This will be my last post on this particular topic because communicating w/ some of you is like repeatedly banging your head against a brick wall...

I don't know how to articulate any better than this, so here it goes:

1. It wasn't a cd, it was a 12 inch lp and for the third time, I didn't realize it hadn't been properly paid for until after (can't stress that enough) I got home.

2. Yes it would have taken 2 hours; 1 hour to get there, 1 hour to get back = hence a 2 hour round trip.

3. I didn't go to 3 stores; I said my husband went to one (#1) and I went to two others (#2 & #3).

4.For those who feel PJ got ripped off; I'm sorry, but that's incorrect. Before the PJ merchandise was even shipped and accepted by the Target receiving dept., PJ got paid every penny for the product. Target will take the loss, not PJ.

5. I am absolutely correct in the assessment that if I went back to Target and told them the store associate did not ring up the product, that the Target employee who made the mistake would be terminated. If you don't believe me, please feel free to contact your local Target and ask to be transferred to their Loss/Lost Prevention Dept. Use my story as a hypothetical. See what they say. Better yet, I understand that this forum actually has some Target employees who post here; ask them. I know what I'm talking about... do you?

As for the limit of shirts you may buy, I can understand that because they're in limited quantity, however I just don't appreciate being told there is a policy of 1 per person when
a. it wasn't stated anywhere (i.e. ad/online/display or even in the 10c email)
b. what is the point of making a "store policy" that other Target's clearly didn't follow (I've read quite a few posts from other members where they've stated that they themselves purchased more than one shirt at a time).

Also, I won't mention the name of the member who posted this (for fear he will also be bombarded w/ nasty, judgemental comments like I have), but this person had the same intention of purchasing their merchandise at Target (which happened to be the limited edition shirt in their case) that they got w/out paying for. I believe their quote stated that the mngr. "couponed it off" because the Target mngr. was under the impression that the shirt came free w/ purchasing the cd. Now even though this was clearly a mistake made by the store employee and not him, is this person also a "thief" who "stole" from the store, PJ, and the charity Feeding America by letting the store give it to him for free even though I'm sure he now realizes that he shouldn't have received it for free? I think not. The store made the error, he got lucky. Done and done.

@kauffee: Thank you, that's exactly what took place.

@Snoopy Died For Our Sins: Yes, I indeed needed both! Also, your cousin is correct; thanks for adding that.

So with all that said, what's ridiculous is the super judgemental's who came out of the wood work "to let me have it." Do you feel better now? It must be so pretty sitting on your high moral ground... I'll just assume you're all perfect like Jesus, but in the event that I'm wrong and you're not perfect; please allow me to remind you (and geez this is coming from an atheist) that "Judge not lest ye be judged" or better yet "Let he who is w/out sin cast the first stone"; whichever one works for ya...

so much for that old proverb " You can get anything in NYC "

This shirt was nowhere even remotely close to my area.

I did , however , pick up the Target version of Backspacer.

I like the brain window which was not on the 10C edition,
and of course the downloads .

it was supposed to be available in the westbury target, tho i never went. given the limited quantity and an 8 am opening time on a sunday - yikes - i didn't even bother. i am not a morning person, not a tshirt person, but would've liked one for my hubby. he's a morning type but seeing that overall it seems they weren't even displayed, theo only thing he would've come home with from target is a bad attitude from me sending him there in the first place. haha. came here today tho and saw the link for it being available online...seems like i might've gotten one of the last available, tho a medium, which now i am concerned might be too small...and i'd have bought myself a tshirt in the end in any case!
