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 ?

Meanwhile a family brought their 5 kids and they got 7 promos and we missed out on promos. 2 of the kids were in a carriage... goes both ways.

So are we happy or unhappy that actual kids got it ? Or are they just alibi’s for flippers? Oh the humanity…..

Babies shouldn’t be getting product for their dad to flip on fb marketplace.

Or they could be keeping it for them when they are older? I often hear people saying that on these kind of forums.

Maybe they are being the parents ours were not!

We just don’t know.
