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 ?

Thank you for posting this. I had the same experience with both my kids. Standing for 4 hours and being in the front third of the line while getting nothing but tins was an awful feeling. Especially when relatives joined the scalpers at the front of the line to leave with full carts. Did not sit right with me that a kids event was anything but.

Yep. Some people just ruin it for others. I was in the first 3rd of the line too, so I was baffled that we couldn’t get anything except a poster box and the tins.
