Cam we have a previous midnight release thread? Can include good or bad memories. I'll start:
>Almost a year ago
>Black 2/White 2 are being released
>Plan to get it midnight as soon as I can at the local Walmart
>Ask an employee earlier on
>"Umm, yeah, if you come in at midnight tonight, maybe say, fifteen minutes after or so, we can definitely get you a copy"
>Sounds good to me
>Get there at midnight with a few friends
>See ONE guy at the electronics department, in his sixties
>"Hello, do you work in the electronics department?"
>He answers, "SOMEtimes"
>Alrighty then
>"I'm looking to buy a game that was just released today"
>He replies, "I got no info on that. Come back Tuesday. That's usually when we get shipments!"
>"Well, if you checked your back storage, I'm sure you will find plenty of copies ready to be put out and sold, so..."
>He interjects with, "Look son, it's late, and I don't quite feel like messing around with the inventory"
>Leave Walmart slightly disgruntled and disappointing, especially since I'm leaving town in the morning
>Customer service at it's finest
>On my way out, I stop at Gamestop and pick up a copy for later
>Never buy a Pokemon game from that Walmart ever again
I'm really glad I didn't have to deal with that idiot for my preorder of Pokemon Y. Pic related, my face when that went down.
