Niketalk,
I have been watching this post and I have been unsucessful in getting my size 13 pair of Space Jams, thus far. Holding out for that special someone to comethrough, you know who you are, but I have a bone to pick with everyone who works at Finishline. My local Finishline got a FSR of Space Jams on 12/23. As of12/21, all Space Jams at my Finishline had been sold out. @++. 2 days before the release date and all the employees had already either sold a pair to one oftheir friends, or they have saved their pair in the back for themselves. 2 days before release date, so this left a very bitter taste in my mouth as is.
Then come today. I go to the mall with my roommate, we roll into Finishline and ask if they have any Space Jams left in size 13! The employee says,"Negative Ghostrider." I was like, "Can I please speak to the manager, about seeing if we can check all the stores in the U.S. for a pair ofsize 13's." The manager rolls over and he starts scanning the Finishline computer. He says something like their are 41 pairs of size 13's areleft in the computer system, but we can not order them, "For Restrictions due to the high profile release of the Space Jams."
I say whatever and me and my roommate are about to leave, when I notice out of the corner of my eye the employee who I first spoke too, ringing himself up forthree pairs of Space Jams. Size 12, 13, and 13.5.
HOLD UP!
I go back to the manager and I say @++ is that! He tries to give me some BS about how the employee went out of town for X-Mas and those were his pairs savedfor him. I tell the manager there is no way he better be getting his discount on those and the manager says he isn't. But as I look closer to theregister, sure enough the employee has given himself the 30% that all Finishline employees get on all three pairs.
At this point I throw a fit. I tell the manager that I want to speak to his district manager and I want an explanation why I was told all pairs were sold 2days before release date, why the employee was able to save his pairS, why I was lied too, and why the employee got his discount. He gives me some BS responseand then proceeds to call Mall security on me.
I am asked to politely leave Finishline.
At this point, my roommate is about ready to ahve to put me in a sleeper hold for how furious I am. I cool off and as security follows me out of the mall, Isee the Finishline employee who bought my size 13 and 13.5 in the store outside and he asks me ...
"Hey bro ... I'll sell these size 13 Space Jams to you for $350!"
Meister.
