Stealing From Toys R Us

Toys R Us is closing. I'm not happy about it because I have a lot of good childhood memories in that place. I like hanging out at Toys R Us because all my favorite things were there, you could buy candy, video games,

toys

. crack. Calm down the PC police. I'm kidding. I never really bought candy from Toys R Us. It was always difficult to feel them through the packaging. One day, one day, I walk into Toys R Us. Out of the corner of my eye I see this video game system and a sign that says Dreamcast coming soon.

They have Sonic Adventures. I start playing and I'm like mhh and then I get to the part where Sonic applies this boost and you see this whale crash on the boardwalk and fly away and everything is crazy on the screen. I've never seen anything like this in a video game in my life. I shuddered. I slowly put down the controller and walked towards the register very slowly. And I thought, brah, how much to pre-order the Dreamcast. "Ten dollars to reserve system five." dollars to reserve a game," and I was like, Here you go! The guy takes my money, prints out a receipt, and gives it to me.

I'm going home. Dreamcast launch day comes, I only have $300 to my name, I take $280 of that and head to Toys R Us. I walk in, I go straight to the register, and there's this old lady, and I mean, this lady was OLD. Bless her little heart, but she had no business handling money. .They probably just felt bad for her and just left her thinking at the register. What's the worst that can happen? Huh, and I wasn't even thinking about anything you know like a felony. Yeah, I'm here to pick up the Dreamcast and she takes the receipt and says Haaeeehhhhhh ahhhhhh me?

Uhhhhhh me ahhhhh haaaeeh Uhhhhhhhhh? "What are you coming to pick up young man?" Dreamcast summary out there I've only paid $10 for the system and $5 for the game, so I'll give you I owe $189 more for the system and $39 more for the game This lady is LOST *Theme from The X-Files (Illuminati song)* I'm starting to think if I should explain this to her or just do nothing. I choose the second option. I decide I'm going to let this happen. "Susan, could you come take a look at this? Susan, come here." Susan walks over and I see Susan. I think, damn, she was so close.

There's a split second where they're both looking at the receipt like *Theme from The X-Files (Illuminati song)* But then Susan says "Oh! This is that new dream." Uh, yeah, you're supposed to seal it and then send it to the video game counter." And I'm here like yeah, listen to Susan and that's exactly what she does, let me recreate it. That's what she does So I slowly approach and I grab the receipt I know I'm supposed to pay full price here before I stamp it and then I walk up to the video game cash register, but I just say, so I walk up to the video game cashier like And I don't say anything, I just tell her I slide my receipt "Hmm...Dreamcast is fine, I'll be right back" I'm sitting there with my hands crossed like the perfect gentleman that I am my cousin.

Bolivias is on my side as to what's going on. *Theme from The X-Files ( Illuminati song)* So now I'm waiting. I'm thinking am I about to spend 10 bucks on a video game system? Because if that guy comes back around that corner and as soon as I started thinking, he comes back around that corner, here you go. I take the box out of his hands very slowly and think: I... I also pre-ordered a set and look at the receipt. Oh, Sonic, okay, my B, brother, I'll be right back, so he runs to the corner, comes back, puts Sonic on top of the Dreamcast and says: Do you want a bag and I said I came out and it was a rap.

I'm telling you that nowadays I try to be an honest and genuine person, but when I'm younger, I'm trying to tell you that he was a bully and you want to know something funnier. I had all that money left over that I didn't spend on the system. I went back to Toys R Us the next day and bought a bunch of Thug Life games, so that was really dumb of me. I could have gone to a dozen different stores. I'm trying to imagine how many people got free systems? They probably closed because the old ladies at the register gave away all the merch jokes, other than Toys R Us, it really makes me sad to see them go.

I bought my first crack pipe there.
