Walmart.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

[QuadESL63]

Not endorsing theft but I have no sympathy on any retailers who are doing self-checkouts that is losing money.

BTW any idea when will we see the 2nd batch of Netflix exclusives? And will we see the G1 Autobots tapes soon? I haven’t followed the news lately so sorry for the Q’s.

10000% agreed.

Did Walmart.ca offer online price-matching? If so, will that go away as well?

Not any more late than WM. Sometimes WM gets certain things first, sometimes it's TRU, and they all get their own exclusives.

Are the G1 Autobot cassettes even a thing? I've heard and seen nothing mentioned of them?

There's the Amazon Exclusive G1 Cassette 3 pack that is still available for $49.99. It includes Frenzy (blue Rumble) and the Japanese Autobot Dinos Gurafi and Noizu all of which should fit in G1 Reissue Blaster and Soundwave.

No. They are not a thing.

Kind of related to this but the other morning I was in Leamington Walmart. Decided since I was thirsty to pick up a small milk beverage. So since it was only around $1 thought okay I'll go to an actual cashier so I can use cash. Not 1 actual cashier open. So I head to the self checkout cuz I know they take cash. A lady ahead of me had a bunch of things & she wanted to pay cash as well. I waited about 5-10 mins cuz the lady needed help cashing out, then tossed the milk up on one of the empty self checkouts & walked out, went & got a drink elsewhere. I don't have patience for that level of stupidity & I know it wasn't the lady's fault or the girl's either watching the self checkout. It's upper management's when you have workers talking out in the aisle about what they did on the weekend or what they watched on Netflix the other night. Give me a break.

Don't get me wrong I feel self-checkouts serve a purpose, say around Xmas time when its super busy but that was ridiculous having 1 girl in the whole store doing all the checkouts. Couldn't believe it. Rant over.

My mom is 70 years old and when she went to walmart and they offered "self checkout", her response is a simple "I dont work here".

Oldtimers: Anyone else remember getting a G1 Blaster reissue with his G1 tapes in the "disco" box for, like, $25 at Homesense of all places?
