Target carseat drama
I'm sorry if this has been talked to death already, but someone just emailed me a news story about the Target/Britax for $42 thing - and honestly, I have to ask this. Where is the common sense here?
Someone made a freaking typo. It happens. If it had happened in the store, yes, that price would most likely have been honored. But the major difference is that while THAT PARTICULAR Target would have taken a bath on those seats, only THAT PARTICULAR TARGET'S inventory would have been at risk. Do these people who are OMFG SO UPSET not realize that Target is talking about thousands of carseats in the warehouse inventory, not to mention most likely having to honor those sales for which there were no seats available at the time?
*granted, were I in Target's shoes, I might offer people a little gift card just for the sake of PR, but that's neither here nor there. People seem to honestly believe that Target should honor a price given IN ERROR to potentially millions of people.*
Seriously. Am I just offbase here?
