 3 others in the area and one of us hits every main store in the area just about every day. I will say, that I agree that one of the (only) perks of working a retail job should be a first shot at the stock...but only if you can actually buy them.
Please don't look at this in a bad way. I actually thought you were a nice guy when we met and I'd like to reitierate that I had no intentions of causing problems. You cannot, however, expect everyone to react the same way to employees of a retail establishment keeping the very product they are trying to sell for themselves and out of the customers hands.
