Heated Scalper Interaction

Showed up to Target this morning to hopefully get some stuff releasing today. Target said they didn't see whether they had anything, but we could come in and wait while they looked through the boxes. They started opening everything and surprise they had the surprise boxes and mini tins.

Guy who covertly showed up 2 min before opening didn't follow the rest of the group to the card section. Instead, he snuck around the registers and came up behind the woman. Before she even knew it, he was taking boxes out of the cardboard boxes and even had a full display of the mini tins. I spoke up and asked the woman was there a limit. She said it would be two per person. Before the guy could even get anywhere, I made sure she understood that the mini tins were a display and there were 8 in a box. She then took one of them from the guy because I think she didn't realize he had two and enforced the limit.

It got heated because this guy was clearly a scalper and was trying to flip these. He tried to say I was trying to start shit and I made it clear I was only trying to make it fair. I was helping the Target woman pass them out to make sure everyone was getting at least something.

All of this to say, it's important to speak up when you see this shit happening. No one was going to say anything about him until I said something. Once I said something, immediately everyone else started talking him down. Don't stand for the shitty behavior.
