The search for the Nintendo DS Lite
So what is so special about the Nintendo DS Lite? I never found an interest in the Nintendo video system, but I noticed a lot of the younger teens to pre-teens are more interested in the DS rather than the PSP. I guess being slightly a year or two over 30, I always found the PSP more interesting and more appealing.
So the date was Saturday and I went to help my brother-in-law's niece look for her Nintendo DS Lite. The search started off at Best Buy, but to our UNsurprise, Best Buy once again proved to us that NOTHING IS EVER IN STOCK.... EVER. I believe out of the 4 times I've been there looking for something either ON SALE or JUST CAME OUT, the answer I've heard from the sales rep. 4 times was that "We're Out Of Stock". Hmmm... go figure! I didn't even know why I wasted my gas to go there again.
So back into the car we headed to CompUSA. Hopefully this place will bring us better luck. 10 minutes later, we arrived at CompUSA, jumped out of the car... into the store... strolled up and down the aisle until we came to the section ... nothing on the shelf??? WTF!! We then asked a sales rep. on the floor - "Do you have any DS Lite?" Unable to answer us, he pointed us to the Customer Care line ... another 5 minutes to wait online ... finally our turn - "Do you have the Nintendo DS Lite?" ... "Nope, sorry." F*CK! Headed out and back into the car... where should we head next. Sam's Club!
Sam's Club, here we come. Another 10 minute drive, we came into the Sam's Club plaza. But wait, there's Wal-Mart before Sam's Club, so we should give it a try there too. Parked the car, and into Wal-Mart - f*ck this place is big. Walking towards the electronics, my brother-in-law's niece seemed excited. We came to the aisle, behind the glass doors, under the Nintendo DS Lite sign ... games, tons of it... but where's the system?!?!?! F*ck!! Where's the employee? .... "Do you have any Nintendo DS Lite?" - ... "No, sorry!" Get the F*CK out!! O, f*ck.
Last hope... Sam's Club. *Crossing fingers*. Jumped back into the car and drove from one parking lot to the adjacent parking lot.. Sam's Club. Ran out, ran in.. straight to the Electronics. WoOooOhOoooO. Finally after much searching... we accomplished our mission and put a smile on a young kid.
...Wait, isn't any one gonna give me some $$ for gas????? Sh*ts not cheap anymore....
