This is one of the funnier thing that has happened to me at Funcoland. In fact, it almost earned me a trip behind the counter. It all started when I walked into Funcoland. You guessed that, didn't you? Anyways, it was pretty late at night, and I just wanted to make a quick stop in to pick up Adventures of Bayou Billy. Here's basically how it went:
Me: Hey, can I get some games for NES?
Employee: Uh...NES?
Me: Yeah, you know, the old grey box that nobody likes anymore?
Employee: Um...I don't think we carry NES games anymore.
(At this point I almost burst out with laughter, the NES games were right behind him.)
Me: Can I go behind the counter and look and see if you have them?
Employee: (hesitation) No, I'm pretty sure we don't have NES games, let me go ask my boss.
(Employee goes over to the selling counter, where his boss is. The boss comes back to help me.)
Boss: Sorry about him, he's not our best employee. What did you want, NES games?
Me: Yeah, do you have Adventures of Bayou Billy and Dragon Warrior?
Boss: Probably, let me check.
(As boss turns around to look at NES games, the employee comes over.)
Employee: I don't know how to figure out how much we pay for games.
Boss: (Handing employee Adventures of Bayou Billy and Dragon Warrior) Finish up with this kid.
(The employee rings up the games and I pay him.)
Me: By the way, can I have sleeves for these games?
Employee: Nobody buys NES games anymore, so we don't have sleeves for them.
Me: Oh, so that's why some of the NES games are in sleeves, I suppose.
Employee: (Throws a few sleeves over toward me) Listen kid, just take these and go!
Me: Alright, all I wanted was a few sleeves.
I think this employee was fired on the spot or maybe a few days later. Either way, I never saw him again. YaY!
