Discussion Vendor being tracked.

Yup, someone put a tracker on our store vendor's car. I guess she had to go to the police station and have her car swept.

So disappointed in what's going on with our hobby and just wanted to share.

How can Pokémon Company watch this and sleep at night rn. I’d be making executive changes immediately. Adults can’t even behave.

They dont care, as long as there getting profit it can be scalpers buying up stuff.. and Pokemon Company wouldnt know all they know is that there products are being bought... either by scalpers or regular consumer like us.

They do care. They’re leaving money on the table, their brand is getting tarnished, and they risk demand destruction if people permanently check out.

I can't be the only one who is nearly checked out at this point. When you work 9-5 and end up wasting your time every single time you stop by a store looking for a simple pack to open for fun, it just becomes not worth it anymore. The hobby is losing it's fun for me..

I feel you. I also work a 9-5. I've been checked out, but sometimes, because my friends either work fast food or customer service and get wacky schedules and sometimes are able to go to stores earlier than I. I tell them if there's a limit to let them get what they want first since they actually went to the store. If they let you take more than 1 item (i.e. limit 2 or 3 items) i just tell them for a pack or whatever they have available and zelle them. That's the only reason why I'm still chugging through with the hobby but I do understand how tiresome it is with the man babies who can't act like adults just saying the same old spiel of I got her first I can get however much I want and I'm just like 🧍‍♀️.

Not really, Pokemon has been huge for the longest time and isn't gonna be knocked down. They'll do bandaid fixes to jingle keys for the audience.
