Okay, first things first. I got a wild hair up my ass yesterday and joined Facebook. It seems kind of cool but also like it could be kind of time-consuming. So we'll see how long that lasts. It's another thing I can waste time with ;)
Second. I am almost finished Christmas shopping. I ran all over town today buying, buying, buying. At Target I purchased a very nice snow globe my along with a couple books and some other miscellaneous gifts. Well, the line at Target stretched all the way back to cosmetics and by the time I got to the register I was hot and ready to get out of there. When the cashier rang up the snow globe she just threw it in a plastic bag by itself. I thought about asking her to put another bag around it, but because it was so busy, I didn't. (You know where this is going, right?) I threw the snow globe bag inside of the bag that had a bunch of other stuff, including the books. Then I met up with "the mother" to pick up the kids from the weekend. And I didn't want them to see the bags in the trunk so I carried all the bags into the house myself.
And wouldn't you guess, the one bag I dropped was the bag with the snow globe in it. It shattered and immediately soaked everything else in the bag, including the two books.
So what do you think, should Target replace these things for me or is it my fault? I'm torn. And it was a terrible way to cap off a day of shopping.

Target should replace the items. Just because they are busy, doesn't give a right to not pay attention to detail. What if you had bought fine crystal flutes? Would they have thrown those into a plastic bag too?
Way back a hundred years ago, I worked at Meijer. Funny that I recalled this today while standing in line in the exact store that I worked at... A woman had bought liquid fabric softner. They put it in a bag, and she put it in her car. Apparently the lid wasn't on tight and it got all over everything, including the carpeting in her trunk. Meijer replaced all of the carpeting at no cost to her, since it came from her store.
I would at least try...I mean it can't hurt to take it in...take the whole bag w/the books and all and show it to them. See what happens...
