[Freeze Time]

I guess I do then, there's always someone in the electronic area when I'm there.

Someone being there and someone actually helping are 2 different things.

your right, they were actually helping people from what I hear. I went to one looking for the nioh collection and DMC5 the other year. Guy scanned my barcode on my phone and seen they suppose to had some. He looked through everything at the counter, looked through boxes that came from other Wal-Mart's clearances and even checked the back. Got the other guy to check as well then the 3rd guy said he would even call me to let me know of it showed up. 3rd guy also told me that one guy might be knowing about the non yellow tags clearance and reselling the games but wasnt sure but wasnt that ok with what he was doing.

If my experiences are any indication then what you have there is rare situation and a bit of a unicorn. A lot of associates are either unhelpful or outright dismissive, and of those who weren't I've never seen any go through that kind of effort.
 

Also, you speaking of there being 3 people in the department is just unfathomable to me. That never happens anywhere around here. It's not uncommon for there to be no one in electronics.... or maybe there is one person for the entire department and they may also be manning the photo service desk or whatever at the same time as well. And when that happens forget about asking for help......

[n64ra]

Seconded and same for Ohio.

Same for Texas. The only WM employee I've found in the electronics section was the one walking through it and not covering it.

[WeaponX2099]

I live in Chicagoland, Most of the WM's around me (except fucking South Holland/Lansing) has someone in electronics to do something before 7:30- 8pm. After that tons of problems.

[Daniel_Shadow170]

The Walmart near me has a dude who openly smokes crack in the bathroom like I've seen him do it.

So it's uh hit or miss if he's working or not and apparently he's supposedly the only one with the key. Can't even buy games after he leaves for the day since he has the key.

[joeblowv1]

Honestly on the hidden clearance I had a guy let me rifle through all the games in the cages behind the counter and he price scanned the 6-7 I picked out. They weren't super busy so that probably explains half of it.

 

At a store on my way to work the electronics team is "just getting in" if I stop by, there is one guy in his 30's who is pretty helpful, he went in the back and dug for death stranding for 2$ for me. He seems pretty unamused by me, but he's atleast willing to do a bit more then the bare minimum for me when asked.

I feel if you become chatty/cool with the folks they might help you out. Seen plenty of times with my friends they cool with people a fast food joint they add extra or whatever they'll hit you up nicely.

Was surprised to see Series X Wild Hearts amongst the clearance games, but it was. $30.00 Other items were XB Tony Hawk $10, Switch Monster Hunter Stories 2 $15, and PS5 Tales to Arise $10.

Was it marked as clearance or did you have to check the price? 

[Miketheking]

Yeah, that definitely sounds like a Walmart thing.....

[mdm]

All Walmarts should have a magical crack troll who requires a solved riddle to get them to open the case for you, I need more whimsy in my life

[shadowysea07]

Having worked at a walmart decades ago the rule at least for my store was if no one is working electronics then the key is to be kept in the photo department desk.  But then you need a key to get in there if its locked which usually the csm had.

i dont think walmarts have photo departments any more. at least the ones near me don't. it is just 3 or 4 of those self printing kiosks near the laptop prison they built behind the electronics checkout/cell phone service desk.

[joeblowv1]

Wish I could find Mon Hun Stories 2 for 15$ been bone dry for clearance lately.

The closest one a county or two away does for mine despite the remodeling to a super center but it's probably the exception. The photo department is adjacent to the electronics department at mine and is where they have cameras, accessories for those, computers, phones and such in-between the two. While tvs, games and such are on the other side of the electronics. Then directly in front of electronics is the fabric and arts & crafts department.

My area is very remote though with lots of farms and Amish and such so there's that. It's the only Walmart for 20 minutes in every direction basically and there are no best buys, and other stores besides a target. We do somehow have 4 or 5 Starbucks though. 2 in the same parking lot where I work.

Same story here, there's been nothing noteworthy lately. And likewise on MHS 2 as well -- it's showing as $29.83 everywhere around me.

I got Darksiders Genesis for .03, but that was a while ago like a year & believe I was extremly lucky.

I went clearance hunting for The Yeti Blackout PUBG microphone a couple of years ago probably. Definitely an ancient deal on that one. Never did find one. It got replaced by the Ubisoft-themed one.

I thought walmart doesn't honor the 3cent. Even brickseek has something like that as a warning on the page.

Some items can slip through the cracks sometimes. Assuming it's not in a locked display case you can take it through self-checkout and as long as the item isn't blocked in the system it may be possible to purchase. It's highly YMMV what will or won't be blocked though.

[shadowysea07]

Went to see if they had the printer but they were sold out. They did have another model that was 49$ but I passed. I did however find a shop vacuum for 19$, a large igloo cooler for 21.88 so it wasn't a complete waste.

Sheeesh one of my Walmarts actually has that TV priced at $69, but I just know they won't actually have it...

I tried for the TV at a nearby store and no dice. Gonna try at the other location shown tomorrow.
