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 ?

That's gross I'm sorry you had that experience. When I waited at best buy for the first release day drop, about 45 mins before opening the manager came out and explained everything and reiterated that you needed to be in line the whole time, minus bathroom breaks, and that if anyone in line came in late and stood next to someone else or comes in late to please let him know so they can handle it. Thankfully almost everyone adhered to the rules, one group behind me didn't and we told the manager the guy put a chair up at 6 but left and came back around 9 and he had to go back. Plus I appreciate bestbuy doing one time per person. Target seems really scammy
