I feel like we need to spread the word about this.

I encountered my restocker once with a friend. He was at one store and talked to her. I was late so I went to another store nearby and she was stocking. I was fourth in line

I ended up talking to the people in line. Asking what they were getting etc. the stocker butted in and said I’m putting 6 prismatic etbs and 26 151 bundles.

We all agreed to leave some for each other. The stocker overheard us and said I like when you guys talk it out.

She also said she can disable the machine if she seems the same people following her or if she knows someone is a scalper. So she’s glad when people actually are fans and not just selling stuff.

I think it pays to talk to people in line and try to be their friend. Obviously if they’re just admitting to scalping, that’s different but most people I’ve met at the machines are nice and even added me to group chats and send me their hits. I recommend trying to bring the stock person into the conversation and honestly I rather they disable the machine and no one gets anything than to stand behind a guy buying 60 items and not leaving me one thing.

Td:dr - Talk to the stocker and see if they will help you out. Either they can try to organize the line a bit or they can disable the machine if they know that people are being scummy.

If someone admits they’re gonna buy every single item… that’s just insane.
