We had our last holiday shipment of Wii’s on Friday and it was nuts. We handed out tickets and sold through nearly everything in the first hour. However, we still had three left in the store because some customers needed to run out and pay the parking meter. As they had tickets, we promised to hold the machines until noon.

Unfortunately, in a lapse of judgement, I let slip that we had three Wii’s waiting to be claimed and when word got out, I had not one, but two customers follow me for the rest of the morning hoping that they would get first dibs on those unclaimed Wii’s. They wouldn’t let me out of their sight for anything.

Boy, it was awkward using the washroom that day.
