This. Human life matters more than products. The training video for when I worked at Walgreens (and it's more than likely it says the same everywhere else) is to ALWAYS follow the demands of a robber, because you never know what they're capable of. Who's to say HE didn't have a gun either?AceDiamond said:
Please people, keep your hatred of Gamestop out of this. If it was another company, like, EB Games (they have it up in Canada, for those who don't know) or hell, even a smaller, insignificant game seller, no one would be insulting them at all. They're just doing what they're told to do in a situation like that. Would you rather die than give up money, a game, or anything else? Think before you post, morons XP
And you know that some news company (Fox, I'm lookin' at you.) is going to cover it and blame the game which is already under-fire from those guys because of the airport scene. <_<;
1. Lie to the 15yos working at game stop.
2. Acquire a complete library of XBox games.
3. Run like hell.
Well... now I know what I'm doing with my weekend. >

oh god that would be so epic. i wonder what kind of xp he'd earn for that sort of ballsy maneuver!ben---neb said:
Honestly that's genius. Even if caught, he can't be tried for armed robbery. At the most he can be tried for theft or grand larceny since the amount is over $500. If caught he faces probably at most a year in jail. This opens up a whole new area of possibilities.
Ca-Ho-Neys - It's spanish, originates from Tex/Mex region. It's Mexican slang for "testicles", and it means you got balls the size of boulders.Abedeus said:

What the hell is up with people blaming the clerk for complying to the thief? Have none of you worked in the service sector before?
He did what he was supposed to do. What would happen if the clerk said, "I don't believe you"? Maybe he would get beaten up. Sure, maybe the thief just would have fled, but there's no way of knowing.
Some of your reactions are completely unreasonable and unfair.

Alright! I want full control of the Escapist or my guy outside your offices will shoot you all!
...Come on!
...I'm not bluffing!
...He's right there, I promise!
... Please...?
PS: Judging by this event, it's a good thing the clerk didn't try to immobilize him by kicking him in the balls... He would have broken his foot in 3 different places on contact.

Cajón is a drum box.
Cojones - co - ho - ness is "testicles", "balls". Please, don't speak if you don't know a squat about Spanish. Same applies to everyone who said "cajon" or "cajones" in this thread. Unless you meant to say "How much drums does he have!!"
edit: Wait, I don't get it. You said "cajones", but in your quote it's correctly "cojones"? What gives?
Wait a second... you expect that somebody on minimum wage to risk their lives to protect the few measly dollars that the company will loose in claiming insurance, in the unlikely event that police do not manage to find the theif? The same company that has about the same respect for them as most people do for dog shit?Greg Tito said:Man Steals 100 Copies of Modern Warfare 2
Using only words as weapons, a Pennsylvania man managed to rip off nearly $7000 worth of merchandise from a GameStop.
On Tuesday, a man walked into a Meadville, PA GameStop and told the clerks that he had a friend outside who would shoot them if they called the police. The clerks apparently believed him. The thief proceeded to take 100 copies of Modern Warfare 2, as well as a few items from behind the counter, and walk out of the store. The total value of the merchandise pilfered was $6900. Police have yet to apprehend the wily crook, and would welcome any leads.
Several things pop to mind regarding this story. First: Wow. Second: What the? And finally: Really?
That feat takes some cajones, thief guy. What, did you roll a natural 20 on your Bluff check? Impressive.
Wait, 100 copies? How did you walk out of the store carrying that many boxes of MW2? Did you have the foresight to bring a fricking dolly?
The GameStop employees probably did the smart thing by erring on the side of caution, but come on. You're really just going to let a guy rob you because he says his friend outside has a gun? Really?
Really?
