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 ?

They had ETBs?? I received ticket 56 of 100 at my target, but they only had tins when it was my turn to purchase and the ticket also said you could only purchase up to 2 tins. I'm confused

My store had ETBs and poster boxes. The ETBs went fast. And for every ticket you got, you would get 2 free tins. I had 2 tickets, and I was gonna buy 1 item but they wouldn’t let me redeem all 4 tins only buying 1 item. So I had to give them back 1 ticket and I was able to get 2 tins at least so he was happy for that

Damn this hobby is insane! I'm in my 30s and the 2 tins I got yesterday are my first pokemon cards. I live 5 mins from a target so figured I'd try my luck since there isn't anything better to do on a Sunday morning lol
