00:00GameStop refused to sell me a console because they thought I was a reseller.

00:03I wasn't, so I placed a $12,000 order and never picked it up.

00:06There's this limited edition PlayStation I wanted for my nephew's birthday,

00:08and the closest GameStop that had it in stock was 70 miles away.

00:11It was a Tuesday morning, but I made the drive.

00:13That location used to be my regular store before I moved states.

00:16I found the console, grabbed some games and accessories,

00:18and after about 45 minutes went to check out.

00:20The cashier asked for my ID, normal for expensive purchases.

00:23I handed it over.

00:24Then he asked how many gaming systems I'd bought recently.

00:26I told him this was my first PlayStation purchase in years.

00:28He said that seemed unlikely and went to get a manager.

00:31The store manager came out, looked at my ID, and said,

00:33Unfortunately, we can't sell this to resellers.

00:35Then told me I'd have to provide proof I wasn't planning to flip it online.

00:38I reminded him I'd been shopping there for years,

00:39even offered to show them my nephew's birthday invitation.

00:42He smirked and said, That's what they all say.

00:43That was it. No discussion, no solution.

00:45So I left frustrated.

00:46Two and a half hours round trip through traffic with nothing.

00:48The next day, I went to the GameStop near my house to grab games for my current console.

00:52They were great, friendly, even asked if I needed help finding anything else.

00:55Not saying they shouldn't verify purchases,

00:57but it highlighted how unnecessary that entire interaction at the other store was.

01:01Then I got one of those customer satisfaction surveys.

01:04Normally, I delete them.

01:05This time, I didn't.

01:05I selected the store and explained exactly what happened.

01:07Two days later, the store manager called.

01:09Not to apologize.

01:10Nope, to defend his decision.

01:11He said they'd looked up my purchase history,

01:13and I'd bought multiple high-value items over the years,

01:15which fit their reseller profile.

01:16I told him those were legitimate gifts and personal purchases.

01:19He said that didn't matter.

01:20He then claimed his team was trained to spot resellers,

01:22and that my eagerness to purchase was a red flag.

01:24So I asked, if they were so concerned, why didn't anyone approach me during the 45 minutes I was browsing?

01:28Why let me waste time only to accuse me at checkout?

01:31He told me that if I wanted to complete the purchase,

01:33I'd need to sign an affidavit promising not to resell it.

01:35The attitude was arrogant, not helpful.

01:36No empathy, no sorry for the misunderstanding, just lectures about policy.

01:40At that point, I was already over it, but the phone call irritated me all over again.

01:43So I checked their website policies.

01:45One clearly said they reserve the right to limit quantities,

01:47but nothing about requiring affidavits.

01:49Another mentioned that any online order not picked up within 10 days is automatically canceled.

01:53That's when the idea hit me.

01:54Later that day, while setting up my nephew's backup gift and telling my sister the story,

01:57I decided to have some fun.

01:59I logged on and placed a $12,000 curbside order at the same GameStop.

02:02I filled it with the heaviest, most annoying items I could find.

02:05Only one of each model so they'd have to individually locate everything, not grab from shelves.

02:09I ordered all 89 gaming headsets they had in stock.

02:11I added a bunch of collectibles that require manager approval.

02:14The whole goal was to fill up their back room, waste their time, and mess up their inventory system.

02:18Two hours later, I got the pickup confirmation.

02:19Then reminder emails, day two, day five, day eight, final notice on day 10, but they didn't cancel it.

02:24On day 12, I got a call.

02:25It was the same manager, except this time his voice was artificially cheerful.

02:28He asked when I'd be picking up the order.

02:29He knew exactly who I was.

02:31I said, yeah, I tried to pick it up, but you said I looked like a reseller,

02:33so I just got everything at the other location.

02:35Silence.

02:36Then, are you seriously not coming to get this?

02:37I said, nope.

02:38He hung up.

02:38They were supposed to auto-cancel at the 10-day mark, but clearly he held off,

02:41probably trying to boost monthly numbers.

02:43So I called corporate customer service and had them cancel it immediately.

02:45The rep admitted some stores delay cancellations to help their sales figures.

02:48So when his district manager asks why their store had to cancel $12,000

02:52and scrambled to restock dozens of items during peak gaming season,

02:55he can tell them the truth.

02:56He went on a power trip and lost to a customer who knew the system better than he did.
