More Like Customer Dis-Service...Zang!
After about 4 hours with the demo I finally decided to purchase Forza Motorsport 2 yesterday. Copies have been scarce at all of my local Best Buys, so being the clever sort I went online, purchased my copy, and selected the "pick up in store" option. Ten minutes later I have an email that says "your game is ready for pick up". Haha! Reserved copies for the win.
A friend and I went to Best Buy over lunch. We walked to the game shelves, where the employee already knew what we were asking for, and he directed us to the front where they had mountains of copies waiting by the registers. I then went to customer service for my copy. I am so goddamn stupid sometimes.
Twenty minutes after my friend had his copy and receipt in hand, I was still at the counter standing behind two non-English speakers trying to get a credit card to buy a Sony laptop...or toaster. It could have been a toaster. Finally, finally the dude checked me out and I went to the parking lot to find a cop parked behind me so he could ticket some other customers. I then got to perform the ever-awkward, "uh, could you move officer?"
I would have played my new game last night, but I was too busy falling asleep at 10:30 to give it a spin.
