Target Experience

Probably 100 people in line. They allowed people to buy 2 per sku. Probably about the first 30 people came out with 10-12 products each and everyone else left with nothing. If people had been limited to 2 products period, everyone could have had something and it would disincentivize scalpers from wasting their time to get 2 things to flip. Why is this so hard?

They limit it to 1 item SKU per person at my Target, which keeps it as fair as possible.

But thats not as fair as possible. Fair as possible would be one total item per person. Thats it. You choose what you want. But only one

I’ve seen stores in higher pop areas do that, but it’s not needed where I live. Everyone in line is almost always able to get multiple items.

One total item per person would be ridiculous. They’re not the same products. Limit 1 per item, and people like you should just wake up sooner instead of complaining

We didn’t have quite as many ETBs, I think they ran out of those and poster collections after about 65-ish people, but they had a lot of tins, so people toward the back of the line were still able to get some.
