Oh yea, i forgot, you are always right 

Putting bubble gum on clothing is not an accident but it is being done on purpose, it is nothing but uneducated and  uncivilized . To compare purposely disposing bubble gum on a t-shirt and car accident is totally irreverent. That is why they call it a car ACCIDENT

Of course there is risk in running a business, but why purposely dispose off bubble gum on a brand new t-shirt ? I rather someone stole it off, at least the thief can still wear the t-shirt or sell it or put it to good use. but spoiling a new t-shirt ... lol

you did not get what i mean, did ya ?         

It look like i am always on the retailer side. Yea, i am doing retail but when i go out to shop, i am a consumer too, you know. So basically, if you can understand the both side of retailer and consumer, you should be grateful that there is retail shop for you to go do your shopping and i bet you that all retailer is more than glad to have your support for them.
Retailer open shop to do business my friend, not charity. They will try to make every cents out of you. Whether they do charity or not, we don't know . lol 

I would say that paying over the odds to someone I know is still better than paying over the odds to some scalper from eBay.

And since TM has a number of sold out items and rarer limited editions I'd prefer to keep my options open. It costs me nothing to be civil, polite and nice to them. Their shop, their rules - so when I masuk I try to keep my hands to myself anyways.

nah la , selling t-shirt with bubble gum sticking to it before (even if it has been removed) to customer is just not right

The seller name Ken (i guess from the receipt i got) and one lady have a nice attitude dealing with the situation, they keep their voice down all the time and explain with fact and their shop policy (you must buy which one you have check). But I persist to get the perfect figure that I want, I apologies that I do not understand their shop policies and explain to them that the next shop (XL) always let me check and pick the one I want.

Then suddenly this fat guy with glasses (idk who he is, owner, partner or worker) speak with Ken and the lady in Cantonese saying "dont sell to him, let him find at other place". This is the word that trigger me, Im about to walk out but the lady try hold me back then I snap! I point my finger at the fat guy, raise my voice tone and say "He say dont sell to me, I can buy at the next shop!" The lady apologies with their calm and professional attitude, we talk things out and they let me check the second box (which is perfect).

The conclusion is I like Gamers Arena price, they are at least rm10-20 cheaper than XL but I do not like their shop policies :/ and the fat guy with glasses. Compliment for Ken and the lady for keeping them self calm and professional.
