[quote name='XClaude']ARGH!
I just came back from a crazy long drive for nothing.
So I wanted a GBA Micro. Called the closest store: none available. Called the second closest that's about 8 miles out, got one available... told the guy to hold it for me and he asked for my name and agreed to hold for me.... great! time to drive out and nab it.
Arrived at the GC only to be told that it's already been held for someone else until MONDAY and the "other guy" who didn't talk to me on the phone is adamant about NOT selling it to me. Ok, that's fine, so he called the NEXT closest store from that GC, which has 1 available too... It is about 5 miles out FURTHER from my home. That's cool. I already went 8 miles, might as well go another 5 miles for the availability. To hell with it right?
Arrived at the second GC and spotted the GBA Micro in the case! Success! ... not really. Guy at this GC is SUPER nice. Very cool guy -- calmed me from my temper. So he rang it up and sold it to me.
.....then he realizes that it needs a charger... Went to the back to dig for it and came back with negative. Looked some more... nothing. Then he walked over to the new Nintendo accessories and grabbed a "universal charger" plug for Nintendo portable systems by Intec and was going to give it to me for free.... Except for the fact that the "universal charger" clearly states on the box that it supports only variations of the DS....
He then proceeds to refund me the system since he can't let me walk off with a machine that can't be charged... Except... the system doesn't register the barcode on the reciept... nor the numbers that he proceeds to type into the computer to process the refund. He made multiple calls to managers and HQ or what not... no go.
Lastly, he proceeds to give me this paper tab and checked refund. He also says that his job might be jeopardized for not going through the system in taking a "game system" back. I was like WTF?! But the guy was really nice and went through with it to get me out of there happy. Not to mention, the whole time, he makes the chatter entertaining since I guess he realizes the possible frustration I might have. He also let me keep the coupons for 1 full year of free rentals for buying a video game system.
Mad props to Matt at the GC in Fullerton(the Yorba Linda store). Best customer service I've seen. I hope he doesn't loses his job or anything. Seems like I'm not meant to own a GBA Micro.
Thanks for hearing my rant. lol[/QUOTE]
... Actually that universal charger for the different variations of the DS does work with the GBA SP & GBA Micro. I just bought a GBA SP today and the guy at my gamecrazy did the same thing (gave me the universal DS charger) and I was sorta skeptical as to if it would work and low and behold it did. You should have just kept it, and not returned it. And about that guys job, it isn't your fault if he gets fired... I mean if they fire him over something as stupid as that then who would want to work for them anyways?
