GAMESTOP WILL GIVE ME MORE!!!!!

more fun in the world of customers who can't read the receipt.

This Lady come in first thing in the morning.

"Hi how are you doing?"

"Good, i'd like to return this game."
Spyro: Hero's Tail PS2 (in case you were wondering)
way to start the day off right....i open the case, the disc is flawless, but give her the benifit of the doubt, just because it common to have this kinda thing happen with PS2 game oddly enough.

"so it wasn't working on your ps2, huh, thats to bad."

"well actually my son here couldn't get past a part. it was too hard for him."
unlucky for her as soon as i heard that i was no longer able to return it. but don't fell too bad, if she'd read the reciept (that she didn't have by the way) she could've avoided this alltogether.

"I'm sorry, we can't return the game just because you didn't like it."

the anger begins to hit her face
"Excuse me?"

"Yes, I'm very sorry, the best I can do at this point is trade it in for the store credit value."

"THATS NOT FAIR!! SO YOU WON'T RETURN HIS GAME HE BOUGHT!"

"I'm very sorry thats the best i can do, our return policy was printed on your reciept."

she seems to calm down a bit but still looks pretty angry.
"Fine, what is the store credit value then"

I begin typeing on the computer to find what the value would be, seeing as she paid only $12.99 i knew it wouldn't be that high. I find it,

"Looks like the store credit value is $5 and $5.50 if you'd like to sign up for a free membership card."

the true anger errupts
"THATS NOT FAIR, GAMESTOP WILL LET HIM RETURN GAMES HE CAN'T BEAT! THATS NOT FAIR!"

"Yes Gamestop has a 7 day trial period, but here we have a try before you buy policy, this is to save YOU the hassle of driving the game home only to find out its to hard for your son, then driving it ALL the way back to return it. With gas as high as it is, that wouldn't be very nice for you."

the whole family looks very confused and i can see a smirk curl on Brady's face as he organizes the disc drawers just out of their sight.

she starts yelling madness and begins talking to the air around her.
"Well.....Does Gamestop trade games, i bet they do, i wonder if they'll give me more, in fact I know they'll give me more, that'll show you."

she grabs the hand of her son who the whole was stareing at our big screen and stomps out. on her way she stops to yell things like "thats not fair" and "I love gamestop". I about had tears coming from my eyes from trying to hold in the laughter.

After this incident me and brady discussed how this would be perfect for todays story (hence me writing it now). but just for laughs we decided to call the nearest gamestop (the one she would most likely have gone to).

"Buy sell trade gamestop this is xxxxx (couldn't hear his name) how can i help you"

I put on my best 12 year old voice
"ummm..yeah...whats the trade-in value on Spyro: hero's tail PS2"

"one Second sir......that'll get you 3 dollars"

me and Brady about explode with laughter. i quickly thank him and hang up.

What a great day.....
