No kidding. These Target mom's are scaring me!
I was at a Target on wednesday morning because I had a hunch things would go
to 75%. As I walked through, the place looked the same as usual, then I hit
the toy isle.
Utter savagery, moms running up and down the isles dumping stuff into their
cart and then making a little pile under the price scanner as they checked
prices. I'll admit, I soon joined in the foray as well as this was my
first 75% off Target experience, but I never expected to see anything like this.
So not only are we trying to beat other AFOL's to the merchandise but we now
have to deal with the "clearance moms" and let me tell ya, they are a
hungrier shopping animal. But hey, they still have a ways to go before they
can spot a 4561 from 40 feet away. :)
