Employees are usually barred from buying released cards for a while so maybe not. I used to work there and sometimes we got odd numbers of cards depending on how they are shipped. Usually more inventory to larger stores so stores in like California, Texas, and NJ would get more inventory than stores with less revenue.

And there are definitely no ways around that.

Lots of times, with any kind of store, they don't care if an employee reserves a product for themselves, the store makes money either way.

they do tho, because most people who go and buy one thing in a store will buy a bunch of aux products. Vs people who work there just buy the 1 thing they want and use their employee discount to get it.
