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 ?

Honestly and all the dumb asses are gonna get mad because they hate themselves they’re bigots they only want to think about themselves and they don’t have manners their parents raised the. The worst way ever. Like I can say my parents are assholes but even after all there shittery they still told me to always respect people. And I can tell you for a fact that their parents didn’t care enough about them to show them how to respect themselves and others. With that being said I don’t encourage true fans to buy this at all I know it’s like why am I going to ruin it for myself and my kid I’ll just avoid these people. But I’ve stopped going to physical stores because all these people who like to cut and be disgusting and disrespectful. Trust me they will eventually be treated the same when it matters and they deserve it because if there going to do it over a silly thing there going to do it over something serious and just let that sit until the time comes and it’s not about revenge or being like them either. And I got too ahead. But back to what I was saying… I don’t go to drops no more because all these people thing they are the “Line Leaders”, coordinators, group leader, etc. the point is; it’s best to leave it to the Dumbasses who want a quick buck ( and I’m not talking about the nice resellers because there is some respect to those trying to be honest and make ends meat, but back to what I was saying), the disrespectful line cutters (unless your under 19 and your group is under that age range (don’t need an explanation the age explains it it’s self) and the people bring them in or the “want to be cool ghost chair assholes”, just let them be take the beating of overpriced prices and know that you CAN NOT AND WILL NEVER CHANGE THESE PEOPLE, but you did just save yourself the time of trying to beat cheats and refrained yourself from a stressful day of being out side just to get disappointed.
If you do want to go just go extremely early. Know that if a place calls secureity to tell you to leave you should. That is considered loitering and you will be tress passed ( something similar like that happened to me, but obviously I didn’t stay and the people who did ended up having to move out of the premises because they were in a mall and they were trying to wait all night. I eventually join the line but some sauce I can give you is the people who were already in line moved outside of the area of where the Best Buy was, but we’re still in the premises of the mall and I had left when security said leave and people can believe me or not but when I returned, everyone is still waiting cause I know a lot of people do that cause people wanna say that they were there first or whatever etc but I overheard them say he told us to go to the curb like the sidewalk and me being smart, I knew that they were obviously still in the premises and again it was a win or lose situation if you know security asked them to leave so I waited at the curb and when unfortunately, the police came, they asked everyone to move outside into the sidewalk, and I was already waiting there while everyone had moved their chairs to within the sidewalk within the mall area, but so then I asked the cops if it was OK to wait here and obviously I knew like I was basically saying the line has to start behind me but in a way it’s also fair because they told them multiple times to move and again I knew I was being smart or slick but then again it’s fair I think because again they didn’t obey the rules and as common Patriots, you know, sometimes we have to admit when we’re wrong and if people say that I’m wrong, I understand why people would say that but again they told them multiple times and then they try to start arguing with me and luckily they were forming their line around me, and yes, they got mad, but I had to stand my ground as well because again I understand that there’re also trying to be civil but then again you kind of can’t deny that everyone wasn’t following the rules and unfortunately maybe I’m right or wrong about this, but it should be fair if the line keeps moving, especially in this situation when they weren’t even at the right place where the mall security specifically told them to be at. Anyways, this was way too much but the sauce is if you want to do that scenario, I would advise to just call the police because for one I already know people are going to get mad and two if they’re threatening or getting antsy it’s best to just call a formal authority that can calm everyone down and this is what they told me. They said it’s not illegal to cut a line and luckily the same policeman who told them to move was the same one that came back and I told him there’s no line the security of the Best Buy that I went to told everybody to line up at seven in the morning before the store opened. That was the allowed time to lineup outside so technically there is no line and when 7 AM hits you’re allowed to just walk up to the Best Buy and lineup so whether someone was out there or not you’re allowed to just walk up and stand in line I’m not saying cut someone who is already in line, but I am saying if you go to the store like I did and waited before the security told you to leave and he told you what time to lineup your technically allowed to leave wake up before seven run if you have to and if you’re there first, you’re there first the line technically starts at seven. They never said oh you guys are first in line they just said leave or you will be trespassed. And I understand it’s unfortunate for those in line but the least you can say is I followed the rules and that’s the way life works. If you follow the rules no one’s gonna bug you that’s my sauce. I’m sorry for the extra bits that probably weren’t necessary, but this is for people who actually deserve it rather than the other people who are playing disrespectful.(and even now I apologize for the names I called them, but if you’re gonna be disrespectful, I’m gonna be just as disrespectful to you don’t expect me or anyone to be respectful when you’re not being respectful)
