There is a computer store near my house, and I am very friendly with the staff there, they helped me a lot when my Xbox360 got the dreaded red ring of death. I have my own Wii, but my parents are desperate for one, so I told them that if I found one, I would buy them it and they could just give me the money back.
So, I go into the store.
Me: I know you've probably been asked this about a million times today, but do you have any Wii's?
Employee: One minute...
She walked away and started chatting with the manager. They were talking in hushed voices and looking at me. They both walked over, and started whispering to me.
E: We have one...
Me: Really??
Manager: Shhhh...it's on hold for someone. But the lady has been really pissing us off. We call her every day asking when she is coming in to get it, she always says "I'll be in later today" and never shows. We've had it out the back for over a month now...
Me: Ok...
Manager: So, I'm going to call her, no doubt she will say she'll be in later today, but if she is not here in ONE HOUR, the Wii is yours.
Me:
Manager: One hour...good luck!
I basically walked around in circles for an hour and returned to the store. The same girl was there.
Me: Did she come get it?
E: Nope, and we warned her we could only hold it for another hour. She just said "I'll be there later" again!
Me: So...can I have the Wii?
E: Yes!
It was amazing, several other shoppers gasped when she brought it out. It was like the Holy Grale, you could imagine gold light shining from it.
It's a shame though. I would have loved to have seen that ladies face when she eventually turned up for her Wii. I'm going to have to go back and find out if she did.
