There was a line apparently forming at 6:30 PM Thursday
So when heading to my break, I noticed in the stray room there was a box just filled with the new Pokémon booster packs and I was confused as our Target NEVER puts them behind Guests and Services.
Asked the HR about it and they said whenever a new set comes out, they're gonna put a box of the new set behind Guest and Services and put them on the shelves when the hype or something from it dies down. Then she told me that the line for Pokémon cards started forming at 6:30 PM. The vendor doesn't even come til 8 in the morning.
What used to happen was they used to line up all at self checkout and wait for him to be done before they repeatedly went to self checkout and other checklanes to get more and more cards. Then they started having them wait outside til the vendor was done and bring them all in to line up more and have one person at a time grab 2 of whatever but didn't matter as some went to the checklanes to buy more. Now I'm seeing them put it in guest and services but only for the first week or hype dies down if I remember.
I wonder if it's gonna get to the point where there's a limit for 2 boosters but 1 box of cards and they only sell it at Guest and Services so they remember the faces of those who purchase cards earlier and deny them?
