Funny how many "grown" men are crying about this but have no problem crying to mattel about the paint issue on Kane's elbow. I'm not going to call corprate but the amount of people in the service industry that don't realize they're there to provide a "service" is sad. If all the "crybaby" customers didn't shop there how many of you people would have a job in the first place??

Being 45, I've never fully understood "trolling". But to want to try and troll a TOY FORUM with a very specific thread makes me question your sanity. Please get help ... or just put your head in an oven. Thanks. Here is a question, I am 48, you said 45. Do you think there should be a cut off age for figure collecting. I sometimes get the feeling, my friends and relatives look at me weird, because I am almost 50, and still collect. I see no issue with it. but i also dont stand at stock room doors asking for people to go find me shit. I Pre-order what i need from Ringside and get it when they ship it, which is usually a few months before retail. so i never felt the need to come on a Wrestling Fig forum and complain about employees not "doing their job" by "Stopping their job description, to go hunt for a figure, that may be 1 per case" |

Target workers get yelled at by crybaby toy collectors over something on Brickseek they know nothing about and accused of theft with no proof whatsoever. Show some respect for once. People have to shop at Target and Walmart for toys because they are the only 2 mass retailers carrying the latest releases. |

So you are another one that likes to throw fits to get what they want or something for free. People like you are what make working retail crap. It’s also people like you that will don’t know what’s important about running a retail business Ask any owner what would they rather thee employee do, any person with half a mind for running retail will always tell you to help the customer, your probably one of those lazy workers that don’t want to do their job correctly and lay around as a lifeless body until it’s time to go home, but hey if you get paid to do that more power to you, but others don’t I hate when people on here act like they have such great morals lol Bwahahaha, that is the biggest BS paragraph EVER. Dude, I was/Am the owner of a small business. Helping the customer, also means, educating them on how the stock works, how elves do not just magically pull boxes out of thin air. Its called CUSTOMER SERVICE. you are there to SERVICE the customer, and at times going above and beyond. but there is a cut off point to Entitled bungholes who think we need to stop the day to day business activities that help the business run, because he is looking for something that is on pegs until they sell out, and then replenished, if available. we do not just put in orders for cartons of action figures, there is something in the system that lets us know when stock is low. with action figures, the replenishment doesn't always mean the same item. for example with WWE Figures. say we just put out a fresh carton of Basic 128, and we sell out, but then Basic 129 Comes out and we get that to replenish the basic wave. we cannot just say, nope, we are not putting that out, until they replenish Basic 128. THAT IS NOT HOW RETAIL WORKS. However, in other parts of the store, yes, if we are out of 60 watt LED GE lightbulb, because its not being replaced every month with a new wave. they will continue to stock that item, until GE decides to change the UPC or Model number. Then Replaces it with the same item, under a new UPC or Model Number. How about you blame Mattel for releasing almost 3 or 4 different products at retail monthly. oh i know, then you will bitch that they are not releasing your favorite figure right away, or its taking too long. Well when there are 30 Brauns sitting on pegs, they are not going to magically clear the shelf for the next wave. hope this makes sense. and you GET why you are wrong in that sentence. |

