Local Scalpers getting the best of my local target
I’ve heard endless stories about the sweaty, jobless scalpers ruining things for others. It finally happened to me today. My job starts at 8, which is when my target opens, so I am not typically able to attempt to get any random early morning restocks that occur. This morning, I didn’t have to be in until 8:30 so stopped by target as it was about to open and there was a solid 10-15 dudes with chairs out there. Turns out every single day they put their chairs there at store close, and come back the next day 15 minutes before store open. I watched as the first 5 in the line took ALL the ETB’s, poster collections, EX boxes, and knockout boxes. the only product limits were on the mini-tins, so that was all I was able to nab. Employees expressed distaste in their ability to do these things, but that ultimately corporate makes their policies they have to abide by. Really sucked thinking i got lucky finally, only to see all the products leave the shelf in front of me, only to be sold online for 4 times the price. So that being said, I think it’s time Target gets a lot emails and I think it’s time for me to stop by Target at 3AM for some free chairs. What an awful experience
Edit: I understand the standard with Target is to have a product limit, which is why I was disappointed in my local target. I understand that some differ by location. But I gain nothing by making this up lol. The limits were only 2 per unit of ETB’s and mini-tins. all the posters, ex boxes and knockouts were a free for all. It sucked watching it all fly right in front of me
