People get a lot dumber around Christmas. My heart goes out to all the toy store/electronics store check out workers. Every year they have to put up with “Id like to buy the new [insert popular electronic/toy here] for my son” “well I’m terribly sorry but we just ran out this morning.” “listen, I PROMISED my son he would get this” “I wish there was something I could do to help you but there is nothing in my power I can possibly do to sell you that item” “well thanks to you, now I have to go make my son cry. How does that make you feel? Knowing that a child no longer trusts his own mother, all because you couldn’t get her a stupid little Christmas present”. And sadly all the worker can do is stand there taking in all the insults and just apologize like it is his problem. Note to parents, DON’T GO SHOPPING CHRISTMAS EVE. I have witnessed this happen many times but my favorite one of all was an old man went to Best Buy. This was at the time when X-box 360 was released about a week ago and the man asked the guy at the counter “excuse me sir but I would like to buy my grandson an Xbox 360 for Christmas this year. It is something he said he would really like to have.” And the guy at the counter laughed and said “haha yea, so does every one else on earth”. Then the old guy got confused and left. But my point is, is if you are planning on buying a “hot” item, do your research first (and don’t promise your kids anything!)
