Anon contributes to the downfall of GameStop, therefore sinking the memestock he really banked on for his retirement.

He sold 3 unreturnable copies, sounds like he did the store a favor lol

Blows my mind how many people remember that shitty clerks cartoon

I still have a copy of Minecraft: XBox One Edition I got for Christmas one year. I have never in my life owned an XBox One and I felt bad for my grandmother who did her best.

If you ask someone for something and use an abbreviation instead of spelling it out, you deserve what you get

[-] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago

Of couse not, if I was the parent I'd be furious for having my child Christmast ruined by this asshole.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Oooor the kid could have told their parents they want "Call of Duty". Not that hard

[-] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago

Yes because it's totally necessary to spell it "Call of Duty" to a Gamestop employee.

You know, C.O.D., that little unknown indie game that totally nobody ever heard of.

This is clearly fake but if it wasn't that would legitimatelly warrant a warning to the employee for misconduct.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Buddy, I can guarantee you there are GameStop employees who don't know that "cod" means "Call of Duty". Sucks for the parent, but a good lesson for the kid.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

I hope you'll never inexplicably turn into a kid for your own sake.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Jokes on you, I used to be a kid

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

My mother probably would have done something similar if I had asked for "cod" for christmas. You really do have to be specific with people that wouldn't know better.

Gamestop employee could have done better, but honestly with how shit that company is, I would have done the same.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

That potentially just gives GameStop more money and unnecessarily adds tension to a holiday where a parent is just trying to make their kid happy. Fuck GameStop and all, but this parent was put in a bad position on purpose by someone who knew better and who ostensibly was being paid to help people like them out (post is fake obviously though). It's not their fault GameStop sucks, and it's not the kids fault either.

Yes, those children learn a valuable lesson for life!

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

That's why you always say " I want Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge" not Bonestorm.

Kids make this mistake once. From now on, every list is going to be annotated with footnotes and shit lol

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

It took me a minute and reading to the end for me to realise cod is call of duty

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago
