that has the worst poison on earth Ok here what happened a friend who does us many favors didn’t get to see Aquaman when it came out Target has the DVD for 10 dollars …So we decided to make an Easter basket thing out of it I called ahead to make sure they had some and the lying bastards said "yes we have several … they just came in " so then I ordered it ahead for store pickup and paid ahead for it and while we were waiting for processing we went and seen what they had so we could finish our easter doins The son of a bitch C\*\*Tlappers lied… They canceled the order while we were in the store and we only found out because my aunt went up to pick it up they couldn’t find the order The poor lady had to go to the computers in the back to find out that the gaggle of shitmonkeys they hired to unload and stock the shelves managed to lose all 25 copies of Aquaman after it was put in the system The poor CS lady said and i quote “we have 25 copies but no one can find them in the store” If I hadn’t already paid for the candy we did buy id of thrown it across the store and told them to fuck a cactus eat shit and die … and were out the 9.00 for the uber ride… So as far as I’m concerned target can do what I suggested in the title because between that and store design choices I already don’t care for they can have the case of drislava (aka the drizzling shits) up a rope …and burn in hell ---

well if you’ve ever experienced the extreme hassle it takes for me to be able to get to go somewhere … and it wouldn’t have been as bad if I hadn’t called to make sure it was there before i ordered it and been told “yes we have 20+ copies … should only take 45 minutes to process …” although our uber drivers were nice … i think the one we took home liked my aunt … ---

It wouldn’t surprise me if the missing shipment of DVDs was stolen off the truck while being unloaded. Shit happens. I once drove 40 miles to Ikea to find that the piece of furniture they’d verified by phone was in stock was actually in a spot so high up and remote it was unreachable by ordinary means, and I was SOL. I _was_ able to get money off on a future purchase, though, which you should have been able to negotiate with Target. I’d write a letter to them pointing out the difficulty you had getting there and the money you were out for the Uber. But please, try to write more formally than your OP here. Your posts would have a LOT more impact if you followed conventional punctuation and capitalization. They’re hard to parse as written and look like they’re written by a child or a poorly educated adult - not the impression I’m sure you want to give. ---

well I called target and the person I talked to said that somethings up because if something disappears em masse like that its before they open up the shipping box and put them in the system because each one is scanned by hand as its put on the shelf For all 27 to disappear after that means somethings going on … he kicked it upstairs to the corporate security office and for now, gave me a 10$ gift card for now but said ill be getting a call about it …tomorrow or Monday ---

My store goes through that sort of shit every so often and it’s a pain in the ass for everyone until the culprit(s) are caught and removed. But yeah, it sucks and when it happens it makes you pissed as hell, particularly when you had to make extra effort to make a trip for that one particular item. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > Doesn’t **nightshadea** have a learning disability, so that’s why he types like that? My impression, though of course I could way off-base, is that he’s capable of typing correctly when he wants to. It’s not that difficult to capitalize the first letter of a sentence if you can capitalize other words in the middle of a sentence. He’s also expressed how much he loves to read, and how he wants to be a writer. It would serve him well to get in the habit of using punctuation. ---

It would serve him well to get in the habit of using punctuation. Yeah, it doesn’t need to be perfect, just follow a couple of really simple rules would/could/should **have** or **'ve** not **of** Capitalise first word of sentence. Capitilise names and other proper nouns put commas in at natural stopping points. Nobody is expecting perfect grammar and there is no reason **nightshadea** can’t do at least those 4 things other than stubbornminded laziness. ---

Ever since I heard nightshadea had some sort of disability, I always imagined not being able to use a normal keyboard, having to use like a joystick type setup or something where capitalizing or letters was more effort. I hadn’t noticed a lack of apostrophes, so another idea is that they can’t hold down the shift key. My third idea was that they have trouble remembering the rules, and hide this by simply avoiding all of them. ---
