Today I stopped by my local Target, and for the first time ever, they actually had some single carded Joe figures. Most of them were in rough shape but I did find on nice condtion Viper and Python Patrol officer. The cards had no bends, scratches, creases, dings, dents etc. I took them up to the cashier to pay for them and the cashier bent the living crap out of them when she scanned them. I paid for the two items and then walked directly over to returns and got my money back. I simply can't believe what I see sometimes when a cashier will quite literally destroy the very item your trying to buy as your standing right there watching them. |

Remember, to most of the world these things are "just" toys, so I can see there not being much thought to scanning and stuffing in the bag, but it sounds like your cashier was out to damage them... which is odd. | |

One time I had a cashier grab a 12" SW fig and push the plastic in. I then told her to take it off for I no longer wanted a damaged toy. I was pissed. I have had cashiers grab the figs by a corner and I would politely ask them to put it down so I could scan it. I have scanned my own toys before and I am not shy in telling the cashier why. Some refuse and some let me do it. I also bag my own stuff at times. This might seem anal but dang it, I want a mint toy.It is my decision to take it off card or out of the box, not there's. Next time that happens to you, tell them to be careful or refuse to buy them.Your the customer and remind them of that. | |

That is what I have done more than once. But here in the Memphis area we get a LOT of rude service so if you ask them your lucky not to get rolled eyes at the least.

Actually, the part that scares me the most is when they toss them all in the bag. But so far, no bent packages... | |
