Three Copies of a Fishing Game

>Be me working at gamestop >parent asks for a game called "cod" >tell her there is no game called "cod" but her son probably meant "Rapala pro bass fishing" there are lots of fish in that game and the closest we have >have ton of copies in the back >we have a deal on, if you buy 2 copies you get 1 free >she buys three brand new copies of this game >she comes back after christmas >all three copies have been opened >no refund because you opened them >a kid out there received 3 copies of a fucking fishing game for christmas

A GameStop employee misunderstands a parent asking for Call of Duty (“cod”) and sells her three copies of Rapala Pro Bass Fishing through a buy-two-get-one-free deal. After Christmas, all three games have been opened, so the store cannot issue a refund, leaving a child with three copies of the same fishing game. The joke is the absurd escalation caused by the misunderstanding and the technically correct but disastrous sale.
