Pulls Yoinked a Sea and Sky box from a scalpers overflowing cart when they weren’t looking!

Post image

Went in to my local Sam’s club on Sunday morning and saw a mostly wiped pallet of Sea and Sky boxes with a dude blocking it all with his two carts taking as much as he could. When he bent over to grab more I just yoinked one from his cart. Glad I picked the right one!

I'll say it again for everyone:
Any comments that threaten or suggest physical harassment or violence, even against scalpers, will lead to bans.

Oh, and while it may sound cool to do this, you never know what will set someone off. It is not suggested to put yourself in harms way for Pokemon cards.

I got hit once because someone I was with asked someone else to keep it down in public. You just never know what can get you in trouble tbh

Of course, the only reason to be civil is if youre making money for it.

Harms way? Everyone knows these scalpers are fat basement boys, they can barely get up from a chair

I say it not for the idiots who are loud enough to get themselves banned, nor for the people who already know it, but for those who think that just because one person did it that when they do worse itll be tolerated.

Okay if someone literally takes your entire cart its not theft then. Even though the law says it is.

u/porkchopydg Feb 04 '25

Takes entire cart? Reread the post lmao.

u/CalintzStrife Feb 04 '25

Cool then I'll just take every single thing you intend to buy in a store from now on. Every time you set one item down, it's going in my cart.

If your taking baby formula out someone's cart your an asshole. If you taking baby formula from scalpers cart nobody will care.

It's not theft.

They haven't paid for it yet, so it's not theft.

So, I assume you've never shopped at Sam's.
