How the guy would walk into these stores basically like the delivery guy. He would have his whole box. Yeah, but they— I understand what you're saying, sir. This is a year ago, like a year ago, uh, when I was watching this. They would deliver, like he came into the store, delivered it, and put it on the shelf like he worked for the company, right? And so it was non-suspecting, and the store would have no clue that this guy was in there The one person even came up to him, said, "Hey, what are you doing?" He's like, "Well, we gotta take all these old ones off and put the new ones up." And they just let him go. Wow, that's crazy. So, I mean—
So I was asking the guy at Publix, like, what have they done besides that to secure the gift card? He says, "Oh, now the gift cards get delivered to them." Well, that's at Publix. And they stock them. No, they used to not do that.
No, I'm saying that's at Publix. Right. Well, they still— They're stocking it, so there's no reason— It's a wild thing, man. Scammers are scamming, dude.
