This 50% off a different toy each day thing is obnoxious. If the deal is any good, we are out within hours. This morning we ran out of the Our Generation dolls within 2 hours. We didn't get any on the truck. So that was 12 hours of people being pissed off at us. Other days people simply call the night before to ask us to hold the item.
One day last week there was a recommendation on some blog site that people should do a price match to target.com and then get the cartwheel deal. And then I had people pissed off because I wouldn't do it because that's against our price match policy. I tried to explain to people that we do the cartwheel first, and if that lowers the price below whatever they want to price match to, then there's nothing to price match...but because some stupid blogger tells them to do it, they get pissed at me for not breaking policy.
The first day we couldn't even figure out what toy it was supposed to be, because whatever was in the description matched what we had on the floor, but the cartwheel didn't work on any of them.
It sounds like a great idea in theory, but it's a nightmare for those of us stuck dealing with this.
