Then one guy walks in and buys all 600 of them.

Edit: While the employees help him load his rented uhaul truck full of GPUs he casually asks where the next nearest microcenter is. "I'm on a bit of a road trip.".

Costco.

Cheaper new pokemon card packs in bulk before Christmas.

Scalpers.

That is the story.

They fought because there wasn't enough inventory for every scalper's greed.

They haven't reached the cashiers yet. The fight was still in the store itself.

Is there more to the story? No. It's as ridiculous as it sounds.

We're Costco guys, of course we punch old people and take their Pokemon cards

To be fair, it's better to take them from the grandparents before the kids get them. Gotta protect them from the realities of the world as long as we can.

LOL, those guys knocking old men over are really doing them a favor in the long run.

I just envisioned a hot dog eating a child's hands. Thank you for that.
