Well, my Target had the Easter items at 90% off today also. I bought 2 beautiful Easter baskets made of tin that had pretty ceramic eggs hanging on them [they were $7.99 ea., so I got them for 79 cents]. I also bought a pretty windchime for I think 59 cents [orig. $5.99], a door hanger that was 3 painted eggs that hung one over the other [orig. $11.99, I got it for $1.99], an egg coloring kit and some little baby booties. The cashier was kind of rude and barely looked at me during the transaction. I was getting my money out and didn't notice that he shoved everything into one bag [it really didn't fit either]. Well, he took my money and handed me my reciept without a word and just looked away, leaving my bag sitting there -- he didn't hand it to me. So I picked up my bag, said thank you, and left. When I got home I noticed that my pretty windchime, the egg coloring kit and the 2 pairs of baby booties were not in the bag. Apparently, he shoved all my big stuff into one bag and he must have put the teeny tiny stuff in another [which just doesn't make any sense...if he was going to use 2 bags, he shouldn't have smushed all my big stuff into one]. Also, if he had paid any attention to me at all and handed me my bags like he should have, the items wouldn't have gone unnoticed. I got such great deals on these items and the money it would cost me in gas to go back would be more than what I orginally spent. I called the store and they do have my items. I asked them if they would mail them to me. The girl was really nice and said they don't usually do that, but that someone would get back to me tomorrow and let me know if it is possible. She said the person calling me back is the guy in charge of stuff that people leave behind. Well, I didn't leave it behind! It was never given to me!!! Aaaaaargh!!!!

I just know they are going to tell me I have to go back to pick it up. It's a 25 minute drive and the items only came to around $1 or so, so I'm not going to bother going back. But I'm so upset. I really liked the windchime. If I left it behind and it was truly my error, I would never expect them to mail it to me. But it was not my error. Do you think it is realistic for me to want them to mail the items to me?
