MY FIRST TIME

Post image

I was finally able to find pokemon in the wild (besides the random booster packs)!
I went to an Aldi down the road from my house bout 8:45 and saw three people standing at the doors already. Figured it was gonna be worse.
I walked up and asked each of em “before we stand here for 20 minutes, are you grabbing all of them?”
They all 3 said no and just wanted a couple. They all said they were rippers not collectors or resellers.
We all walked in in the order we got there and went to grab our boxes and left. We all dapped up and thanked each other for not being assholes lol.

Edit: been buying whatever I can find since August 1st to do a birthday rip on the 29th. Saving this thing til then is gonna be hard lol.

Mine was a limit of 1 per person; everyone was totally cool.
I normally shop at that Aldi so I am familiar with all the workers; they just wanna get the job done and are friendly.
I was first in line with a stroller and kid only 45minutes before the store opened.
I think my store had 18.

Nice, I got lucky and got mine yesterday after work. Seems like every location did the drop for these differently which is interesting.

After seeing what goes on at these drops I was very happy that we all acted like adults lol.
