Early today I bought the Switch 2 Pro controller from an electronics shop. I’m carrying it around in my bag, going on about my day. I’m to meet somebody for dinner later so I’m killing time in a different smaller electronics store closer to the restaurant.
No kidding there’s this mother talking to the staff about wanting to buy the controller. The shop is out of stock and the staff is trying to sell her on some third party junk. She seems confused and calls her son to see what she should do. I’m there thinking that I could sell this controller to this lady. Help her get her son, I assume, the Christmas present he wants. And I’m weighing that against how incredibly weird it would be for some foreign stranger asshole to randomly offer to sell a Switch 2 Pro controller he happened to have. Just because he overheard your struggle and watched Jingle All the Way two too many time.
I settled on telling her about the first store I went to. How they had stock early that day and it was only 15 minutes away.
