don't be so lienent undefined, your already helping them too much by not filing going to CC first, you need that police report, and ask for termination. It was mentioned earlier, by doing this, you are protecting yourself, your family, FW members who shop there, and anyone else who would be hassled by that manager

I cant believe he got so pissed over a few games....

. Undefined, too bad it will take some hours of your time to follow up on this, but it may help the next person in that store, from being hurt. I could just imagine a fiesty old PS2-player granny going toe to toe with those jerks and ending up with a hip replacement.

. makes me feel a lot better seeing CC pick on someone who understand non-violent self defence and knowing CC did only harm to themselves.

. be sure to make it a big harm unto CC. Stupidity should be painful.

Did this happen in the US of A?
I really appreciate your level headedness and composure during the whole thing and afterwards.
your behaviour was really exemplary.
But as others have said don't be lenient, take action bro. They made a mistake and they should pay for it.
would you want this to happen to another member or some nice kid who just wanted games for good $$.
The manager and store director assaulted you. common man, no body can push you around.
If you let them go just for an apology, they are sure to repeat this.
Call you TV station, the PD and keep us updated.

Believe me, I will be following up with this. At the moment, I don't know what the outcome will be. As an American who was raised overseas I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the concept of litigation. What I mean by that (I'm actually looking to go to law school, don't it's not that I don't understand litigation) is that I hope that there is a way to mend fences and prevent this from happening again without going to court, spending a bunch of money (on both parties account), and fighting for a large $$$ value in "punitive" damages. I still retain hope that businesses can learn lessons when given the opportunity to PREVENT litigation.

No matter what happens - I will keep ya'll informed.

I agree morals exist outside the confines of religion, just being silly. I still applaud your stance.

For what it's worth, I am an atheist. Morals exist outside the confines of religion. I could have had my "What would Buddha Do" or "What would Jesus Do" and the answer should be the same.

Money does not justify violence. Getting a deal [or not] doesn't either. Had he walked up 2 minutes before and squashed the deal I would had walked away without a gripe (in fact, that happened at another CC earlier in the day - see my previous posting)

. make them watch Anger Management, the movie, every morning at the store for a year. Goosfraba!!!

in boulder. this makes me want to drive 30 minutes to lakewood and buy every game they have if they're still at $5

This is out of control! OP, hope to get more follow up from you soon...

I'm sure if Undecided does go ahead with the suit, the manager will probably be the star of their new management-training video, "How NOT To Act and Make a Fool of Yourself, Circuit City and the Other Employees Working Under You"

While I missed the original *hot deal* thread, I was able to catch Undefined's situation and applaud his level-headedness and strength of will. Anyone else would've went off and made the situation worse than it had already been.

Now I'm no CC hater, in fact I love my CC and it's helpful employees, but the management at your CC have to be set straight for letting it get to be that bad of a situation.


Another vote for Undefined - "Man of the Year." For setting exemplary poise for other fatwallet members, on how to act in extremely hostile situations.

I wonder if that is a category in the 2004 Fatwallet Awards?


Thanks for the support. I'm kinda hoping I can get this worked out with Circuit City... i'd hate to have to come here begging everytime there is a CC deal (assuming I am banned from CC).
