I am putting this in sightings as it has been relayed to me by my stepson who works wallyworld. He dropped by to tell us this as he was sure I had heard it on the police scanner earlier. (which I didnt but oh well)
He works as a CSR. A guy tried to return a 42" flatscreen that had taken a Wii controller to the screen. The guy had come out and said when asked what happened that he lost his grip on the controller and it went into the screen. Apparently giving a real nice spiderweb to it. Not sure what game he was playing but maybe he should have invested in some sweat guards or something.
Anyhow My son says no. His manager backs him up and the guy has to lug the tv back out to his vehicle. WHich he does.
Fast forward a few and my son is standing merrily at the urinal talking to a man about a dog when he suddenly gets a kidney punch. It is wii dude come back. My son is 6' and weighs about 230 mostly muscle from wrestling and farm work. So he spins grabs the guy and holds him in a lock of somekind (he didnt specify) while the other guy in the restroom goes and gets a manager. Fortunately there was also an off duty officer in the store and the LP guy saw the customer heading for the loo after he saw the son go in.
So the Wii dude was not going to be gong anywhere.
Long story short. Wii dude had apparently been wandering the store being followed by LP when he saw son go into the loo. A brief tussle later. Wii dude is being held by LP, aforementioned off duty officer and Son is standing by waiting to see what's going to happen. Wii dude becomes very apologetic so son declines to press charges (taught him to be forgiving and as he probably did more harm to the guy than what he got as he said the guy hit like a girl,, maybe he should have played the boxking games more) if guy gets banned from the store. Manager says so. Cops show up check wii dude out. Find out why he was becoming very apologetic he has an outstanding warrent for something. SO Wii dude goes away in back of cop car. Cops ask son again if he wants to press charges and says no but will give a compleate statement to cover his butt for later. Does so end of story.
What is it with people?
