I was just in Target and heard one of their managers talking on the phone with an upset customer. As I walked by, it became clear that they were discussing toys - so I stalked the aisles for a while and evesdropped. Yes, I could only hear the manager's side of the conversation... but it was still enlightening:
"Yes, sir, I understand. But we limit things such as this to one per customer to assure that everyone has a chance to get one" "No - it is not a manufacturer policy. We chose to do this in our store, however" "I understand we had five in stock - and you only wanted three. But one per customer was our policy at the time, and it still is." "No - we have no idea if or when we will get restocked on that item" "Yes - it is frustrating that they appear once and never again. We would like to have more product in stock" "We cannot verify the authenticity of online stock-checking websites. I recommend coming into the store to confirm availablitiy" "My name is Manager so-and-so. You can always call and talk to me directly and I will help you the best I can. You could also talk with toy manager so-and-so and he would assist you" "Our employees should never have treated you like that - but there is nothing I can do to compensate you" Then he got off the call, turned to his fellow workers... and LAUGHED about this guy on the phone. "Can you believe these people? I get it... but these collectibles are getting out of hand." I could feel his eye rolls - and I was two aisle away, quietly snooping. Anyhow... just wanted to share. I have no idea if they were talking about Joes or not... but it's all the same. Target employees and mangers alike have come to think we are a bunch of overgrown man-babies. Because a lot of us are. |

I just left Target. I haven’t seen a Joe in Target since October. Star Wars pegs empty too.

Still better then what I overheard at Target.There were two women talking about there cycles. Maybe something you don't want to discuss in public at that volume.

Nothing beats when I was in Target and had a lady ask me if I thought brown panties would look good on her.
