Ahhhhhh, what the heck is wrong with Target employees?!?!?!
Carry a copy of the q policy w you at all times and they still insist you're wrong call corp right then and there. They will surely straighten out the mess. They've even told me to go to the Customer Service desk and use the red phone. I would go back to T, get the candles, call corp right before getting in line and find out who the manager on duty is at the time. Guaranteed you will get your candles. I had a young cashier try and give me a hard time last week by saying the same thing. Didn't work. Stand your ground when you know you'r right.
