Well you can always make it a "class action" complaint with the news station.
I mean why should you get to bully Target with the news media just to get what you want and others who did not have reciepts just like you did not, and were not be able to return their items...let's say just for example an "I Love Lucy" season one DVD set.

Sorry but the policy is in place for a reason and its very strange that people are not aware that they get two reciepts with these registery gifts, one for their records and a gift reciept.
