Introducing: The TwinShock 3 Controller!

Some kid came into my job recently with a "TwinShock 3" controller, claiming he found it on Amazon.

Check out this gem.

So, the kid comes in with his mom, complaining that one of the buttons stopped working. (I can't imagine why the buttons would stop working on a $10 PS3 controller that was scraped from the bowels of the internet.) So I say the polite version of:

"Well, ma'am, that is a cheap-as-shit controller, so cheap and sucky that not even the most unscrupulous of retailers would be willing to stock it on shelves, hence why you had to scrape it from the internet's bowels."

You know, generally, product pricing isn't a huge scam. If the real version of something is $54.99 and you find a $9.99 knock-off in some internet warehouse, odds are, the $9.99 knock-off is not a very good product. Same goes for all the people who keep trying to sell my store disgusting off-off-off-brand tablets they found on a website they can't remember the name of.

"Will you buy our TwinShock 3 from us?" they asked.

"You literally just told me it doesn't work, so... no."

The kid swore.
