I try not to get into the discussion, amidst the Blarring Weird Al Yankovic playing loudly at his front desk, as usual.. they bought a giant old store in the downtown area, and converted the 2nd floor into computer game rooms, a large miniature gaming area with 7 hugeass miniature warfare tables, and an anime club, which gets exclusive first run anime from Japan and wathces it on their large screen...
Anyways, the bottom floor is where the most anime, and DVD collections along with various toys and mecrchandise, Mostly Miniatures like Rackham, Warhammer, LOTR, ect..., are sold..
I managed to eye a Transformer toy sitting just wedged between some other boxes...
It's the MP-02 Ultra Magnus!!! and what is that???? 50.00!!!
Sold!! I grab him fast, look around as I clutch him tightly, but not so as to damage the packaging...
I make a B-Line for the counter.. all the while containing my emotions... the owner...whom I think is the funniest man who ever lived.. in a nerdy kinda cool at the same time thing...anyways, he tries to engage me in the converstion they are having over Republicans, ect.. Last time I was here for an hour, and couldn't get a word in edgewise!!
I don't want to talk to them, not really, just want my Ultra Magnus and to go!!!
So I kinda fake a hugeass stomach ache.. tell the guy to hurry and ring me out so I can make it upstairs to the rest room after I take my merchandise back to my car...
Once outside in my car, I go!!!
I kinda wondered, after I laughed abit about my hasty getaway....
I never went back??
Oh shoot!!
I never went back in side!!!
Oh no, Do they think I crapped my pants???

The staff are bad enough in Big W and Kmart during the day, imagine the kinds of people they would have to hire to work the graveyard shift?
