Every once and a while one of those stories come along that restore our faith in humanity, before that same fragile faith is quickly crushed again by some new and discouraging headline. Well, at least we can enjoy this deeply satisfying tale of goodhearted people banding together to fundraise a $30K vacation for "Target Tori."

Apparently Tori was mistreated and generally bombarded with BS by a rude customer over a damn toothbrush. He tried to publicly shame Tori, and it backfired in the best kind of way. 

You can check out the GoFundMe for Tori over here if you're curious on how things played out.

    Text - David Leavitt @David_Leavitt Corporations like @target are not above the law. The police officer told me they'd testify that they saw the price and that the manager wouldn't sell me the item for the price listed.

G.L. c. 94, s. 184C(i)(2) @AskTarget random weight. This subsection shall not apply if: (1) there is evidence of willful tampering; or (2) the discrepancy is a gross error, in that the l
