The absolute craziest thing happened to me just right now! I have to share it!
So I entered GameStop just to look around and also ask when my Pro Membership expires and I just start talking to one of the employees for no reason. They know me there (I kinda hope they do haha!) so it's pretty normal. When I get to the register to ask the same guy helps me out. Out of nowhere I decide to ask him how much it costs to preorder Fire Emblem Echoes Limited Edition (I wasn't going to preorder it cause I have absolutely no money right now but I was curious) and he immediately starts telling me over and over to preorder it here or anywhere cause it was a Limited Edition from Nintendo and his associate (the manager) agreed saying that it would most likely be sold out by tomorrow night everywhere including places like Amazon. I told him that I would have done it but no money and he looks devastated at that.
"Dude, you don't want to miss out on this!" He says.
After a minute of thinking he goes for his wallet and pulls out five bucks and says "I'll pay for the deposit. I'll spot you. You don't want to miss this or you'll regret it like many did with the last Special Edition that Nintendo made with the previous Fire Emblem." Obviously I start panicking and keep telling him to not do that since obviously it wasn't necessary at all for him to spend his own money on me! He doesn't relent and puts it in, prints out the receipt, gives me the receipt and says "Perfect! Thanks for depositing 5 dollars for this game! You can see when it releases and how much you owe left on the receipt. Anything else I can help you with?"
I'm just looking at him stunned that he would go out of his way for me like that. I thanked him over and over but had to leave since the store was closing.
Sorry for wasting y'alls time with this long story but it was so cool for me! I love my GameStop. Sure he may have had an agenda to put more preorders so that he can impress his superiors if some of you think that but he went way out of his way to make sure I wouldn't lose the preorder. Now I'm feeling bad about trying to preorder it on Amazon.
EDIT: Did I really just waste the first post in a new page for my boring story??? I'm sorry guys!
