Whats Your Worst Shopping Experience?

[Dragnov]

I just came from Target and I need to rant. :|:|:|

Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past is $19 at Target.

So I went to Target as soon as I found out (it takes like a whole minute for me to get there). It was very busy in the game section, and the 2 teenage guys looked really busy...

Oh sh1t though. Only one copy of left. So as I'm waiting there in front of the glass planel by the games (they were doing checkout stuff and was on the phone also), someone else who comes later ask for the last copy. Sh1t. Oh well, my dumb @ss for being patient and nice... I can always get a raincheck.

So I ask for Eternal Darkness for GC (hey, its only $28.88... awesome). I also ask for a raincheck on Metroid Fusion ($25) and Zelda ($19). Ask one guy... "Uh, I don't know how to do that... ask him". So I ask the other guy and he says hes on the phone and wait one sec. Geez, okay... thats understandable, I'll be patient... I've worked retail sales also, I know how bad it is at times.

He finishes but then he doesn't even know how to and he has to bring another person over. Geez. The new guy who knows his stuff fills out some forms and such, all good. Meanwhile, I ask to buy Eternal Darkness. He scans it.. $50+!!!! WTF?!!! I tell him it says $28.88 right there, and hes like "uhhh". Heads over to the games panel and says "It expired yesterday". Geee, thanks. Whatever, I'll move on.

I take the rainchecks to the counter and then I had to pick a bad lane. The stupid non-english speaking lady was asking something, and I'm just like "huh?" So we have to proceed to walk all the way over to the games section again and back for her to write the UPC codes. Uhhh, wtf... thats why theres a bar code there... scan it you dumb b!tch I think.

So here I am 30 minutes later, and I have proceeded to buy nothing and only have 2 rainchecks (and SOL out of getting Eteranal Darkness). There was no line, there was no computer errors, management problems... just simply incompetent workers. Damn. :|

What does that have to do w/ anything?

Is "Eastern San Gabriel Valley" any better? I lived in ghetto Alhambra until I was 6.

Well, one time this psycho cut me in line and I got real angry. I yelled at him "What do you think you're doing?" and he just pushes me. I reply "Oh no you're not you little sh-thead". Then the psycho says "You don't know who I am?" so I reply "A dead man if you don't watch out". I brought my stuff to the counter and when I was done, he started to follow me. Some how, this guy must've thought he was intimidating me, so I brought him to my car. I opened my trunk and he yells "I'm gonna f-ck you up".

Little did he know I keep a bat in my trunk. Just before his punch landed, BAM. I nailed him right in the chest and he fell to the ground. I walked over to him and said "You wanted to play but I won". I got into my car and drove away.

I felt bad that I had to hurt the guy, but what kind of psysho follows you to your car? Some could argue that I started it by telling him off, but who is he to cut me and 5 other people waiting in line. Sometimes I don't mind but it wasn't fair to the people behind me who were waiting longer than he was. Then everyone is a tough-guy.

Stuck in a line at JCPenney pickup counter. Im about 15 people back and a woman in front of me has a baby in diapers running around screaming his head off and shes on the cellphone talking to whoever knows...then I happen to notice the kids diaper is loose. Why might I notice this you ask? Because theres sh!t rolling out like gumballs all over the floor as he runs with his "bot-bot." I point this out to the counter person who gives me the look like...."well whattya want me to do about it?" Just up and left and drove 12 miles to the next nearest pick up center.

..Which was kidless and only 5 people long.

Oh man, that must've been the funniest thing ever...

In line at the grocery store and the guy ahead of me is on his cell phone. Girl checks him out and gives him the total. She is expecting the guy to give her some kind of payment and he stands there talking on the phone. She asks him how he is going to pay and the guy yells at her "Can't you see I'm talking on the phone." Manager sees everything, comes over and grabs the guys cell phone and the burly security guard basically grabs the guy and almost has to carry him out of the store. I really wanted to cheer and clap. The guys look on his face was priceless.

That really sucks, sorry to hear.

Jeez, a guy like that probably also carries a gun. Doesn't seem like you were very friendly either. Not saying you shouldn't have gotten angry, or even swung the bat, but maybe it is a little wiser to just let the thing slide in the future?

Well, he followed me from the store to the parking lot, then to my car. He probably thought I didn't see him, but I knew exactly where he was. When I put my head in the trunk, he came less than 2 feet from me, and his arm was jerked back. I grabbed the bat and flung it, which hit his chest.
