XBOX 360 Witchhunt
I decided to run to walmart tonight to get some Epsom Salt and triple-antibiotic ointment for my spider bite. While walking around walmart I hear an employee talking about the XBOX 360’s being stocked in stores all over KC. Evidently there was going to be a shipment of 4 to 6 boxes per store.
So armed with a trusty credit card with a high limit, a stearn look on my face, and some gas in the passat — I set out to buy a few Xboxs!
First stop: 151 and metcalfe! To no eval! They sold out as soon as they pulled them off the truck.
Second Stop: 135 / StateLine! Another girl is waiting. They say “We’ve got four left!” I was super stoked! They said I could buy two — so we waited for them to come back with our boxes. No, sorry, magically they have disappeared off our inventory! WTF? Seems that even though they had six - sold two, and then had four left for the girl and I — they had mysteriously sold “our” four… Yeah right. The manager was a twenty something year old punk who obviously was lying.
Never the less, I had to the third stop… a more dangerous area walmart …
Banister Mall!
Imagine, if you will, a Walmart located on the far corner of the set. This, my friends, is the banister mall area. It’s 12:31am. No respectable human being has been in this area in over four hours…
Sure enough, that walmart closes at midnight! Doh! I am going to try and get up early and make it in time to try and buy two in the morning.
Finally, I stop at 119 and Metcalfe - A desperation move - since I know that only the most elite shop at this Walmart - None. They sold out at 10.
Moral of the story - Five Walmarts in the whole - You can try and try, but you’ll have to pay 1000 bucks on Ebay for an XBOX 360.
