Holy fuck. Folks, especially fellow Poland-anons, I just had the adventure of the year today. Feel free to call me pathetic over pulling such a scheme in order to get my hands on a figurine I wanted or "cool story bro" me, but the adrenaline rush I got is 100% real and that's all that matters. And this story feels so bonkers and surreal that I just have to post it.
>Looking through the aisles of a local TK Maxx to see if there's anything neat, only a couple bucks on me, if there's anything interesting I'll just go pick up my funds from home and come back, no big deal, I thought to myself
>Suddenly I see a cardboard box
>Goddamn G2 Ramjet for less than 90PLN (Voyagers usually cost twice that in Poland)
>Thinking to myself "Neat! Lemme just go back home and come back to pick him up. Good day, nice find"
>Suddenly a guy that looked 1:1 like the zoomer wojak meme (broccoli haircut, wireless headphone things, earring, sipping something) comes and starts eyeing the same box
>I'm in a good mood so I crack some small talk like "a fan of the Seekers too, dude?"
>Doesn't understand what I'm talking about but is happy to talk
>I let it slip that I'm excited to find a figure we never got in normal retail here
>Broccoli Boy stares at me and starts talking about how that must cost a lot and he'd gladly buy it to resell
>OH NO.jpg
>I only have some spare pocket change on me since I wasn't planning on much besides attending lectures and going home today, so I can't instantly buy Ramjet
>Thinking I'll just leave it at the counter for a moment like I'd do sometimes as a kid, then come back with some proper spending money, even told the clerk some silly story like "excuse me, I'd like to buy this for my nephew but I forgot my wallet haha", basically just some really cringeworthy spur-of-the-moment lingo
>Denied
>Well then, I'll just hide him somewhere for a moment and come back shor-
>Broccoli Boy has been following me all across the store today giving me a smug look
