What are you waiting for?

So after spending my saturday cleaning and reeking of bleach, I gave a call to Gamestop and asked if they were still accepting preorders on Halo 3. A woman answers the phone and... Store lady person: Hi....thanks for calling gamestop can I help you? Me: Yes hi, I was wondering if your store was still accepting preorders for Halo 3. Store lady person: You want what? Me: Preorders? Halo 3? Still accepting them? Store Lady person: yeah...just on standard edition..not on legendary...sorry... Me: That's fine. Oh, and I was wondering how much I could get if I traded in my PS2? Store lady person: is it a big one or a small one? Me: (confused) .... (looks inside pants) Oh, it's big. Store lady person: It's only gonna be $30... Me: Ok thanks! Store lady person: Bye (click) Head up there got a bag full of trade in goodies such as: A PS2, Tomb Raider Anniversary, Call of Duty 3, Rainbow Six Vegas, Dead Or Alive 4, Halo 2, The Darkness. I walk through the door and these two kids see me with the huge bag and they know I mean business. They immediately bolted out of the store as if it were a wild west film and Clint Eastwood stepped into the saloon to kick some ass! The store lady person I spoke to on the phone walks up and asks if I needed help. I said yes I have a ton of stuff to trade in towards Halo 3. She throws up (no not actually throws up, keep reading) her hand and snickers and says just wait a minute ok? She goes to the back room I'm looking around, Elmo from Sesame Street is playing on the tv. I'm thinking gee, she must be a big elmo fan! And out walks this other employee and he's holding a baby and bouncing her up and down and walking all around the store. She comes back and starts yelling at him that theres still some of the baby's stuff behind the counter and to not forget her diapers. She's scanning all my stuff and then she takes her time checking to see if my PS2 works. Now I was 100% confident it works but I still feel awkward and guilty. You ever feel weird when you're about to walk through one of those anti theft scanners near the exit? You know you didn't steal anything, yet you keep saying to yourself " God I hope this thing doesn't go off, Man I hope a DVD didn't jump into my jacket or anything that would be embarrassing!" So she checked it and it worked like a charm. She comes back totals up the stuff. She's still yelling at the other baby holding employee but he's ignoring her and she's just sighing and shaking her head and chewing some gum. she tells me my total and I tell her to put everything towards the game and she puts the rest of the store credit on a gift card. $72 in fact which is quite nice. She asks for my name, my birthday, and my phone number five times. After the 3rd time I started to feel like I was unsure of who I really was. Maybe my name isn't Joe Griffin? Maybe this is not my beautiful house? Maybe this is not my beautiful wife? How did I get here? Many good days goooooooo byyyy water flowing- ok i'll stop typing Talking Heads lyrics.. She puts everything on the computer prints out a receipt, takes my bag and tosses it at an overflowing trashcan full of Burger King and other fast food containers and papers laying all over the floor. She hands me the card and receipt and says , "see ya tuesday". Now usually the people who worked at the gamestop were always very friendly and if I preordered a special edition of a game and they didn't have it they would throw in something free. Like a poster or something. I have no idea who the hell these people were. Maybe they killed the nice people and then ate them? Those two working there just didn't fit in a video game store. I think a more fitting job for both of them would be to work in a gun shop down in some hill billy trailer park town in Arkansas or something. " goddang it Jethro! I told joo to not let the baby spit up on dem dere shell casings!" Yeah, I think that would work out better for both of them. She also reminded me of the Assistant to Mr. Skinner in Hot Fuzz. Paging misterrrrr skinnerrrrrrrrrrrr. So, Halo 3! Tuesday! Who's ready?! :P
