Lol that was the best. “My dude you are the 40th person to ask me to check today, I checked the first two just in case, they’re sold out everywhere and we both know it.”
Then the next question, ‘can you call the other stores and check if they have any?’ and it’s like they won’t believe you that they’re sold out everywhere. Like, “Buddy, I’ve called the other stores several times, they’ve called me several times. We’re all calling each other asking for the same thing, they’re sold out everywhere.” Even then some people still didn’t believe us, like if they yell and scream loud enough and long enough we’ll bring one out from a secret supply we keep hidden just because.
