Poll of the Day > Target Manager gets 30K in DONATION cause of a RUDE CUSTOMER..Whose Side You On

(+) Yeah! (+)

Target manager,Tori Perrotti from Massachusetts received 30,000 in DONATIONS after a customer SHAMED her on social media, along with heer picture because she refused to sell an electric toothbrush that was mistakenly listed for 1 CENT!! But it went to Hell when the manager was called in by the cashier who thought this was a mistake and Tori had to come in to say it was a mistake and refused to sell it to him for that price which was basically free.

David Leavitti posted his anger on Twitter and even called the COPS after trying to buy an Oral B Pro 5000 electric toothbrush that retails for 90 smackeres but was marked on sale for 0.01 in Swansea

The self described award winning journalist tweeted to her that she was breaking the law when she refused to sell it for the price it was advertised and then posted that police said he would need to sue Target and they would make a report about his case and she also refused to sell it for even LOWER than the original sale advertised price!

Tori is described as #TargetTori by people who back Leavitt after it went viral but people soon started getting BEHIND tori as some say Leavitt should be "embarrassed" for trying to shame her by complaining publicly and posting her picture

Many sympathesized with her and started a Gofundme by a stranger who contacted her with the donations

Leavitt said he was buying a toothbrush like this cause he needed one after not being to afford a dentist for 3 years and wanted a good toothbrush and thought it was amazing to see it on sale for a cent!!

He then said Target should be held to account and that corporations are not above the law and the police officer would even testify that he saw the price and the manager wouldnt' sell him that for that price

But by Monday, Perrotti gofundme raised over 30,000 to "send her on vacation".

Tori told NBC News she was grateful for the support and said "My first thought was i wish i had worn makeup to work that day. It's so often that people will take the picture and make a meme out of it in a mean way. so, it's nice to see there's publicity out of this to support me and my feelings"

Target said they back their hard working team members to serve their guests everyday and will work closely with their team on these matters

Whose side are you on?

Something like that is an obvious error so there's really no grounds to expecting to pay a penny for it. If it was mistakenly listed for $10 or $20, I can see a reasonable case for the customer but clearly everybody involved know it's not going to go for that price. And trying to invoke the law for a false advertising claim is completely bad faith in this case.

Its funny cause I never once demanded something at a lower price due to their error... until last week. I needed a cheap pair of headphones for the gym cause my AirPods crapped out on me. And so there were a nice pair for $14.88. I got them and they said theyre actually $19.99.

I wouldve just accepted that fact that it wasnt just this one headphones on the $14.88 rack. It was ALL of them. So it wasnt a simple Customer-Mustve-Put-It-There. Besides, its just $5. Walmart can afford that.

I'd be too ashamed to make that big of a fuss over an obviously mislabeled product.

Most stores here have a mislabeled discount policy - if you find a mislabeled product you can it it for free or discounted up to $10

Its not even mislabeled. The DISPLAY is valued at 1 even though its not for sale. The display features a plastic model that resembles the actual toothbrush but doesnt have any working parts as it has no actual insides. Due to local laws even the display must have a price value associated with it, just like how coupons all say theyre worth 0.1 even if you printed it from the internet. The mistake was bothering to label the display when it wasnt even available for sale, but it was marked correctly as you can clearly see it marked as DISPLAY for 1.

Thank you! The label clearly states display. I was thinking it was an inventory thing with the fiscal year coming to a close, but local law makes sense too. Either way though it is not advertising the product at that price.

---

As others have said, it's obviously a 'price' for the non-functional display (I work at Walmart and we've had people steal the prop cellphones, only to dump them when they realize they're fake). But even if it wasn't a display price, no way in hell would we ever approve a sale for something A, so obviously wrong; and B, such a massive price difference. Last week, some idiot on second shift had put one of those arcade cabinet systems on the wrong display platform, so a customer wanted it for the price the ones on THAT platform were ($250) instead of the price it really was ($400). I was standing next to the assistant manager when he took the radio call, and he said the most he would approve was $20 off.

---

Dude doesn't even know the law. Such a glaring pricing error is exempt from the law for obvious reasons. I particularly enjoyed the tweets he made acting like he was a poor victim denied a toothbrush he'd been eyeing for awhile instead of someone trying to exploit an error and trying to stir up an internet hate mob against a random employee.

no wonder people are sticking up for tori she is kinda cute arv would do her. either way common sense which arv knows people really don't have. would tell arv that it isnt really a cent.

What a spoiled baby. The customer was in the wrong. I cant stand these people.

Customer is the typical sjw, leftist broke journalist soy boy that infests social media. His only purpose in life is to be offended by everything, make a big scene out of it, and try to gather sympathy and attention on Twitter.

