Confessions of a Walmart employee 🤯🤯🤯

For some reason whenever i get frustrated with collecting i watch your show and feel better about whatever it was that was bothering me, thanks for that

That's exactly what I was going for! Just wanna be good medicine

[@stevesurfaro]

I ran into a day stocker at Target who had a couple of HW boxes on her cart. I said it was good you folks are stocking at random hours to give others a chance. She told me a story of two shoppers that found her manager and complained that she wouldn’t give them the sealed case. I said, next time tell them to bring a few kids from the neighborhood that you’re going to treat to some HW, and maybe she’ll think about it. They never returned. She then handed me a box of Premiums and I found my first chase in 50 years!

[@thehotlineofdiecast.7623]

Holy smokes! Bless her, and your hobby! And the kids that may one day get dragged in by those douches.

Walter is one of the good ones. I wouldnt do that if he or one of his subs who are actual collectors came in looking for treasure hunts. These guys i was commenting on are ruthless scalpers. Arguing with each other, cursing, and trashing the pegs. Walters channel is the only HW channel i watch regularly because hes a true collector with actaul information if your into hot wheels. Keep up the good work Walter!

Second, thanks for sharing the Wal Mart story, that adds a new dynamic to the conversation (some of us made the bed that we are now lying in). Thanks for bringing another side into the equation.

I feel like some of the matchbox decals are a little digitized at times for me. And I'm usually not a fan of the rims and tires they look cheap. But I did like that Mercedes-Benz convertible no doubt. That Aston Martin is so dope. I think the Gordon Murray actually looks even better on the diecast than in real life. Mattel definitely needs to keep focused on the kids because that's what keeps Hot Wheels and the diecast going. Kids grow up to be crazy ass collectors like us LOL😮 normally I would say targeting a group of people in saying that they're all the same so that way you go out of your way to be shity to everyone is not necessarily cool. But that's the karma that this hobby brings because of the type of people who are out to make money off of it. So I guess it just comes with the territory. I love then and now certainly can't go wrong with the Supra. I also thought that the small block was really cool well at least the first one not as crazy about the second casting

[@calisox395]

I can say that for the Walmart employee in this video, I can see his point when people are acting like that. On the other hand, I feel like many Walmart employees are scalpers as well and cheating collectors out of having a chance to get these cars. I regularly look for chase and STH cars and not once have I ever scalped or sold a single one that I've found. Over the last 6 months I have not been able to find a single one at either Walmart or Target where I live. On multiple occasions I have seen Walmart employees taking advantage of their position to get these cars in advance of customers because they know they can make some money off them. Just today I had the rare chance of having a Friday off and went to Walmart to see if I could find anything in the morning. I came across a female employee that was probably about 20 years old and wearing a wedding ring. I watched as she pretended to work but was actually looking at the cars on the pegs trying to find STH cars. It was evident that she was doing it for her husband because I could tell she didn't know what she was looking for. She would randomly use her scanner to scan the barcode on the back of a car package and compare it to numbers she had listed on a notebook. I stood a few feet away from her for about 8 minutes watching her do this and she was oblivious that I was there watching. When she finally realized I was there, she looked startled and said sorry, my cart is in your way. She left her restock cart there and then went over to the dump bin and started doing the same thing to the cars there while I looked at the pegs.

[@jasonmoses6207]

This one doesn't bother me. If the employee is searching for cars during regular business hours, that is acceptable, as far as I am concerned. She is essentially just a customer, as I am. It's only when they have a built-in advantage that I get upset. For instance, if she were searching for these cars before the store opened, that would be upsetting to me, especially because she probably knows that the pegs were just stocked.

Just stopped by one that put a case out that was almost 3 years old. And another one that 2024 case with the firebird super. I found a super there

Did you hear the story or watch ricks toy room? He just posted a video about a guy who posted this himself on facebook...dude walks into a walmart and gets mad the employee wouldnt let him go thru 2 new cases. Dude goes home and calls walmart corporate, goes back to the same store later and tells a manager corporate told him he could do it ..manager pulls out the new cases and the guy posted his photos and story on a facebook group. What an ass, but yea the whole story on ricks toy room channel...im not a huge watcher of his, he admits to not leaving behind a treasure hunt when he has 15 of the same one, but interesting video about this dude who called the store

[@ronaldcarter888]

Yes shoutout to the employee. To teach these Selfish people. You can even enjoy collecting anymore. And we need to stop buying from this scalpers and take the hobby back. It’s for everyone to enjoy.

