Yeah I’d heard of people doing this & I was kinda suspicious right off the bat… I’m hoping this isn’t a widespread thing and that maybe he was just annoyed from being asked so much. Either way I’ll be making the trip out on Friday morning, hopefully there’s at least one pack out lol.
I don’t think Target employees can purchase on their shift so they were probably setting some aside for themselves to purchase on break. I’d like to read the thread at Reddit if you have a link handy. Hope that employee is reprimanded because they could request the day off and stand in line/wait like anyone else. Just because you work for a retailer selling it doesn’t mean you get priority access to something like this. They probably think they deserve these because they want to reward their ‘hard work’. You ain’t seen hard work til you worked for free on your family’s farm growing up.
Personally I dont see anything wrong at all with an employee putting something aside for themselves to buy later.I don’t think Target employees can purchase on their shift so they were probably setting some aside for themselves to purchase on break.

Amazon is saying the cards will arrive next Tuesday and Walmart next Thursday.
An update for Canadians
A friend spoke to someone at ebgames who said they're expecting the cards in the store on Friday but may be limited to one pack per person!
So this gives me hopes that Bestbuy and Walmart may carry them too *fingers crossed*!!!
Oh for sure they weren't buying them on their shift; heck not even employees themselves can buy the product early. Just sucks if there are other employees like this who are taking advantage of their position...I don’t think Target employees can purchase on their shift so they were probably setting some aside for themselves to purchase on break.

If it's not against store policy and it's a product that has been on the shelf for a while, I can understand. But when it's an unreleased product that is in as high demand as the S5 cards, it's little off. Some customers wait over an hour in line hoping to get cards, and if a chunk of them are already hidden away by employees, that just leaves real customers with even less of a chance at getting a pack. The OP of the thread also said:
The staff member who hid them did not go public with it.
Yeah but that's company specific
, but it was
