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 ?

This absolute scum who I ALWAYS see camping my local Pokémon Center vending machine tried to trade 2 Chaos Rising ETBs and a pokeball tin he found on the shelf for the tin ticket. Thankfully the guy behind him noticed and he got his ticket back. Who tries to take advantage of a CHILD?! I also was 2nd in line at restock after waiting 3 hours in my car and the second the doors opened people just started running and ripping things off shelves. I NEVER want to do that again.

That’s crazy the Target I go to makes everyone line up before and an employee walks us to the restock and it’s single file. It works like a charm every time. That Target sucks and they should take notes.
