Don't listen to them, the whole "we can't sell them to you" is all a bunch of bullshit- There's a difference between a "street date" and a "release date", many toys have release dates which are approximate estimations of when those cases of figures will arrive and will be put out on shelves, this can vary depending on the store. A hard release date will have the "do not open/sell until..."
I was told when the guy went into the back room that the case was marked do not sell until then(but if true, how are so many others getting them?), then again he might very easily have read the case worng as I feel bad saying this(but have witnessed more than enough examples), Target and Walmart employees do not seem to be all that bright, maybe schools these days aren't as good, I don't know the exact answer. But getting told incorrect/inconsistant information at a seemingly 50% rate is just plain annoying.
I guess what ticks me off here, is that Target and other places need to get off their asses and properly train their employees and make sure they all receive the same information. As well as train them to give 2 shits about the people who are willing to part with their hard-earned money and contribute to their paychecks so they can be texting in the back and not at one of the 30 empty checkouts while many customers doze off while standing up awaiting to part with said money.(/rant section)
By the way, I must note that, intelligence aside, I have generally found the staff at Target to be much nicer than Walmart. And with how many of those places I hit each month, I'm confident I'm not the only one with that opinion.
Edit: wouldn't let me delete. Guess I got caught up in the moment of the rant and took too long, then saw Fast Draw's post.
Well, guess it's like I said to the guy in Worcester, sounds like a whole mess of Target employees are in deep shit.
FastDraw: where was this pic posted? I'm just curious what it looks like.
