Board 8 > 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?

Don't be that guy

Im with Toothbrush on this one.

Omg poor women. If you side with that asshole, then you've obviously never worked retail. We have to put up with some of the fucking dumbest, rudest, most unpleasant people on the planet.

Some people are so entitled, it's ridiculous.

Couldn't she sue him for defamation of character or something?

This is one of the absolute worst cases of "the customer's always right". A policy that sorely needs to be abolished. The customer is never right.

Aren't they required to sell it for that amount? I remember getting Yoshi's Story for like five bucks through a similar error back in the day. That said it sure ain't worth harrassing people over.

The info in the topic post it is slightly misleading.

The 1 cent sticker is on the display, and literally says "Display Unit" on it. Stores often have those for something to scan for inventory.

I think it depends on the laws in your area and even then it might come down to common sense. Like a $90 toothbrush for $0.01 is so obviously a mistake that no rational person should believe that they are actually selling it for that.

Well if that's the case then the guy is a complete and utter asshole/moron.

This is true either way.

True, but if it wasn't the case he would be more just an asshole than moron but as it stands he is equally both and at a high level too.

1 cent on an item means it is not sellable.

Its a standard retail policy. If something scans as 1 cent in the system it is an item that was missed when we got rid of things.

Sometimes the manager typed in a price of a similar item to please the customer. But you are never allowed to actually sell something marked at that price. (Though Gamestop did give me several strategy guides marked as a penny to me because they were just going to throw them away. I had a good Gamestop)

Edit: looks like its a display copy. Still not sellable.

The "display model" note on the price tag is all that's needed to show Target Tori is in the right. Plus, all retailers have nebulous "We reserve the right to refuse service" policies, for incidents just like this one.

All that said, a tip for when you find actual "pennied out" items on the sales floor and they scan that way - if at all possible, go through self-checkout. As an example, Walmart occasionally marks shit down to $0.03/item as a "return to warehouse" signifier, but the individual stores rarely bother to remove them from the sales floor. Human cashiers can still refuse the sale (though some are chill and let the register do its thing), but take 'em to a self-checkout and you're home free.

SOURCE: I went spelunking across a ton of Walmarts in multiple cities during the greatest Nintendo "sale" of all time.

Reading about this earlier, even if it wasn't a sticker for the display (which has a different SKU), they wouldn't have to honor that price anyway. Apparently that rule only has to apply to groceries, and apparently it doesn't apply if the error price is less than half of what the normal price is supposed to be.
