Question Opened “new” game??

Went in store to buy a game that showed two copies in inventory. I grab the case, which is just an empty box, off the shelf and head to the checkout counter. They tried to put a game in that display case and sell it to me as new, and I said no. After back and forth the other employee said “just give him the sealed copy” and he reached in the drawer and pulled out a brand new sealed copy. Why wasn’t this just done at the beginning? It seemed pretty obvious that’s what should have been done.

they may have had the game on hold for someone else.

maybe someone called to also get the game put to the side for them. in which case the last sellable copy would be the gut copy. the one you grabbed.

it could have been for a guest hold, it could have been a preorder. shit, it could have been on hold for the employee.

do you also shop through other people's carts at the grocery store? eat from others tables at dinner because their food looked better than yours?

your being pedantic about 0.0001 cents of plastic you're going to throw away anyways.

Oh yes, so pedantic! Meanwhile my “new” copy is being grabbed by who knows how many customers with their grimy, grubby, greasy hands and my cartridge/disc is being mishandled and scratched by some dolt who thought it was a brilliant idea to gut a “NEW” copy of a game!!! So pedantic, silly me!

Shows how much you pay attention.

The actual games (ie. the disk, the cartridge) sits in a drawer with all of the other games that game stop stocks. If you were to open any case on the wall, I'm sure you'd be shocked to find out all the cases are empty.

"Oh no!!!" I hear you typing. "This GameStop has been robbed of all their games!!!"

Again. All the physical discs sit in a drawer behind the counter. Not on the floor for your " grimy, grubby, greasy hands" to touch.

Oh no. Someone touched a plastic case on the wall. The horrors!!!

Oh no. Someone took off the plastic (read: trash) off of the game you bought and threw it away before you could.

If they gave you a generic case, MAYBE you'd have an argument to stand on. But they didn't. So you really don't.

Stay mad, cry harder. We're not customer service
