Retail hell (The EB years) - Hidden "treasures"

RSS Bot · August 2, 2010

EB Games was famous for taking trade-ins (at usually sucky prices for mad markups later) and a big trade-in item was the Playstation 2. As many know, there was a space inside to put a hard drive. After one particular experience where the customer asked for the system back for a moment, opened the door on the back and grabbed something out of it, I made the crew start opening the door to check for anything we probably would not want other customers to have before resale. Here is the top ten list in no particular order.

1. new condoms

2. used condom (we all skeezed on that one and refused to take the system. The person called the corporate office and they said he was sick. We laughed.)

3. 2oz bag of pot (and they came running back next day)

4. small bag of cocaine (never came back. We sent that crap down the toilet)

5. $1000 in cash (Them I called and they came in and gave me $100 of it for my honesty, which then I distributed amongst the crew...they made sucky wages so why...
