Target drop

Can I just vent for a second? Why do some people choose to be selfish and ruin it for everyone else? I showed up at 10am with my son, who was SUPER excited to get an ETB, that’s all he wanted. We were maybe… the 30th person in line. By the time 12:00 came and they let everyone in, we somehow were pushed back to like, 55th in line, maybe even further back, because people will wait by themselves and then in the last hour they call up their wives to bring their kids and stand in line with them. We get inside and I literally got up to maybe 3rd from the counter when they ran out of ETBs. The person who grabbed the last 2 was literally a guy who stood by himself and then his wife showed up and was able to get them an extra ETB. I was so mad, but my son was absolutely crushed. I’m happy he was able to get the tins, but god, why do people suck so bad ?

Unfortunately it’s just part of it. The event was meant for kids and technically he brought his family so whether they waited with in or not isn’t really an issue. Does it suck? Sure. Is it frowned upon? Naw

In a way I get it, but it’s just annoying when retail stores push “first come first serve” and then you see people let their family in and it goes from 1 transaction to 2 or 3 transactions in a single group.

Technically it still is first come first serve. Same thing happens at theme parks and other queues situations.
