Why I dont buy single packs at Target/Walmart anymore (pack searcher unmasked!)

[Hawaiian BamBam]

for years i have suspected that there is a pack searcher at all the local target and walmarts. i once bought a box of cards that guaranteed an auto or gu 1 in each box. well, this one box has only 23 packs in it(that should of been a big hint) so i bought it, guess what..no auto or gu. so a couple months later i bought a different brand. this box also had 23 packs in it (hint # 2) i decided to but the box. guess what no auto or gu! so then i got smart and said there must be someone searching all these packs! so i stopped buying single packs at walmart and target. fast forward a few years. today i stopped by the local target and walked buy the card section (no intention at all to buy any packs) guess what i saw, some dude with a small scale weighing packs. so i made a u turn and went to the card section. i started to stare at this guy as i couldnt believe this guy was in public with a scale weighing packs. when he saw me staring at him, he put the scale away and then looked at m and began "feeling" packs for the hot pack! kind of like he was "yeah, im doing it, so what..look on his face. so instead of telling security i thought i would have fun with this guy. so i began picking up packs and acting like i was a pack searcher too (even though i dont have a clue to what i am doing since i never searched packs)i just did what he was doing. i started "acting" like i was pack searching too! he looked at me , like " oh no, your searching packs too" i then picked up a few packs and finally when he was looking, i said " i found it!" as in, i found the hot pack auto or gu he was looking for.) and then took the pack and walked away with it (of course it wasnt a hot pack as i didnt even know what i was doing. but i did make this guy think i knew what i was doing. he must of thought i knew what i was doing and that i found what he was looking for, because he left right after i did. 9i then circled back and out the pack back on the shelf!


Have you ever seen/caught a pack searcher. and if so, what did you do/say to him/her?

Another duplicate post. What's wrong with the site?

How is it that you're coming up short on box purchases? Were they factory sealed in plastic wrap?

Sound like the boxes had the plastic wrap removed... So I normally don't pick wax packs from them boxes. I normally only pick up the blasters or rack packs or Unopened boxes. Best regards, David

The correct action would have been to go find the floor manager, inform them they have a pack searcher(using a scale) on the premises and remind them that Target has a corporate policy of "no pack searching allowed", and it directs the floor manager to ask the searcher to leave the premises, with the warning that if they are caught searching again, they are to be banned from the store permanently.
As you took "justice' into your own hands, the pack searcher will continue his selfish hobby with no fear.
