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

I don't like old video games, but my partner does, and that's why I know that Altered Beast is about an undead that turns into a werewolf. That's love. Putting up with your family's weird obsessions because you love to hear them care about something.

I think parents who won't listen to their kids about their interests, even when it's a financial decision, don't love their kids enough.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

You reached the end