I hate when workers don’t do what they are paid to do, sometimes they act like it’s not their job to help the customer when looking for items in the back, yeah sure it’s probably not something you do everyday but it is something that you get paid to do even if you don’t get asked everyday As for the young man getting fired? No, I’d much rather complain and get a gift card or something, and I actually get way more out of that end up then I would out of getting the poor guy fired Only employee I ever went for far with was recently when a man accused me of stealing target bags (since they started charging for them) and I clearly did not, I told him I didn’t and I put the correct amount of bags, he told me no I watched you put 0 bags but it’s ok you can go, well after showing my receipt to the manager and pretty significant altercation with the man plus a call to corporate, I didn’t campaign for the man to get fired but I did not have problem if they did, I mean getting accused of stealing which I really feel was racially profiling me, it just didn’t sit well with me Lol sorry for the rant They are not just going to give you a gift card just because you complained about someone finding something in the back, which was not in his job description, he does not work in the back, he works on the floor, he is not part of the merchandise team, he just works in said department, also, if you do call corporate and complain, before they just issue you a gift card, they are going to investigate the claim. if everyone just called corporate for every little thing, the company would be facing bigger issues. that day of "The Customer is always Right" BS. stopped about ten years ago, when it was made abundantly clear people were over exaggerating situations, so they can get a free gift card or discount. its part of Loss PREVENTION, which i have done before. as far as calling corporate to get someone fired, because he thought you stole a bag, and attempted to get him fired. why? if you did not steal, then what were you worried about, getting a reputation for stealing bags. nothing looks suspicious then someone who just doesn't walk away from something like that, you showed the manager the receipt. great. if he did not get the police involved, walk away. calling and complaining, just makes you look more suspicious. just saying Wait…. You think a worker at a retail store stopping you in a crowd of people at self checkout to inspect your purchases and accuse you of stealing and and then tells me but it’s ok just go ahead in some type of attempt to embarrass me when he was wrong is not a big deal? I’ll be damned if I was profiled, lied on and attempted to embarrass and not do anything about it, how dare anyone accuse someone for stealing a 8 cent bag when they didn’t After I proved him wrong I walked with my receipt with his manager and demanded a apology and he walked away, That man was a disrespectful human being, I know if I get the guts to stop someone and accuse them of stealing I better be right and if I ain’t, you better believe not to make my company I work for look bad I will AT LEAST apologize, but you guys can make a go fund me for him if you’d like |

Next time someone asks you why retailers are having such a hard time hiring and retaining, just show them this thread.
Who TF would want to serve customers like this?

So you think asking a working to go in a the back and look for a item is above and beyond? You think a man asking for help and someone agreeing to do it and goes and takes a 5 minute personal time break instead is ok? Come off it, I don’t care what you own, if a employee of yours does that your telling me you won’t correct it? If that’s the case, please let me know are you hiring? Cause I’d love to work for you Now a days people just want to get paid for nothing, this is a lazy generation, a entitled one too, and I say that for both parties, the one who’s searching for something and the one who is suppose to help, any job is degrading I don’t care what it is, even being a owner is degrading because there is always a boss over your head and that’s the customer, people with that attitude are the most successful, I’ve never seen someone file for bankruptcy because they want to make the customer happy, when target does stupid crap like what that man did to me, they always do things that go above and beyond to keep you a customer, target has a call center especially for this, it’s call “store experience” and because the higher ups are always willing to make things more than right when things like this happen, I’m a customer for life, not only for figures but for everyday house items and essentials, that’s what you call good business, those little $5 or $10 gift cards they offer have cost me thousands, so who’s winning here? |

me if I worked at target and had to deal with customers that think this way also me after reading this thread Retail is the absolute worst. I've worked for Wal-Mart, Target, and Sears, and it's honestly a toss up by the day to describe which one was the worst, and why. Between every variation of wf member theman, of which you'll encounter at least one a day, and the employees "who do their job well enough to eventually get paid what they deserve" (LOL) who become supervisors/managers and buy in to the fiction of the employee/consumer relationship on paper in the hopes that perpetuating such fantasy will elevate them even further up the retail food chain, it's enough to drive even the most well adjusted among us to dive off a bridge. |

That employee should've slapped you in the face. Just wind up and WHACK. That might've snapped you out of whatever psychotic episode you were clearly experiencing at the time. Then they should've banned you from the store for life, and all other Targets in your state and the ones that surround it.

So you think asking a working to go in a the back and look for a item is above and beyond? ? Actual, at most major retail stores where stock is electronically managed, workers are not supposed to pull stock from the floor like that. In fact, it’s likely against the rules. Signed, a former back-stock manager. |

I don’t know the specifics of every store’s systems of course, (and TBH don’t really think the employees selling figures is as big an issue as people make it out to be) but that said probably not because I would imagine if an employee is doing that they’re technically scanning them onto the floor first. |

Its primarily toy collectors blaming somebody when they dont get what they want. You have people posting pics and videos of their toy hunts where they clean out the shelves and are congratulated on nice finds and a job well done, while store employees are accused of theft with no proof. |
