New Dislike for Target

MaKenna has been sick for the past 2 days now. She has a runny/ stuffy nose and diaper rash. She has had a low grade fever and a little cough. Well she is also teething..... So do I freak out and think she has a cold or do I just pass it off as teething? Well i thought I would take some precautions and treat it like a cold but not really worry about it because really I know there is not a lot I can do for her. Soo....

all of this is really leading up to why I'm so mad at Target.

So the first thing I do is wipe everything down with Clorox wipes and disinfect everything all of her toys and wash all of her bedding. I also wanted to use a humidifier.. Well the one I got for my baby shower was not the one that I decided I wanted. I had registered for on from target and that's the one I got but then I used my sisters little Vick's vaporizer and I fell in love with it. So I decide to take the one I had received as a gift off of my registry from Target back to Target. I was not given a receipt but I didn't think it would be a big deal since it had been purchased off my registry. I mean I have taken stuff back without a receipt there before.

So I leave my sick daughter with my tired husband to head off to Target to go purchase a few things to help her feel better. I get to target and they have a help wanted sign up in the window and I think to myself, hey maybe I could work part time here.... I go inside and go up to Guest Services to return my little humidifier. I am the only one there and even with two people behind the counter they just ignore me and I wait for a few minutes while they talk before I just go and sit down the humidifier on the counter and say "can you help me?". By now I already have a little bit of an attitude because they made me wait. So the girl takes it and I tell her I'm sorry that I don't have the receipt but it was purchased off of my registry. She looks at me and then says well i'm sorry because we can't take it back. LOL, Apparently there has been lots of fraud with returning items off of the gift registry at Target. I just said Fraud? Are you kidding me? Its a freaking humidifier and its off my baby registry...... The girl then told me I could either get the receipt from the person or she recomended I sell it on E-bay.

As I walked out of the store I suddenly remembered why I sometimes shop at Wal-Mart which is located right across the street from Target. Its not because they have significantly lower prices on diapers, formula, baby clothes Or because my brother works there oh no. Its because they always take anything you purchase from them back.

Anyway that has put a new distaste for Target in my mouth and I doubt I will be shopping there anytime soon. I did end up going over to Wal-Mart to finish my shopping.
