    Was Anon just being a pedantic dick, or are they profoundly ignorant? Why would they fail to make the obvious assumption that the parent meant Call of Duty? Isn’t helping clueless parents a regular part of the job?

    Or am I the ignorant one, and missing the joke entirely?

      You are the ignorant one, unfortunately. It is a well known fact that GameStop cashiers just want to watch the world burn, and that is exactly what they did to that family Christmas.

      They did the little man dirty for the lulz.

        Can confirm.

        I haven’t purchased a game at a GameStop in decades. But I’ll never forget the time a cashier was getting yelled at by a shitty teenager because the teenager felt conned having preordered a JRPG thinking it was a First-Person Shooter, and the teenager was throwing empty game boxes around calling the cashier all sorts of 2000’s era offensive names.

        I don’t understand the full story but I think about it often.
