Sucky day with weird questions and strange customers!

[Sandiercy]

I am so glad it is Saturday, we get to close early! Yay!

First person that comes in today looks like your average guy that sleeps on the street, stinks from across the store, and very suspicious looking. Boss wants me to keep an eye on him (loss prevention and all that). Guy eventually purchases $175 worth of product The area we work in is known for its less than likable residents and shoplifting happens often.

SC: clueless guy
Me: your awesome game store manager

SC: What kind of stuff do you sell here?
Me: Board Games and Card Games
*Later*
Same SC: *Pointing at various games on the shelf* So do these have CDs in them?
Me: No, they are just board games.


I have had at least 5-6 people today ask me if we sold computers, cell phones, did cell phone repairs, etc.

As I said before, thank goodness we close early.

BOARD games? What is this "board" of which you speak?

A printed circuit, of course.

Bite me. Give me a good board game over a bunch of pixels any day.

Bite me.

Where? And how hard?

I used to make board games when I was a child. Mother was convinced this was Satanic, even though there was never any magic in them (we were fundamentalist Christians.) She made my destroy them.

Nowadays, I've only made one board game. God, it was about eight or nine years ago. I sometimes wonder if I should make another (no, it wouldn't be about sucky customers.) But I lack the materials and the inspiration.

I once made a Gummi Bears game. That was fun.

My best, and most elaborate, was a Super Mario 3 game. It had everything I could put in from the game. Even the N Spade and the card game.

That's awesome! Please tell me you have pics of these.

I remember being a little kid and getting a giant coloring book. To me, the gift was not the coloring pages themselves, but the blank inside covers. I made a car racing game on one, and used the other to make cards (like Community Chest and Chance), for the car game.

Kristev, if you have the idea, you can get it made online. Check out https://www.thegamecrafter.com/

A friend of mine had a card game published that way.

I think I remember board games . . . there might still be a few packed away somewhere in the house.

I'd have a game party but I really don't have enough people to invite over.

Why, they're games one plays when one is board.

...I wish I was making that particular atrocity up; I've seen it in the wild before Written by someone who thought it was 100% correct.
