It was Gamestation. That particular branch has been going downhill a while anyway so to be expected. At least he gave in soon enough which was useful Didn't really want an argument.

Wtf?

As an aside, he actually looked a fair bit younger than me too, I was surprised when he said he was the manager!

If he tried that with me I'd have asked him if he'd heard of the Sales of Goods Act, and if he wanted me to ring Trading Standards there and then. I'm sure he'd have soon changed his tune

I've sent you a message on Xbox Live Davey.

I have to pack my PC up, Psymonkee will be here in 30 minutes and if he sees I'm not packed away he might murder me.

I do too but I'm so crap at dealing with stuff like that these days I need to regain what limited assertiveness I had before. My Mum was proud of how I confidently spoke to the guy, didn't sound like it on my side

Well done Jen for standing your ground I said before you left, you better not be leaving that store with anything other than a new console
