Rant

Tonight a friend took our twins to pick out a toy for their 8th birthday. Both kids are major into monster high dolls. They've just released a couple of new dolls, which was a surprise, one in particular being a spider girl. As the kids were going through all the different kinds, a lady came up and took all six of that particular doll. I'm pissed because if you tried to buy this doll online, people like this lady, resell them for hundreds of dollars. They're just dolls!! I just don't understand why people would do that to a bunch of kids who just want their favorite character. After the lady walked off, the kids made their way back to the start of the aisle looking for it and were bummed there weren't any left. I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt and think that she's buying them for orphans so they can all play with the exact same toy, but that just doesn't fly. What gives???

Contact the company directly. Buy from said company, have mailed to your door. Prevent stupidity from winning!

Is it possible that the lady buying them did not know your children wanted that particular doll? And some people bulk buy for children that they know, particularly for overseas grandchildren/niece and nephew presents... To be fair, without asking her, it's difficult to know.

I know she heard them because she came up and down the aisle looking for more a couple of times and at one point she was directly behind a kid when they asked if there were any more left. I wish I could give her the benefit of the doubt, but it just seems too shady.
