Today, I went out and bought a copy of Black Ops 2. I got home and opened the case, only to see the game disk was missing. When I went back to the store to complain, the guy at the desk accused me of trying to pull an old scam on him. FML

Today, I was caught stealing a video game. I realized after my parents were called that the case was actually empty. FML

Insult of the week

By Anonymous - 01/04/2016 20:21 - United States - Slidell

Today, a customer got angry with me, because store policy says we can't accept returns of unsealed video games unless there's actual damage to the disc. The guy got enraged and started yelling about how I'm a "useless fuckwhistle". I almost got written up for laughing so hard at the insult. FML

Today, at work, a woman demanded a refund for a video game. She had no receipt, so due to company policy, I couldn't refund her. She reacted by loudly accusing me of being racist, then yelled that she'd see me in court as she finally stormed out. FML

You tried

Today, in an effort to try and be closer to my girlfriend's son, I bought him an expensive Xbox game I know he desperately wanted so we could play it together. He was excited, until he realised that I that paid for it. He snapped the disc and threw the pieces in the bin. At least I tried. FML

Today, after getting home from shopping, I noticed a security tag was still on one of the shirts I bought. I decided to take it back and ask them to remove the tag. They then accused me of trying to steal (even after I showed them the receipt) and kicked me out of the store. FML

Today, I had gone to the store and bought a new wallet. 5 minutes later a security guard asks for my receipt. Turns out I had dropped my receipt. Some guy had picked it up and pretended I had stole his wallet. The guard confiscated my wallet because the guy had "his" receipt to prove it. FML

Sorry Pat

Today, I went shopping with my two sons and my wife. We got separated after a while, and I spotted my son in the video game section of the store. I snuck up behind him and playfully slapped him on the back of the head. The kid turned around and it wasn't my son. His mom was none to happy. FML

Today, I was holding on to a shirt that I planned on buying, when an elderly man bumped into me. The shirt fell out of my hand, and slid just out the door. I went to the counter to explain what happened. Everyone accused me of trying to steal it anyway. FML

Today, a customer spent ages bitching me out, because he refused to believe he needed to upgrade his computer, which still runs Windows 98, in order to install a modern game for his grandson. He ended up calling my manager and trying to get me fired for scamming him. FML

The opposite happened to me last year. I got an extra game in my bag and had to return it. It was kind of awkward...

Ouch that sucks, I had the same thing happen to me with GTA 4, the case was wrapped, but no disc when I opened it. Hopefully someone else there will let you return it

That sucks big time, I'm sorry, OP. Well, it's a lesson learned: check what you buy before leaving next time.

That happened to me too! I had gotten GOW 2 for Christmas and opened it immediately only to find the disk not there..I had to wait a few days just to avoid the hour+ long wait in Walmart's customer service..thankfully everyone there knows and trusts me and gave me a new game!

Receipt?

Wouldn't make any difference I'm afraid. When returning a purchased product, you need the receipt to prove that you've actually purchased the product in that very store, and to prove when you purchased it. That's not the problem here. The problem is that the guy at the desk didn't believe that the disk was missing. He assumed that OP just removed the disk himself, and brought back the empty case and made up a story to get his money back, resulting in a free copy of the game.

That happened to me with a 3DS, the box was sealed but there wasn't a 3DS in it and the charger was one of those 'fancy' ones with a head for GBC, GBA, DS, DSLite/i/iXL and 3DS. It was quite weird, but the mangers in ASDA/Walmart knew me at the time and changed it no prob.
