Been a long ass time,well almost a decade since I had to be in the workforce. I was a manager at GS when PS3/Wii launched. First few months were fun. Kinda fell apart when we had to sell Microsoft Zune. Anyway. In my state you can carry a firearm out in the open. I had a guy come in with a 44 mag just hanging outside his belt. Thought I was going to get robbed. No he just funny enough wanted GTA SA (was hard to find then because HC) The launch of Gears of War was no doubt a big one. Well the UPS guy left our delivery by mistake on the loading dock in another state. A black guy came in for his pre order and I tried to explain. He leaped over the counter grabbed me and threatened me.I was scared but kept my cool and he did chill out.
I did a midnight release on some WOW expansion in January 2007. We were only set up for WOW pre orders. Nothing more. Some shithead cut in line wormed his way to the front and tried to sell a new Guitar Hero 2 on PS2 for cash. We rightfully told him to GTFO. While not a customer I got off work one day in the afternoon and started to walk home. A homeless dude ran up to me and asked me to help him as another dude ran up with a knife pinned that guy to the wall and looked at me and gestured to me he was going to kill me. I ran in the store a few feet away had them call the police. Other dude was not killed as Security broke it up. I later was a witness in courts and I played Ace Attorney in the DA office.
Side note. The story about the Nintendo DS surviving Mt Everest. That is a story I been telling for 11 years. Those guys told me that story as they were in my store and told us.
