I got Ryan a game for his leapfrog explorer for Christmas. I made sure it said EXPLORER this time (last summer I got the leapfrog leapster which won't even fit into his game). Gosh darn it if I didn't get the leapPAD explorer game, which only plays the new tablet-like gaming console. All the other games will play on both... but oh no NOT thomas the train. Poor kid, I keep teasing him with these games!
I kept the receipt, but Ryan destoried the box... we didn't know it didn't work until he got it in his game and it said for leapPAD only. He was not a happy camper. I took it last night and they said they can only replace it with the SAME game just for his console. Fine, but I looked it doesn't exist. They looked and found the same thing out... and basically told me I was SOL. I could not get a giftcard, and I could not get another game, it had to the this one. I WAS PISSED and refused to finish my shopping.
Jeff just got off work and met up with me before my chiropractor appointment. I was messaging a friend who used to work at Target and she told me to go ask to speak to a manager. Well Jeff said he'll take it to another Target and handle it.
I swear to GOD that accent works everytime. He got a gift card for it, no problem. No manager needed. I told him he's dealing with all customer service issues we have from now on!
Re: I might be on the I HATE TARGET bandwagon...
They tried to tell me it was a copyright thing, not a target thing. And they can't take back any game at all that have been openned. I call BS
My next step was to take it back, say it was defective. Get a new one in a box, then take that unopened boxed game in for my refund.
I think the accent only works on the opposite sex...
We had issues returning stuff from the wedding. I love their stuff, but not everyone remembers to give you a gift reciept. PITA. I was so pissed, I left the broken lamp in the gift bag I got it in right on the floor at customer service and walked out.
Thou shalt not EVER register at Target again.
I'm cracking up at the accent thing. You're probably right!
I love Target. I was actually just there today but I agree with Jill. I will never register there again. Their registry is a hot mess and a half.
You cant talk to him and not smile listening to it. I think because its so pronounced and its unusual to hear someone up north sound so southern. Very charming.
I've heard of horror stories about Target registeries. But I had 2 girls register there for their babies and it went ok. I like their stuff, and I'm not one to take things back... but the last two times have been AWFUL! AND I HAD RECEIPTS both times!
bahaha I told him he can only use it for good (getting me what I want) not for evil! the other day he said to openned a door for a family, and said something to the kid, and the kid goes - mommy that guy talks different! haha he said it was cute.
