So work told me they would reimburse me for a monthly subscription to World of Warcraft finally... about fucking time.
So I ran out to Wallyworld to buy myself a copy this evening, and found 3 copies nicely lined up on the shelf. Grab box #1 ... curiously light ... and unsealed. Examine contents to reveal no CD's, and no CD-Key.
Chuckle. Grab box #2 ... curiously light ... same thing.
Grab box #3 ... no suprise... same thing.
I politely pointed it out to the less-then-caring staffer standing there and went on my way 200 feet across the street to Meijer.
I was pleased to find FOUR copies on the shelf waiting for me.
Grab box #1 ... empty. Curiously look at other games, perhaps they have a "nothing in display boxes" policy like a video rental store. Nope, all the other games are in their little boxy homes.
box #2 ... empty ...
box #3 ... no CDs, no CD-Key
box #4 ... no CDs, no CD-Key
Now... I'm all for getting something for nothing when the opportunity presents itself. But somebody is really going out of their fucking way to load up on World of Warcraft accounts. I mean seriously... SEVEN ACCOUNTS. And they didn't even have the decency to move the boxes somewhere else in the store, like women's underwear or something, where honest paying patrons wouldn't have to stand there and look like the criminal while sifting through already opened boxes.
I politely alerted the electronics people at Meijer and went and stole some candy from the "do not sample" bins. Lame ass security. At least I know nobody is going to come looking for the sour apple gummy worms I ate. seriously people, wtf.
