BB: Hello Best Buy this is xxxxxx how can I help you today?
Me: Hey, calling to find out if you have Star Trek Legacy in for the 360 or the PC?
BB: Yes we do, I think hold on.
(HOLD for 5 minutes, I tap my foot impatiently wondering how I'm going to drive to this Best Buy if they DO have it nearly 45 miles away from here)
BB: Ok we have a boxed set, Star Trek Generations 2 disc set, and some of the TV series is here I believe.
Me: Wha? No, those are movies I said Star Trek Legacy .. a game. A video game. Leg. A. See. For the three six zero or PC.
BB: Yeah I'm sure we have that too.
Me: Dude. Can you like. Look. I'm not driving out there for nothing.
(PUTS ME ON HOLD AGAIN)
BB: No we don't no one here has heard of it.
Me: Great. It's only the hottest game coming out this winter after Gears of War. Everyone's going to be showing up asking about Legacy.
BB: Hold on let me check with Matt he knows this stuff.
(HOLD AGAIN)
BB: Ok they are telling me it will be in next week or tomorrow, keep checking back.
Me: Are you guys doing a Legacy party?
BB: Uh..
Me: Most stores are doing a big parade and dance dance revolution session in their parking lots for this game, I will only buy from you if you're doing some kind of similar ST party. Like with spock ears and stuff.
