So I'm now banned from Toys R Us.

I called off half day sick from work today, because, well. I was actually sick. As I was driving home, in the pouring rain, with a splitting headache and a stomach to match, I remembered the $10 Star Wars Episode 2 offer at Toys R Us. So against my better judgment, I pulled in and hope to pick up a copy. I wondered around for about 15 minutes, couldn't find it anywhere. I was in the section called "The R Zone". They had three cashiers. I tried to ask one of them where the dvd might be but I was told to wait in line. Just as it was my turn, a guy jumps in front of me and asked the same thing I was going to. Turns out they had them all under the counter. They asked which version he wanted, he said widescreen, they gave it to him and they said congratulations, you have the last copy of wide screen. Oh and they started ringing him up. Never mind he butted in front of me but about 6 other people in line. Ok, I was pissed. So I started to loudly voice my displeasure. Smugly the cashier said that they had plenty of full screen copies. I requested a rain check. No rain checks for "in stock" items. I explained that it wasn't in stock. I asked to see the manager. While waiting they wanted to debate me into taking the full screen version. I told them if they wanted to sell it to me at 2/3rds the sale price (since only 2/3rds of the movie is on the disk) I would take it. I then repeated the issue at hand, they didn't display proper information about the location of the merchandise, they weren't serving customers in order, and they have a very unhappy customer because of it. The jerk that cut in front of me had finish paying for the last copy of Star Wars Episode II wide screen. Now, to fully appreciate this, I have to describe him. He's a geek. Yeah I'm a geek too but he was one of those mid 30s really fat troll like comic book store geeks with bad skin and a voice of a 12 year old who is starting to crack that give us geeks a bad name. I kid you not, complete with a magic the gathering t-shirt. At this point he takes his DVD out of his bag, shoves it in my face and starts chanting in his shrill little voice "I got the last one" over and over.
Now what happens next isn't my finest moment. There were a great number of options available to me. Ignoring him and continue insisting to talk to a manager would probably be the most beneficial course of action. Baring that, telling the nerd to go to hell is always available to civil folks. I could of just said "screw this" and bought SWE2 for $15 at Best Buy. No friends I hauled off and clocked him. I have never ever hit anyone in anger and if I wasn't sick going into the store, I can't imagine I would have started today. It’s kind of fuzzy at this point as to what exactly happened. I remember the geek shoving me, and I may have taken another swipe or push. The cashier climbed over the counter and got between us. The geek spit on the cashier (think he was aiming for me) but the cashier went ballistic and hauled him out of the store.
I was left standing there, with shocked parents and employees surrounding me. I turned to other cashiers and said "this is really embarrassing. I'll find my way out". They shook their heads yes. As I was leaving, the cashier that hauled the geek out spotted me and way shouting "you better not show your ass here again."
So, that’s my story. Going to lay down now and fight my headache.
