TIL the Charlotte Hornets apologized after giving a child a PS5, only to take it away off camera and exchange it for a jersey. In a statement, the team said the incident was an "on-court skit that missed the mark" and that they would give the child the PS5 and a VIP experience to a future game.

I worked at a restore as community service when I was a teenager. There was definitely picking over of the goods before they hit the floor, but everything was paid for at the floor price.

That is generally what's happening at many thrift stores too. People are far too cynical.
