Another Lego Employee goes off the reservation...

Went to a Lego store the other night to pick up an Ewok Village with all the VIP points I had. I have been to this store quite a bit so most of the people know me pretty well. Its funny because a lot of the people on here talk about Lego employees accusing people of reselling, etc. (Like Willy's insane Lego store manager story), but none of them have questioned any of my ridiculous purchases, nor my stupid amount of VIP points. Either way, they were training a new guy while I was there. Now, I generally don't let on when talking to people that I know what I am doing - don't want anyone to know I am checking out stuff to resell later. I told him I had a coupon and asked him if there was anything it didn't work on (hoping as he was new he wouldn't know since it just says the employee reserves the right to deny a set). He said "It doesn't work on exclusives". I went on to say "How do I know what's exclusive". Here is where it got interesting. He went on to talk about how exclusives are only at the Lego store and they are awesome and very expensive and then several years down the line they are worth like 800-1000 dollars so you should buy them now! One of the other older employees came out and kind of chimed in to this effect. As I went to the register, one of the guys saw I was purchasing a good $350 worth of stuff and mentioned - "I guess you are like me and buy all this stuff and leave it sealed for a long time". Really? Lego can't even control its employees - my store is encouraging me to buy to resell. I am not going to complain. Just seems like if you are going to have a policy - you should train your employees to not say things directly against it. :)
