      Of couse not, if I was the parent I’d be furious for having my child Christmast ruined by this asshole.

          Yes because it’s totally necessary to spell it “Call of Duty” to a Gamestop employee.

          You know, C.O.D., that little unknown indie game that totally nobody ever heard of.

          This is clearly fake but if it wasn’t that would legitimatelly warrant a warning to the employee for misconduct.

            Buddy, I can guarantee you there are GameStop employees who don’t know that “cod” means “Call of Duty”. Sucks for the parent, but a good lesson for the kid.

      My mother probably would have done something similar if I had asked for “cod” for christmas. You really do have to be specific with people that wouldn’t know better.

      Gamestop employee could have done better, but honestly with how shit that company is, I would have done the same.

        That potentially just gives GameStop more money and unnecessarily adds tension to a holiday where a parent is just trying to make their kid happy. Fuck GameStop and all, but this parent was put in a bad position on purpose by someone who knew better and who ostensibly was being paid to help people like them out (post is fake obviously though). It’s not their fault GameStop sucks, and it’s not the kids fault either.
