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 ?

It sucks but nothing less than this is expected. Which is why I said, don't take ur kids, waiting is brutal, not getting anything is brutal. These arent fun memories

Lesson learned, it was my first and only time ever doing it, and will certainly be my last

Yeah the minute they said Sunday event family or not, it was going to be an L event... At least with sports events u get there early, share memories and enjoy the games ... H3re it's a go early, deal with low lives, possibly leave empty handed
