It has come to my attention we're close to being in some serious trouble with Universal Pictures because somewhere in the company somebody put out copies of the latest Twilight movie and some sold. That movie isn't supposed to go on sale until Saturday.
It wouldn't surprise me if this happened at my store. It's happened once before that I know of.
You'd think the big, brightly-colored labels on the boxes reading "do not sell before xx/xx date" would be clearly understood, but apparently they aren't. Which then begs the question of why the registers allow the sale to go through before the street date.
Anyhow, if we sell any more copies of the Twilight movie before Saturday, Universal has threatened to forfeit our funding, whatever that means. It wouldn't surprise me if this happens. This company doesn't have its shit together when it comes to street-dated merchandise.
