TARGET SHOPPER TRIES BUYING EXCLUSIVE VALENTINE'S DAY STANLEY CUP-GETS AN UNEXPECTED MESSAGE WHEN SHE SCANS IT AT REGISTER

One Stanley fan, a TikTok user named Nikki (@nikki.camara), recently went viral with a post about one of the cups because she wasn’t allowed to purchase it.

Nikki thought she was “hitting the jackpot” when she spotted a deep red Valentine’s Day edition of the cup on Target’s shelves. 

So she grabbed a 40 oz. “The Flowstate Quencher H2.0 Tumbler” in the special edition color and then headed to checkout to try and purchase it.

The clip then quickly cuts to the error message that popped up on the checkout machine: she wasn’t allowed to purchase it until December 31.

Several viewers shared how they would’ve walked out of the store with the cup that day while still paying. “I definitely would’ve scanned another Stanley, and placed that one down in a bag and then proceeded on my day,” one user said.
