Penny Toothbrush
David Leavitt may be an award-winning journalist, as his Twitter bio proudly claims, but he’s also an absolute nightmare of a customer, if his recent run-in with a Target employee is any indication.
Last week, Leavitt was shopping at a Target in Swansea, Mass., when he came across an electric toothbrush that looked as if it was on sale for a penny. When he tried to buy it, Tori Perrotti, who was handling the register, didn’t go for it. After all, the real sale price was $89.99.
So what did Leavitt do? He took her picture and posted it on Twitter along with the facts of the matter as he saw them, in an apparent attempt to shame her and the retailer.
Only a genuine looking-for-attention jerk is going to put up a stink about a $90 toothbrush that is clearly mis-marked at $0.01.
Rest of the story is here. Note: it ends in a very sweet way.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -

p.s. I wonder if all the other Target stores across America immediately went and checked the shelf price of their toothbrushes?
