Okay, I'll post this here so no one yells at me over on the deals thread:
I led my kids through the Target toy aisles for an hour today to scour for Easter finds. My kids picked out a couple of things each and I picked up the bubble buckets for the summer-all Easter 90% off. I get a few other things (not on sale, just needed items like sunscreen ,etc.) and we head to the registers. We put our things on the belt and the trouble starts. As soon as the "item not found" comes up, we're informed that we cannot buy these items as they are salvaged. We stand there for 15 minutes (me with two increasingly aggitated children) for the LOD or whoever to come up with this. They (three clueless employees) ask me where I found all these toys and I reply-on the shelves in the toy section (like I have this mysterious locker instore where I keep stashes of wonderful finds....the freakin' stuff was sitting there plain as day on the shelves!!!) They all shake their heads and say the items cannot be sold and here's a $3 *oops we're shitheads* coupon. Meanwhile my kids are breaking down because they are not allowed to buy the toys they picked out. The 3 clueless ones then have the nerve to ask if i still want to other stuff in my now voided order.....WTF? are you kidding me? I told them I would buy it at another store, one that didn't treat their customers this way and took my kids home. What a waste of time and gas.....this store is an hour round trip from my house.
please don't tell me how their hands are tied because the items should have been salvaged. I have ALWAYS been allowed to purchase things that ring up 0.00 without question and have never been treated like a moron like today. These items were in neat little stacks in the toy section, not hidden deals. It was their fault for not clearing salvage items well enough or even knowing their own season inventory well enough so that a customer knows more about their S.I. than they do.... I am pissed and over Target for now.....
The Wiki has the first link already if you ever need just the Pantene coupon, not the whole page.
The Pantene is now over at FW hot deals.

Then as the order is finished ringing up, (mind you, cashier had her light turned off)I give the cashier my Q's. ALL legit except for 3 toy ETQ's. LOD leans over and starts critizing all coupons, starting with the first one.
She tells cashier to scan them. Then she picks up my ETQ's and says "and you can't use these either. These are from Christmas." I said, "I just printed them off this morning." Her reply was "well." and a shrug of the shoulders. I then said "excuse me, what is your name? She ignores me bc she's counting my Pantene coupons! Then she gets done counting all 27 of them and tells me! WTF! No apology., I finally am boiling. I look at her and say "you know, you're not very friendly. Everytime I come in here you are never happy, you treat your customers and you employees like crap, and you're just plan rude." She replies "Oh, well I have never seen you in here before." I said, well I frequent a couple times a week, and I see you all the time." (BTW, I have seen instances where she has been VERY rotten to her employees, and in front of customers.) She again shrugs her shoulders and walks away!
Ok, so I am rippin' pissed. WTF! I had a screaming toddler and she still has no sympathy and nit-picks everything! I called corp, and the lady rushed me off the phone, and basically got every detail as to why LOD refused/wouldn't scan Q's. Basically she was trying to make LOD right.
I emailed guest services. With a bit more detail I am FUMING.
Done ranting.
Targets customer service sucks.
WTF is up with this creepy avatar? Is this an Aprils Fools joke? SO not funny. He's gross.
HAHAHAHA! Soooooo love being "in."
For the love of God, people.....PLEASE DON'T POST IN THE HOT DEALS THREAD ABOUT PANTENE!!!!!
Damn smash and grabbers!

PS-for the item not found, as long as I know the price, I've talked the cashier into it several times over the past few months. Most of it are items I've stalked so I absolutely know it. Did it last night with bubbles and a lego person

I have a pair and LOVE them so I ordered 4 more. I use them to cut Q's...saves ALOT of time. As someone else posted on this thread they're not so great for cutting plastic or thicker things but they are AWESOME for cutting Q's and that's what matters, right?

Is it just me, or has "our" thread been overtaken? By newbies who just want the deal handed to them, and by know-it-alls who answer every question as though they are the authority because they have 10,000 posts?!? Sorry, just had to vent - that was bothering me.

That totally SUCKS!! Two crying kids, and they give you a lousy $3 coupon!!! The least they could've done was give you a few so the kids could go pick out another toy!

yesterday was just a bad day all around. I need to look up that freakin' email address and get to typing
If it helps any, when items go "salvage" and ring up "item not found", they can pick up one of those price gun things and "re-add" it into the system at any price they want... I usually wait until I see the clearance crew walking around marking stuff down and ask them to do it for me - " I found this on the shelf and the price scanner says item not found - how much is it?"

ahhhhh the Jedi......I actually pulled into the checkout area slowly and noted the glaring lack of jedi cashiers at this store
