When I was into racing for a time as a teenager I used to adore the meet and greets that the race car drivers used to have but now I've noticed that celebrity meet and greets started to go downhill especially sports star meet and greets and I would like to know why did they do this to celebrity meet and greets now? Take for example when I attended a meet and greet to meet some Indy Car drivers once me and some other fans were very excited to meet the drivers but before we could meet them the TV news crew very rudely told the fans in line "Me and the other people" that they were gonna interview the drivers before they could meet and greet with fans and it was shocking to me that they would do this to sports stars. It used to be that after meet and greets the news would interview celebrities and when I saw this I was shocked myself. I mean doesn't the news know that this is meet and greet time not interview time? Another thing I noticed that got me started disliking celebrity meet and greets is that they would promise celebrity meet and greets at stores but the meet and greets never existed or would happen. I witnessed this type of meet and greet when a Target store promoted a race car driver meet and greet and I was planning to take my aunt her boyfriend and my cousin to meet the drivers with me. We got to Target and found it deserted and the only indication that there was gonna be a meet and greet with the race car drivers was a tent full of souvenirs and posters and a model car. I then went inside Target and the only thing that was inside was a podium full of autograph pens and chairs for the drivers and I then searched the store to see if the drivers were shopping and no luck and I asked an employee when the meet and greet would start and the employee told me Target cancelled the meet and greet because their race cars had car troubles and could not meet their fans and I told him he was lying and then he started calling me names and bullying me and he called me a liar and I left Target angry and mad. I mean HOW DARE Target promises something and then lies about it. Another thing that I noticed about celebrity meet and greets is that they now want to charge people to meet them. When I would visit Walmart they always had NFL players and charged fans a dollar to meet them and I can't figure out when celebrities especially NFL players want to charge people money to meet them and I saw this as the new style of celebrity and greets of the future. I can't believe that this is the style of celebrity meet and greets and they should always be free to people in my eyes. The only type of meet and greets I enjoy are Disney character meet and greets but why people go crazy over celebrity meet and greets i'll never know
