(at queensborough best buy) “do you guys have any copies of borderlands?” “is that the game everyone’s been calling for? we’re completely sold out… (checks stocks) there’s no stock in all the best buy, but got some in transit” “i heard people getting rainchecks for the game, can i get a raincheck?” “i’m not sure i’ll have to ask another person”

(sales assoc #2) “oooh maybe … but i can only give it to you for the current price” “… but… what if you can price match walmart” “hmm actually that might work … just go line up at customer service and see if they can do it for you”

20 min in line up later

“can i help you with something?” “ya i like to get a rain check on this, [sale assoc #2] said there’s no stock but it’s coming … so you guys might be able to do one for me” “ok… let me check the system”

2 min later
