Gm in my Mind: "After finding an item that was supposedly on sale locked in a "theft protection case" you notice 5 red-jacketed "Senior Sales ASSociates" congregated around a "help" kiosk. What do you do?"Me: "I carefully approach the kiosk, attempting to make eye contact with the senior Sales Associates" and proclaim "Excuse me, I need some Nicorette, but it's all locked up. Do any of you fine people have a key which would unlock the item which I have a $5 dollar off coupon for?"Reality: The associates eye one another shiftily, two proclaim that they are on break and take a double move to the "employees only break area".  A third looks to the fourth and the fourth looks to the fifth, before the fifth replies "I'm sorry, the manager is out, and he is the only one with the key to that...what was it you wanted?"Me (in my mind): Ooh the blood doth boil, wroth and gall fill my throat, I wish only to reach for the rubber mallet in my shopping cart and beat these three goons into rightous submission, if only some magic could make these knaves understand my need and desire to purchase this item of my desire...Me: Out loud, and quite obviously...draw forth the only magic which modern might has attained, brandish my trusty cellular phone and dial 411 send. It rings, I put it on speaker phone...so that the knaves can hereThey "What are you doing sir?"Me: Excuse me, 411, yes I would like the managers number for Wal-mart in ******, located at *****They: Scatter like leaves in the wind.Me, calling after them: "Don't worry, I memorized your name badges, have a nice day and thank you for helping me at Wal-mart"411 Operator: Your call is connecting bla bla bla... phone connects, ... bla bla bla if you would like to speak with an operator please stay on the line....bla bla bla5 Minutes later: The manager is summoned as if by magic to my exact location, bowing and scraping voiciferously as the power of my summoning is enhanced by my feats "Cut the BS" and "The Customer is Always Right" and my Nicorette is happily in my cart and I am on to the next adventure."The Checkout Line"If you can't have fun and RP at Wal-mart... why worry about overpriced or over-powered magic items. Your the DM. Give em what for baby!Case</blockquote>