And anyone who thinks that low testosterone pink pussy hat wearing idiot is correct, the label was for the price of the display and not the product. As mentioned already in this topic.

---

Yea, I dont see how anyone could be on that guys side. She should have sold him the display for a penny though.

I wish we could love-react to posts on this website.

If I shop marks a price they should sell the product for that price despite their mistake. Some places have done with before with me but have actually honoured the price and took the loss as a mistake on their part. Other places simply don't and that's fine too. They get no sale and everyone makes mistakes. Still this guy publicly shaming a worker who is just doing their job for something so trivial makes me side with the worker.

Why?

Notice how he took a picture of the display (which clearly says DISPLAY on the label itself [reading it is the customer's responsibility]), but no picture of where you would find the actual item itself?

---

Rasmoh posted...

Why?

False advertising.

wwinterj25 posted...

False advertising.

The thing is, false advertising is a crime because it creates the potential to manipulate customers into a purchase they would not have made if the product were not misrepresented, effectively swindling them. If an item's price is mislabeled, that's only going to happen if the difference is relatively minor, in which case the harm is also pretty minor and it's a lot harder to say they wouldn't have bought it if it were properly labeled. In a case like this, the guy lost nothing except the time and emotion he chose to invest into the matter, so you can't really say there's the potential for such harm.

Indeed. I'm not saying mislabelling is a crime but morally it should be upheld due to the stores mistake and false advertising a price to a customer. It's no big deal if they don't honer said price though.

False advertising.

It's not false advertising and businesses shouldn't be forced to take massive losses due to harmless mistakes. This guy isn't a victim of false advertising, he's just an opportunist who didn't get to exploit a labeling error.

False advertising.

Considering that false advertising requires an intent to mislead, one could hardly use it as a reasonable basis for arguing that a store should honor an error. And when it's very clearly an error, the false advertising claim completely goes out the window.

I don't.

The tag says "Display" not the name of an item. As someone who has worked in retail before there are times where a display is an actual product and time where the display is just a display. The way shipping works is the company needs to give the display an item number to keep track of it so they give it a number and a price, generally a penny. Multiple companies I've worked at do this.

A tag for a display is not a tag for the product. It's a mistake, but I don't see how anyone can rationalize this as "false advertising".

Why doesnt the rest of America get 30k in donations everyone gets treated like shit if not worse by someone

---

Items get placed on the wrong places all the time in stores, for you to pay the listed price, it is required for the item's UPC to actually match the one on the sign.

I once got a $20~ish roast for 12 cents, because the price sticker on it said 12 cents.

The cashier was like, "uh, let me get the manager" and the manager was like, "woah. that's not right." but still gave it to me at that price.

I didn't say a fuckin' word throughout the whole thing except "cool" when he said he'd give it to me at the listed price.

Not everyone is pretty. Personally I think she is hideous and the customer a hunk.

Typical dickhead customer. Can't read a sticker and is a brave man picking on people he knows can't be rude back.

Employees can be rude back but they risk their job if they do. Customers know this and use it to their advantage.

It just seems like a mistake. I do know some stores will just accept the mistake and sell whatever it was if it wont cost a major loss (like selling a $5 item for 1 isnt as bad as a $150 item for 15). But I dont think they have to. Since it most likely wasnt false advertising (I think it needs to be intentional), its just a mistake. Suing would waste his time and money because all he would get is a toothbrush for 1, but he may end up losing more depending on how everything goes...
---

As mentioned, it's clearly the display. I would have absolutely offered to sell it to him.

The price is for the display, it written there in the pic lol

guy is super dumb

Frankly I think Leavitt deserves to be hanged by his balls.

So a few people called it false advertising, got their statements destroyed by logic and reasoning, and no one seems to have come back and tried to explain how it was.

Reality is no one sees a 0.01 and thinks it's an actual price. I'm also confident the actual location for the product on the shelf did not list it at a penny despite the lack of a picture for said location.

Dude wasn't a victim of false advertising he was just a jack ass out to ruin the day of some low income employees because he thinks he is better than them. The internet doesn't seem to be fans of ass holes though.

Typical asshole customer looking to get over so busy being a smart ass didn't even know he was buying a display model.

usually what would happen is they don't care then after your transaction go to the meat department and tell them to make sure they are marking their shit right lol

There is no labeling error, when there's a display on a mod, it gets priced at 1 cent. The tickets also clearly says 'Display' on it. When I worked at Walmart, we would turn the display price tags around on the shelf to avoid confusion (if they didn't come with special tags instead). Stuff like this is why I'm glad I worked overnight.
