Matt D. shares a horrifying experience he encountered with a cashier and manager that think they run Best Buy. In attempt to purchase Assassin’s Creed, he was rejected by the cashier and manager because they believed he was purchasing it for his underage brother. Read along as Matt tells us about this extremely odd situaton:
I stepped up to the [cashier] and she immediately gave me a look of disgrace as if I did something wrong. I replied with a “hi” to make the tension less awkward. She immediately asked me for my ID. I’ve never been carded for a video game before so I politely handed it to her while asking my brother for my gift cards I gave him while I was busy shuffling through my car just 20 minutes earlier.
I quickly responded back that I am 21 year old and that the video game and peripheral are for me. She shook her head with a menacing grim and said that she saw me take gift cards from my brother and that what I am doing is illegal.
Hopefully the next time I buy my M-rated games from Best Buy, there isn’t a 12 year old kid behind me.
While this sort of behavior is hardly widespread, incidents like it can build up to significant negative hype. The “replace a PS3 with a pile of bricks” incidents are the same way. Would you continue to shop at a store if you encountered a situation like this?
