More shopping ANGST!.. but, it's not related to Wal*mart this time..
My fiancee and I were at a local game trading shop a few days ago, and we both had questions about games we wanted to possibly purchase. The big guy behind the counter (one of those big fat people that breathes heavily, then acts like it's an impostion for you to ask for help *no offense to any fat people who may read this*) was the one who helped us, as the other guy sat there playing some football game on what appeared to be a Sega Saturn. The big guy "helped" my fiancee first by letting her use the Super NES to play a couple of basketball games that she wanted to get for her sisters, and he kept insisting that she get them both as they are only 95 cents each, but she didn't want to just get both of them, she wanted to get the one that she wanted.
Anyway, she found the one that she wanted, and I found a game that I wanted, but I had a question about the two copies of Metroid for the NES. Have you ever seen a copy of Metroid with a yellow label, and Samus is in a pose similar to that on the original Gameboy game Metroid 2? I asked the big guy what the differences between copies might be, and he picked them up, read the back of the cartridges (they were in the case), and then put them down on the glass counter rather harshly and told me that there was no difference, other than art on the game. I told him thank you, and he just kind of threw them back into their spots in the case, and almost slammed it shut.
Then, harshly put Kirby 64 (my game) and the basketball game (Nicky's game) on the counter, and got out the clipboard that they use to write an order out with. I get out my debit card and he rudely tells me that I can't use it. Nicky asks about checks, since my check book was in the car, and the skinny guy playing the football game (who was extremely nicer than the fat guy) said sorry, it's the same machine.
We left without saying another word to either of them.
