This is so gay, a rainbow blew apart my anus, and I liked it
- I want to taste the rainbow
  
  It would have cost you nothing to not write this
  
  Slurp slurp!
- I watched

Was Anon just being a pedantic dick, or are they profoundly ignorant? Why would they fail to make the obvious assumption that the parent meant Call of Duty? Isn’t helping clueless parents a regular part of the job?
Or am I the ignorant one, and missing the joke entirely?
- Anon was being a PoS. Ofc they knew they meant Call of Duty.
  
  If karma is real that guy should have is brake lines checked regularly.
- You are the ignorant one, unfortunately. It is a well known fact that GameStop cashiers just want to watch the world burn, and that is exactly what they did to that family Christmas.
  They did the little man dirty for the lulz.
  
  Can confirm.
  I haven't purchased a game at a GameStop in decades. But I'll never forget the time a cashier was getting yelled at by a shitty teenager because the teenager felt conned having preordered a JRPG thinking it was a First-Person Shooter, and the teenager was throwing empty game boxes around calling the cashier all sorts of 2000's era offensive names.
  I don't understand the full story but I think about it often.
  
  It’s funny. The most innocent pranks ever on YouTube happen at GameStop.
  LEAVE OR I CALL LAW!
  Every time!
  
  Oh well. It happens. It’s just hard for me to imagine ruining a kid’s Christmas on purpose.
- Anon was obviously trolling the parent.
- Despite the other comments, this has real /thathappened vibes. First of all the OP would have to be a dick, second, why buy 3 copies or have any sort of “buy the same game x3” deal. Nobody does that.
  
  You think someone would do that? Go on the internet and tell lies?
  
  Yeah, as an ex GS employee - GS does not have the profit margins on new games to do a sale like that on new games. Only used games get put on buy two get one sales, and those can be returned.
  So this is definitely a /thathappened moment.
  Also like... How old is this post? Even when I worked at GS years ago parents knew what CoD was. The first CoD came out in 2003 it is not the kind of obscure that parents would ask about.
  
  Buy cod for all 3 of your kids so they can play it together, if they're talking about it. Or cousins.
  
  The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
- Store had a big stock of that game that nobody wanted to buy, and Anon managed to get rid of three copies from that stock.
  
  CEO mindset right there. Anon is going places
- Or am I the ignorant one, and missing the joke entirely?
  Oof.
- I several times explained age ratings to grannies looking to get GTA for their grandsons, and I haven't ever worked at a real game store.
- OOP is just making a stupid joke. Like that COD of Duty meme game from back in the day.

anon is cruel af
- Kid is dumb for assuming mother knew what cod was
  
  Mom is dumb for not clarifying?
- Kid doesn't deserve cod

The "three copies" part makes this seem really fake. Why would a parent buy more than one copy of a game?
- And why would they open all three? Or even one?
  
  If it were a single one I could see a kid playing it to see if it's any good, but three? Makes no sense. I know most of these green texts are fake, but anon could have done better.
- Gotta get two copies of Bonestorm https://youtu.be/FgXxtgu76Ag
- You thought it's a fishing game. It was Skyrim.
- One for my kid, one for each family of cousins (my brother's and sister's respective kids) "so they can play their nintendo machines on the internets like they always do?"
  
  I guess if one of the siblings is better off than the others, I could see them buying the same game for other family members, but it seems kind of unusual.

Did a quick search, that game is available to pretty much every platform. PS2, PS3, PS4, Wii, WiiU, NDS, 360. The buy 2 get 1 free makes more sense now

Why would they open them?
- Thought it was a prank and one was going to actually have CoD in it.
- !kidsarefuckingstupid@lemmy.world
  
  Sadly it's dead community. Last post was over a year ago

I know every greentext ever written by anybody for any purpose is fake but:
A person being seen by you as your lesser is not unworthy of your kindness. Be more kind to the people of the land, anons.
