Argh.
I showed up for work (Best Buy) early on Tuesday to buy the Clerks: Uncensored disc, and we were already sold out (this was around 4 pm). Since then, I've tried Circuit City, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and Target - none of them have it. So today I call Media Play. The dude tells me they have 8 copies. I ask "Are you sure it's the animated series and not the movie?" He says yes.
I make the 20 minute trek through the snow to Media Play, and the disc is nowhere in sight. I find the dude that I called. He says "Well, the computer said we have 8, but it looks like we don't have any after all. You might want to try again tomorrow". At this point I tell him to get his manager for me.
She says that she knows for sure that they're in the store somewhere. She then goes to the comedy section and hands me the Clerks disc (the original movie). I tell her that that's not what I'm looking for - I want the disc that just came out on Tuesday. She says "When he told you we have it, he probably meant this". I inform her that I was very specific on the phone when I asked him about the disc. Then, holding the Clerks DVD, she tells me
"I'm positive that this is the one that came out on Tuesday".
At this point I not-so-politely inform her that I've had the DVD that she's holding for about four months now and storm out of the store. So here I am, still Uncensoredless.
ARGH!
