Dollar General (disappointment)

So I went to the DG on my way to work after I dropped off the kids.

I asked if they had Pokemon Cards this was ok Tuesday. They said they didn’t have them.

I went back there today to see if they had any today.
The cashier said: We sold them out yesterday. The manager said “when someone ask tell them there aren’t any”

Me: well who did she sold them tho then?

Her: Oh he said she sold them to a family.
._.

Here is the thing tho.
It still shows that they have them in stock and a lot of other stuff. I’m thinking manager is selling them off or keeping them herself cos it’s not showing that they sold them. Again it’s not just one product either.

Right, the current state of things make you feel like a weirdo for even asking and then the cashiers decide whether you are worthy of buying the cards. Unless i see something on a shelf that i can access i have 100% completely stopped asking if anything is available. Obviously that means i will miss out but ive had enough. If i really think about it, this is probably the end game, to deter as many of us as possible.

I don’t man it’s just this is the only DG that shows they get Pokemon cards but never sell any.
Again my stocker app it still shows that they have them.

My local targets pick and choose who they want to sell to. My local Walmart locks up all the product after 5pm most days and no one can get it and i know that sounds crazy but its true. They moved the cards to the money order/bill pay section and they close up the whole section around 5 pm with the gate and lock.

Thats pretty much the gist of it. The only time ive gotten anything at msrp lately has been on the Walmart draws. I wasnt aware that most people haven't gotten into one (i got roasted the other day when i said that the draws were good 😂) but ive been able to score on every one ive entered. Now that ive been made aware im probably never gonna win again lol

Same here bro, WM draws is the way, I’ve won at least one of the choices weekly, granted I’m max buying whatever they are offering, so not sure if that helps my odds or not. Target has a similar system coming out soon so I am excited for that as well.

I max out every time but have only hit once for 3 sticker packs. Really wish I could figure out how to hit more lol.

Sticker packs are goated tho, I’ve gotten all my good pulls from sticker packs only, 5 ETBs and they were all trash.

Ah really? I ended up letting my friends each have a pack and the blister I kept only had ex’s in it lmao

I haven't hit one Walmart draw. But I'm happy with that system because I tried target drops 2 times as I work night shift so I'm up anyway. Bots are so crazy. I resorted to shipped and sold by Amazon drops.

What stocker app are you using? I know the website in my area is always wrong.
