This is a wonderful expirience i had with a target store in Watertown,SD,when i tried to get a nintendo wii. I called around noon to ask if they had any nintendo wiis,the lady who answered asked if it was about the wii right away when i asked for electronics and said they had 5 of them,now they are 4 hours away from me so i ask if she can hold one and she says no...ok fine,i go to get some friends and we head for Watertown,calling along the way to see if they are selling down,everytime i talk to the same moron who tells me Yes we have 5 of them,last time i call is probably 30-45 mins before arriving at the store and she tells me the same thing,so im thinking cool ill get one. We get to the store i walk back to electronics and the kid working tells me they sold out an hour and a half ago....WTF!?!?Targets customer service retard just told me you had 5 of them!WOW that was reeeaally funny,woulda been hilarious if i broke her jaw over it.Anyway i complain to the manager and she tells me she will talk to her 'Team' about it (wow that makes me feel better)so the moral is-never trust a target customer service rep,they cant count to 5...... Oh and then i call corporate to complain and say that if she cost the Target store as much money as she cost me in gas she woulda been fired,and the guy i talked to on the phone says,'What does that have to do with me'WTF you idiot you're the guy people call to complain WTF do you mean 'What does that have to do with me' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My target....i went there 10:00pm Nov. something. I asked the guy if they had any PS3's and he siad I'll ask my manager(didn't know shit) He comes back and tells me 45 systes tomoorw in a thick accent. I am ll happy, so I go to the target next day at 5:00Am and wait until 8:00AM. the manager caomes out and says we have 45 wiis. Man was i pissed off. I was not gonna go home empty handed though.......

Yeah, that sucks but, it's not all Targets. She was probably too lazy to go check and just assumed that noone had bought them. Let me tell you though, Wal-mart is a hell of a lot worse.

The way i went about getting my wii was by asking gamestop when they were expecting some more in. Then on the week they said they were going to be getting some in i asked when they arrive there shipments from UPS. I went to the store an hour before there UPS gets there and i waited around. Sure anough in came the UPS guy with the Wii's! I grabbed the first one from there shipment! Thats the best advice i can give u! It worked for me. I did the same exact thing for my extra wii remote. Works every time
