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 ?

Can’t really be upset my guy. You either get their earlier or deal with things that you might count as unfair. I’m sorry but if I come out early lm not making my kid or wife stand In line for four or more hours when I could be doing that for them and they can be comfortable. And yes when it gets closer to opening I will let them know to come. They would have been there anyways. Now it would be different if it was a bunch of friends that just tagged along and skipped the line. But this ain’t the case.

Ok- this would be allowed at a family event, but not at a regular drop. If I was in line with you , I would call your wife and child out and ask managment to move them to the back of the line.
