Today I decided to walk into GameStop, I do this every week to try to see if they have any new Pokรฉmon DS games in. I decided to visit a different store than usual, I usually donโ€™t visit it because every time I do, the guy working the counter tells me โ€œwe donโ€™t have any DS gamesโ€ which I know isnโ€™t true because Iโ€™ve bought a game there before.

I am currently working on the DS Pokรฉmon set.

Well this time was worse because I walked in and I said โ€œHey do you guys have any DS Gamesโ€ and he said โ€œI donโ€™t really think soโ€. So I threw a different shot and said โ€œwhat about GameCube or gameboyโ€ and he said โ€œI donโ€™t knowโ€ so I asked if he could check. He said idk about GameCube or gameboy but Iโ€™ll check DS. And of course, he had a whole drawer of DS games. He printed out a copy. I picked out a copy of Heartgold and platinum, excited to get them with my pro points. He said he couldnโ€™t sell them to me because they were on holdโ€ฆ I said okay, and mentioned another game that was Pokรฉmon and he said it was ALSO on hold.

I said, โ€œHow long do you hold games for?โ€ He stared any me and just went โ€œuhhhhhโ€ then he finally said โ€œIโ€™ve been holding them for 2 days but Iโ€™m gonna give them another 3 days.โ€ I said okay, and proceeded to preorder Mario wonder.

Then I went to another store, called my wife and told her what happened. Then she without my knowledge called the same store, talked to the SAME guy. And he told her โ€œwe donโ€™t have a holding policy and canโ€™t hold Games for customersโ€

I donโ€™t wanna be a douche bag and go in there are say โ€œgive me the gamesโ€ what do I do manโ€ฆ.
