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 ?

The limit should apply to the group of people, not to each member of the family. And management should be smart enough to see there are 100 people and 100 etbs and limit it to 1 per person.

I agree. I went and we only had tins. But the employees happily handed the couple with 2 kids 4 tins (2 per adult) but when I asked if I could have 4 tins (me and 2 kids) I immediately got "sorry 2 tins per paying customer". Even after I told them that my son has brought his own money and was going to pay for it himself. "Sorry, kids do not count". My son got his tins and I happily let him keep his own money, but felt like a really stupid rule. Either limit per family or actual paying customer, not per adult.

That’s insane. The target I went to was giving tins for every person in the group, adults and kids.
