Recall Hernia
With the school year approaching, I figured it was time to buy some new furniture for my dorm (the room in my parents basement that I’ve lived in for the past 5 years). So for cheap furniture that could get the job done, I figured Target would be a good choice. On my first trip, I purchased a 5 shelf bookcase. It was fairly cheap, fairly easy to assemble, and looks great in my room. Since I’m bored with my current computer desk that I have had for almost a decade, I decided its time for it to go. While I was picking out my bookshelf, I had my eye on a matching desk that would surely look good in place of my current desk. So I went back for it.
I got to target, located the desk and looked for the pricetag. Just a barcode. So I lift the 80 or so pound box and carry it over to the price scanner and scan it. $79.99 is a more than fair price for this fine looking desk. I lift the sucker back up onto my shoulder and make my way to the checkout line before this thing falls over and injures me. It was anything but an easy task. The checkout line is backed up so an employee onforms me that i can make my purchase at the customer service section. SoI lug it over there, scan it, the man tells me I cant buy it. I ask why not. It’s recalled. WHAT THE HELL IS IT DOING ON YOUR SHELF!?
I dont mind someone telling me I cant buy something if theres a good reason, but take it off the damn shelves before someone who wants it carries it across the store only to be told they cant buy it. I didn’t get my desk. Instead I think I got a hernia. Thank you Target.
