Well, it sure as hell wasn't happening where I work.
And I have a hard time believing it was company-wide, simply because it's packaged just the same way everything else that has a hold date is - except with slightly more warnings. A store that is messing up the hold dates on this ought to have been messing up the hold dates on everything else too, and that should have gotten a lot of attention.
As for the "person in charge" scenario - nope. At least in our store, there is one person in electronics at a time, and they are the boss of themselves for the duration. If management is telling us to do anything, it's usually to have us work in some entirely different department for a while.
Anyway, I'm starting to get really irritable about this whole issue. I have enough trouble with all the people who won't accept that I can't sell them Wiis that I don't have, I don't need all these other bastards too. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm ready to give Mass Effect a -10 for it's fans wasting my time.
