Try Before You Buy!
Wherein The Gord exchanges nothing for nothing.
“Before I buy this game, I’d like to play it please.”
“I suggest you rent it then.”
“You should let me play it for free.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“So you feel that you would be better informed if I let you play it for free for a couple minutes rather than playing it at home for a few hours?”
“If you don’t let me play it, I won’t buy it.”
“Given that I overheard you telling your friend you only had $10 till Friday and that you heard you can play games here for free if you pretend to be buying a game, I would suggest that I have in fact lost nothing.”
“I could buy the game if I wanted to!”
“Fine. Make you a deal. You buy the game, and I’ll let you play it here for a couple hours. If you don’t like it, I’ll refund your money.”
“err…”
“My point exactly. In the future, don’t lie to me.”
