try before you BUY no make sense to retards

slow day today. despite the fact that we have a blog about the morons we deal with, i actual do enjoy helping people out. but when there are no people to help, it gets a little boring (you can only organize a wall so many times.) so to set my mood for you, I was really bored/irritated.

so late in the afternoon kid comes in. he is a regular. and by regular i mean he regularly comes in, he has never bought anything. he does have a member account so i can actually look up his purchase history and indeed he has bought nothing. he wanders the store for a bit stoping at each tv with wide eyes.

he eventually make his way up to the counter where i am helping a customer. He speaks over our conversation and say:
"Can I play the games on the tv?"
Me and the customer imediately stop talking. before i could get out my response of "hold on" the customer says in a very angry tone:
"Excuss me! we were having a conversation! That was extremely rude what you just did. I'm sure the nice man here would love to help you out as soon as he is done here!"
both me and the kid were shocked. he slowly made his way to the other side of the store. as soon as he was out of ear shot i wipered:
"thanks, a bunch."
"no problem someone needed to teach him, obviously his parents didn't"
i finished up helping this fine gentleman and he was off. the kid then slowly made his way up to counter yet again.
"Can i play the games on the tv?", he almost wispered.
"No not right now." i said
"but your sign says "try before you buy"" he said with little more courage.
"yes it does, so people who are going to get the game can try it before they leave." i said with no emotion.
"well...... i want to get......THAT ONE!" he then points aimlessly at the ps2 wall.
"sorry it is "try before you BUY" not "Arcade", plus i'm a little busy at the moment" just as i say this a horde of people, all in seemingly different parties, pour in store. and as it was a slow day i needed to help them out and try to get them to actual buy something. however the kid would not end our conversation.
he followed me to everyperson i helped and tryed to talk over every single conversation to ask me to try the games on the tv. Me and the customersi helped just ignored him. finally i got to the last couple, an older couple slighly hard of hearing, (i guessed from how loud they talked and how many times they asked me to repeast myself.) but very nice people.
in the middle of our conversation with the kid still asking ever 2 seconds she leans over to me and asks (in a voice she thinks is soft but we can all hear very clearly)
"Is that boy.....umm....i'm not sure how to ask this, but is that boy retarded?"
i leaned close to her and replied just loud enough for her and her husband to hear,
"yes, he comes in quite a bit and just repeats the same phrase over and over again, very sad really."
after our conversation i leave for the counter and i look back to see her on her knee talking very gently to the kid.
at this point i am almost crying trying not to laugh, laughing would totally ruin this moment.
after a minute the lady leaves the store and not to long after so does the kid.
about 30 secs latter doug (part time guy) walks back in from getting his lunch. its very sad that i am the sole witness to this greatness....
