False Advertising
Wherein The Gord dodges a circle.
So the sign in the window says “Video Games: Buy , Rent and Trade!”
Customer walks up to the counter with new copies of a couple new release games and says “I’d like to get these games please.”
“Alright then, that will be $134.52 with all taxes.”
“I’d like to trade in these games” and buddy then tosses down Battle Arena Toshinden and NHL Faceoff ’96, both without cases. “
“Well, ok. That will be $5 off the total then.”
“Your sign says trade! I want to trade these games for those games!”
“That’s nice. But that’s not the way things work.”
“You’re false advertising! Your sign says trade! I can trade in any game I want for another game! I DEMAND you do that!”
“Uh… That means you can trade in games for credit and use that credit for whatever you want.”
“Just give me the fucking games!”
“Only $130 more and they are yours”
“FUCK YOU!” and he storms out.
