I work at a video game and gaming hardware retail store, and I've had some weird events happening while working.
>working on a saturday a while back >this kid walks in and tries to buy CoD AW >hey kid, I need your ID if you wanna buy that > "stfu user I can buy this I have prestige 6 on Cawwaduty" >the mom walks in >ma'am, are you aware your child is trying to buy a Call of Duty game? > "why isn't he allowed" >I explain to clueless shit mom that the game contains blood and gore and is rated M for a reason > "well he can behave, he's an angel at home" >kid is turning red of anger >tomato.jpg >I still recommended them something without a violent community >Mother asked me for something else that's "hip" and "cool" >I went to the back room >Manager looked at me > "The fuck are you going to do, user" > "Give them the best game, sir." >Balls of steel engaged >I grabbed a used copy of the game >Went back to the shelf and presented it to mom > "this looks good, right sweetie?" >I tell clueless shit mom that it's one of the best games we got on the used-shelf > "we really don't know why people would bring it back, it's really good" >kid loses his shit and starts crying >I try to hold in my laugh >fortykeks.png >kid breaks all the keyhangers on the shelf >mom still bought him the game around 30 bucks >manager saw the whole thing > "user, you actually successfully sold that shitty game" >kid and mom didn't return for a few weeks >mfw I sold a mother a copy of Duke Nukem Forever

I was wondering if you could help me.." >Well it's my job to help > "Jason's X- ehh- X box is acting weird, but he just loves his games" >She tells about the malfunctioning xbox and says she needs a cool game >Kid is waiting outside, because we filed assault on cleric for the kid last time >He's at least a block away from the store >Master plan coming up >I go to the back, grab a box with 'Wii' written with a sharpie >I see the jewel >Yes >This will do >I hold a copy of Sonic Unleashed >Fuck yes >Put game on the counter >Proceed to tell that the game is really cool, kids loved it back when wii was popular blah blah blah >Mom says ok, but is going to confirm with her son >Fuck >Uhh >Tell her it's a game about a blue guy beating monsters and completing quests >If plan goes right, kid will think it's some kind of Monster Hunter game >Yes, perfect

Edgy frustration oozes from your pores, it's good to get back at shitty bratty kids but you just revealed that you don't even care, you do it you resent people that have a family and don't work at retail like you, they actually came to you for help, hopefully the kid just played it cool like I would have done back then and that mom didn't feel bad about it.

You seem chill, for losing 5 co workers.
