Not sure if anyone is still here but I have a pretty bad cringe story. Its about pokemon and gamestop. Happened to me a little while ago and I still think of it.
>win gamestop pokemon tournament by landslide
>Ubers were allowed so Mega Gengar and Extreme Killer Arceus rampaged through everything
>prize was one of two ORAS games and an extra $10 if I can beat the "elite 4" challenge which is no restrictions lv 100 only my arceus and Palkia are lv 100.
>still steamroll these gamestop employees despite all of them carrying at least one mega mom and Ubers
>3rd and 4th get their prizes of the 5$ preorder
>have to wait till a friday for mine
>show up that friday
>try to trade in games for smash Wii U or Bayonetta 2
>forgot my ID at home/whole wallet so no trade
>"the guy who's paying your game is talking with higher ups in the back so just wait a little he'll be out soon"
>I wait at least 10 min.
>"keep waiting I'm real sorry tho dude, something happened like theft and higher ups are mad real sorry again" "Its okay"
>go play MK8 demo while I wait
>its been maybe 45 min
>higher ups come out
>I catch this guy on the way out and ask
>"oh they'll take care of it" and says something about a debit card I didn't catch as his almost 300 pound ass hurries out the door to meet the people who decide whether or not he can pay his bills this month
>go to counter "what the hell does he mean take care of it?"
>wait another min with them
>he comes in says the same thing
>guy puts $5 out of pocket for my game
>apologizes profusely and says "we're not trying to rip you off I'm so sorry for this"
>at this point I just want to go home
>"its fine"
"we'll have the game paid off for you when you come pick it up" "okay"
>I go home angry and sad at the same time I want to cry because I'm mad at myself
Still makes my heart sink when I think of how I must have seemed that day. I'm no better than a stupid child.
