A renewed faith in humanity.

I have been frequenting the local Gamestop for a couple years now just to browse at the shiney things I cant afford. A while back I found a couple of the 3 inch Marvel legends figures but the characters where ones I just didnt want or need so I walked away from them even though the price had been reduced to only $4.00. I bought something that day ( your guess is as good as mine as to what it was I bought that day) but what's more important is the nearly forgettable small chitchat that I briefly had with the guy ringing me up .I said something to the effect that I wish I had got there sooner because the 2 characters from the line I wanted had already sold .I guess he ask me who it was I was looking for and I told him Spiderman Noir and Captain Marvel and he said something to the effect that he worked at 2 other Gamestops and he would take a look for them for me. I'm assuming I muttered thanks while thinking "sure you will buddy" and went on my way completely forgetting the event till today. I walk in the store and the same guy was there ( Gamestop employees all kinda look alike to me , no offence meant but its true) and he was like "ah just the person Iv been waiting for, I found your figures! I was like "what the heck are you talking about" so he reminded me of the chitchat that day and presented me with Spiderman Noir and Captain Marvel! Not only did he find them and bring them to me but they had a nice shiney bright yellow clearance sticker with the price of $1.97 each! Needless to say this made my day.Its rare for somebody you dont know to go out of there way to help you in this world and its great to see that there are still cool people to be found out there. Here is a quick peek at them , Ill give them the proper BrotherMidnight treatment at a later date .

  4. Cool story. We all see goodness on a daily basis. (maybe not this cool) It just doesn't sell newspapers or page clicks.
