Tax Free-For-All

This past weekend, the great state of North Carolina was tax free. Unfortunately for me, it coincided with a long overdue trip to Target which left me with no choice but to brave the throngs of the school supply buying masses. These are the times when people who have obviously never heard the word "NO" in their lives simply lose their minds when they encounter that expression in Target.
In their version of their entitled existence, desiring to shop at the Target means that it's employees should be grateful for the shekels they throw at them as they parade in and out the automatic sliding doors wearing the trappings of upper-middle-class suburbia-namely khakis, Liz Claiborne for her, Ralph Lauren for him, knockoff designer handbags & sunglasses, and a major attitude.
I believe Target wants to attract more "upscale" shoppers, but fails to realize that people with money are accustomed to paying for service-and expect it in a retail environment. But these shoppers simply cannot be naive enough to expect that the service isn't going to be a little "limited" on a tax free weekend. Or that they might have to exercise a smidgen of patience in order to buy all their school supply needs sans taxes. Please. And guess what? If you don't have an ID, you're probably not going to be able to write a check at Target. No matter who you are or who you know.
I actually overheard a woman scream this phrase at a manager: "I don't know why I need ID. I own a business. You can come outside and see my name on the side of the car." She hollered, yelled, screamed, and kicked up a fuss for at least the entire time I was in line for my purchases (Approximately 25 minutes). She called her husband, her daughter, and probably 1-800-TARGET before pulling out a credit card and paying for her household items.
Maybe I should put "Bill Gates" on the side of my car and start writing checks for a couple million. It's the same logic......
