So check this out.
You guys posted the first list of games, yesterday, and I freaked.
I printed it, and rushed out the door, without stopping for anything. It's at least an hour's drive to my CC.
Well, what was posted, was just what the first guy scored. So, I was only looking for those titles. Of which I scored about 11.
As I checked out, the cashier asked me about how I got the list. I told him my cousin worked for CC. He asked if he could throw the list away for me. I was like, dude, why don't you look at it, at pick some of these up.
He said no, but he'd give it to his friend who's all about games.
So, I get home, and see the other 300 pages of games.
I practically shit my pants.
Today, I headed back out there. Another hour, and $10 in gas. I walk in, and there's the guy I gave the list to. He turns the other way. I was like, WTF.
I get over to the games, and I see they're all gone. I smiled, and thought, wow. Only because no one comes to this store. Then, the first salesman approaches me.
"Hey, you're the guy with the list, from yesterday right"? I said yeah. He tells me that after I left, the cashier took my list to the manager, and complained.
He then went on, to tell me how they prceeded to pull all of the $5 games off the shelves, until next week. When it will be advertised.
I said "no shit".
Next, comes the second salesman. He starts b/s-ing, and asks if he can make a copy of the list, for himself. I say, sure no problem. He comes back, and shakes my hand. he told me anything I still find, can still be purchased for $5.
Now, I did find 2 more games that were hidden, so I was content.
I get to the register, and what happens????
The cashier spins around and waves the manager over. He asks if he can sell the games, because the sale isn't until next week. The manager tells him, that they were on the shelf, and he has to sell them to me.
He get's all pissy, and rings them up.
He tells me that he wanted to pick up some $5 PS2 games for his kids, and now he can't.
BECAUSE OF ME! ...... He goes on to tell me the whole story again, how I was the only one who came in about these games. That now, the games are all pulled, and he can't get them.
He said I should've kept my mouth shut, and kept it on the downlow, and I would've had everything on my list. Then, I turned around, and pointed to the guy I gave my list to, yesterday. I told him it's his fault for showing the manager.
The guy I was pointing at, got real hot, and was like, the sales not until next week. It wasn't fair.
I was like, I'm not hording games, just picking some up, to trade, and keep.
Then I went to leave, and the security guy stops me to check my receipt. He asks where I got the list. I told him my cousin. He asked for a copy. I said go talk to the guy in the media dept., because I just made him a copy.
He said thanks.
So, I single-handedly ruined this deal for everyone in my area,...that's the sad part.
Nobody even knows about this deal, except for the CC employees now,....so that's the FUNNY part.
They had every single title on that list, except for a few of the rarer games. So it really sucks. I wonder if they'll be putting all of them back out. Or I'll have to ask for them....?????
I wonder.
