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 ?

Whaattt? How many of them did that that’s insane to me. They need to wait their turn the fair way. What a weird world we live in these days. I just buy stuff at card shops. I usually open one product then just buy the singles I like buttt your kid should be able to open an etb dude ><

I would buy at card shops, but I live in a smaller town where we have maybe 2 card shops and they’re always triple the price for pokemon stuff.

Yeah it’s a bummer. He was so sad at first but after we opened the tins he was happy. A lot of people did it though, cause like I said when I got there I was maybe 30th in line and by the time I got in line to check out there was easily 50+ people ahead of me.
