I am a Toys R Us Electronics employee. We began our Shaymin distribution week today.
I will not receive my Shaymin this week. Perhaps not ever.
It's not because I forgot my DS today. I didn't want to drive back on my own time just for a Shaymin anyways.
I was doing what I always do ever since Dickhead Manager decided to throw me out of electronics: Ignoring him and doing the work that needed to be done. As soon as the one guy in electronics gets overwhelmed, I sweep in and begin gracefully cutting the workload down.
I like the distribution events. They're very easy to handle. You just smile at kids and tell them which menu options to pick, and they look at you like you've given them a solid gold bar.
But one little girl was not delighted. She told us she had gotten the Shaymin, accepted it from the delivery man at the Pokemart, and forgotten to save her game. She had actually powered the DS off and now had recorded data of Shaymin being received, but no Shaymin to show for it.
Nintendo is absolutely batshit insane against letting anybody, anywhere, anytime abuse their little Event things. All these little cut-offs are to keep you from downloading multiple Shaymin, or to simply trade them away one by one, or some other stupid thing.
She was only gone for a few minutes, leaving after I suggested that she would need to trade with another downloader and only if they'd give their Shaymin to her. She returned with her mother, and I was suddenly seized by a burning resolve in my soul!
I would use my lunch break to drive back to my house, retrieve my own DS, drive back, download Shaymin, and trade it to her.
And I did. I used 31 minutes of my 30 minute lunch, downloaded Shaymin, and waited 15 minutes for them to return.
She was thrilled. Her mom said it was her little girl was on the verge of tears when she praised me in talking to my manager(a good manager, too. Cool Mom Manager.) My manager let me take a 20 minute on-the-clock break later to eat.
And that, my friends, is why it's Team Fancy. We've got a lot of class.
