This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I watched
Was Anon just being a pedantic dick, or are they profoundly ignorant? Why would they fail to make the obvious assumption that the parent meant Call of Duty? Isn’t helping clueless parents a regular part of the job?
Or am I the ignorant one, and missing the joke entirely?
Anon was being a PoS. Ofc they knew they meant Call of Duty.
If karma is real that guy should have is brake lines checked regularly.

You are the ignorant one, unfortunately. It is a well known fact that GameStop cashiers just want to watch the world burn, and that is exactly what they did to that family Christmas.
They did the little man dirty for the lulz.
Can confirm.
I haven't purchased a game at a GameStop in decades. But I'll never forget the time a cashier was getting yelled at by a shitty teenager because the teenager felt conned having preordered a JRPG thinking it was a First-Person Shooter, and the teenager was throwing empty game boxes around calling the cashier all sorts of 2000's era offensive names.
I don't understand the full story but I think about it often.

Anon was obviously trolling the parent.
Despite the other comments, this has real /thathappened vibes. First of all the OP would have to be a dick, second, why buy 3 copies or have any sort of “buy the same game x3” deal. Nobody does that.
You think someone would do that? Go on the internet and tell lies?
“Everything written on the internet is true.”
-Abraham Lincoln, 1801.
The internet was invented by George Washington, the boy who could not tell a lie. That's why it was designed to be lie-proof.
Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809, making it literally impossible for him, even telepathically, to say that quote.
Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
Yeah, as an ex GS employee - GS does not have the profit margins on new games to do a sale like that on new games. Only used games get put on buy two get one sales, and those can be returned.
So this is definitely a /thathappened moment.
Also like... How old is this post? Even when I worked at GS years ago parents knew what CoD was. The first CoD came out in 2003 it is not the kind of obscure that parents would ask about.
Buy cod for all 3 of your kids so they can play it together, if they're talking about it. Or cousins.

Store had a big stock of that game that nobody wanted to buy, and Anon managed to get rid of three copies from that stock.
CEO mindset right there. Anon is going places
Or am I the ignorant one, and missing the joke entirely?
Oof.
I several times explained age ratings to grannies looking to get GTA for their grandsons, and I haven't ever worked at a real game store.

anon is cruel af
Kid doesn't deserve cod
The "three copies" part makes this seem really fake. Why would a parent buy more than one copy of a game?
And why would they open all three? Or even one?
If it were a single one I could see a kid playing it to see if it's any good, but three? Makes no sense. I know most of these green texts are fake, but anon could have done better.
It's a flimsy argument but the only thing I can think is the kid thought it was a joke and opened all three to make sure they were indeed all the same
A couple of my kin pulled this exact joke on me, funny enough two of the joke games ended up being pretty good.
You thought it's a fishing game. It was Skyrim.
One for my kid, one for each family of cousins (my brother's and sister's respective kids) "so they can play their nintendo machines on the internets like they always do?"
I guess if one of the siblings is better off than the others, I could see them buying the same game for other family members, but it seems kind of unusual.
In December in America we do this thing called Christmas, where you get gifts for and gather with family and friends and exchange them. Kids are often included in this despite not having money of their own, and usually receive gifts from the family like video games or other doodads.
Video games themselves are barely sold on disks anymore, while this could have all transpired about two months ago, it's more likely to be an old post immortalized into a screencap, this could be from 2010 for all we know, which is the year that game was released for the xbox 360, coincidentally.

Did a quick search, that game is available to pretty much every platform. PS2, PS3, PS4, Wii, WiiU, NDS, 360. The buy 2 get 1 free makes more sense now
Why would they open them?
Thought it was a prank and one was going to actually have CoD in it.
I know every greentext ever written by anybody for any purpose is fake but:
A person being seen by you as your lesser is not unworthy of your kindness. Be more kind to the people of the land, anons.
I really enjoy fishing games =/
were you the kid in the story?
Yes. We had to get rid of the game because he was playing too much.
Anon ahould have kept his copied of sega bass fishing. The most intense game ever produced

Well actually cod is meant to be played by adults only
So, you know, it's a good deed in a way. A very deceiving and lucrative one, but still good 🧐
