AFTER TRADING CARDS, TARGET TO STOP SELLING FOOD ALTOGETHER, UNTIL PEOPLE LEARN TO BEHAVE!
BREAKING NEWS:
AFTER TRADING CARDS, TARGET TO STOP SELLING FOOD ALTOGETHER, UNTIL PEOPLE LEARN TO BEHAVE!
Earlier this week, we have learned that Target will stop selling trading cards (Pokémon, NBA, NFL, MLB) nationwide, starting from today (May 14th, 2021). The whole trading card collecting has been booming lately, with cards going up in value exponentially. Collectors, along with non-collectors who want to make a quick buck (aka scalpers) have been going to the stores at opening hour and litteraly fighting over trading card packs. Here are a couple of pics that have been seen in various stores:
The decision came after several incidents were reported over the last few months, as adult people were actually fighting over trading cards (See also: GI Joe Classified Series Cobra Island figures / Major Bludd / NECA Turtles in Disguise 4-pack, etc…). An incident in Wisconsin went a bit too far, guns were involved, and the Target employees were tired of having people ask about them all the time (once again, see also: GI Joe Classified Series Cobra Island figures / Major Bludd / NECA Turtles in Disguise 4-pack, etc…).
“I’m definitely gonna get some Pokémon cards today! I feel lucky!”
Somehow, they didn’t bat an eye when the entire country was fighting over toilet paper, but that’s none of our business… (insert Kermit sipping tea meme). There were videos on the internet of litteral fights over toilet paper for months, but that did not make them stop selling toilet paper…
“Hey! It’s limited to 1 per family!”
ToyFarce heard that after reading the comments online about that decision, Target is planning to stop selling anything in the store, whether it is food, clothes, toys, etc… until people learn to behave appropriately.
A representant of Target sent the following statement:
“They’re just cards, for f***’s sake! That’s it, we’re shutting it all down. You all can go to your room and think about what you did!”
The following picture is (obviously) a meme, but we really wish it were true:
Have you ever witnessed some of those fights over trading cards (or toys)? Or did you have a successful hunt and found your Cobra Island or NECA TMNT figures? Let us know in the comments!