[@thehotlineofdiecast.7623]

It's crazy to see everyone's reaction, and why.

[@Gmoney7O7]

On the Walmart employee rant. The only thing I take issue with is…. it sounds like a generalization of all collectors as being “scum bag” aisle thrashers.

[@kurtkoler3582]

It's a generalization for sure, but it's pretty much true also. Very few respect the isles.

[@thehotlineofdiecast.7623]

He's motivated for real reasons that affect his day on the job. I can't really fault the critter.

[@gtsguynadeem1558]

Sadly, lots of scum bags in the hot wheels community or subgroup of die cast. The more I step away from hot wheels and into other subgroups of higher end premiums, you have less and less shenanigans to deal with. This has been my experience collecting for 20yrs.🤷🏾‍♂️

[@DaleDanielson-c5z]

Mixed feelings about the Walmart employee. Nice that he’s doing a good deed but also is taking the chance for a collectors to go TH and supers. Maybe stock them at different times of the day

[@thehotlineofdiecast.7623]

I believe a lot of us did.

I honestly think if u feel offended then maybe just maybe ur part of that problem it does clarify some stuff which would make us all a lil aggravated but u gotta be in it to win it an the employee is doin a great thing helping someone less fortunate to get out an hunt like we do thas just my 2 cents on this 🤷‍♂️

[@DouglasPrime2024]

I saw a wrapped pallet fresh off the truck (I have a pic to prove it) in my local Walmart with an opened box of Mattel trolls dolls a few weeks ago. It looked to me like it was molested at the distribution site. Getting 1st dibs on items is a deserved perk of a retail job. However, I don’t like the distributor taking that privilege. And leave every display better than you found it!

[@thehotlineofdiecast.7623]

At the DC is next to impossible. Perhaps customers.

[@DouglasPrime2024]

@@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 In any event, it only shows the passion for the sport, it adds to the competition. I had one girl tell me she gives her boyfriend 1st dibs. That's a good girlfriend! It makes it all the more challenging and so much more rewarding when you find something special.

[@OKIN815]

If that employee is actually taking everything at his store for the homie with DS then good on him.. but ONLY IF he’s actually doing it out of the kindness of his heart and not doing it to make a quick buck. It’s easy to say what he said. Actually doing it tho? That’s a different ballgame

Matchbox is the realistic version of hot wheels hot wheels is the crazy versions of cars. I notice some people collect about every casting I am very particular about what I buy. EV’s are not a car. Not into the multi color golf I’ve seen a real one In real time I don’t like any VW after about 1985

[@thehotlineofdiecast.7623]

I'm obviously stoked! Lol. That's what I love about volkswagen 2013 and earlier... You had to be an enthusiast to love the collection.

[@idacoetzee]

Walmart is not known for its ethics, just how stressful is a job at Walmart- isn’t tiding up displays part of their job? Kinda creepy if an employee is buying all the STH and TH in their store to spite customers! issue with hot wheels store displays mess is the design the pegs are the worst to browse especially if they’re all the way down to the floor!

[@thehotlineofdiecast.7623]

I can't say I see anything "creepy" in this person's actions. Though motivated out of spite, totally within the bounds of the law. Most seem to see Robin Hood vibes... me included.

[@whenever-199iq]

The guy is surely showing some hatred while compensating with doing a good deed. He should find a way to address the problem of messy isles, and instead find supers and treasure hunts on his OWN spare time hunting like everyone else. Then give them away to others in need. Or would he give them away if you took away the hate.?

[@thehotlineofdiecast.7623]

I can understand this stance. He's not a collector is what he said.... so it's strictly out of spite

[@mondospeedy3089]

I understand the Walmart employees actions, but its not the collectors, it the resellers/scalpers. Real collectors have more respect than that, it only takes one jerk to give everyone else a bad name.

[@thehotlineofdiecast.7623]

That's the problem... it's tough to know who is the problem

[@StarStream707]

I don't agree with the vigilante Walmart employee acting out his vengance by scooping up all the Treasures on his break. Not all hunters are bad characters. I'm sad for anybody who can't make the hunt on their own like the kid he gives the TH's to but the hobby is designed like this, from factory to market, placing the product on the pegs for hunters. Cheating this simple process violates the intent and the expectation of every collector/ hobbyist. The stocking of HW should be fair and not taken advantage of by stock clerks engaged in insider exploitation.
