See, that's what I noticed about my local ones lately, they may miss the occasional weird guide, but the rest are yanked. Or, if I find ONE pennied guide, they proceed to scan and check every other guide on the floor till they find the rest anymore.
Before, I used to be able to pick my local stores clean without so much as one person having a kinipshit over me finding a pennied guide. But now....since the crackdown, they've even go so far as to yank the unstickered GOW II guide out of my hand and go back to media and grab a stickered one that rings up full price, since the other one rang up a penny.
