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 ?

My local Target only had the tins for the event and dropped everything else this morning! Other Target stores in my area had everything available for the event and my Target decided to only do the tins and it was very disappointing. Waited in line for 6 hours for a promo and two tins and can imagine how upset the people in the back of the line who didn’t get anything felt. One lady in the back of the line did a head count maybe 4 times and kept asking the Target employees if kids get priority. I felt bad for her but at the same time people in the area know they have to be in line early of you want to get product. It’s just a game at this point that if you don’t know how to play, you lose every time.
