Not really a display, but rather a display piece. Story goes like this….
So no ish there I was at a local Hot Topic, the other day, looking for a birthday gift for my son. There was an employee up on a ladder, helping a customer check out some Pops on the top shelf of the Pop wall. The employee finished helping the customer and as he was about to come down the ladder I said, “Hey, while you are up there I’ll take the Funko sign”.
Now usually when I visit any Hot Topic I’ll ask to buy the Funko Sign and Im usually met with the same look, “like really bro!!” Or the girl will giggle and say it isnt for sale. But this employee straight up said “No”. There was an awkward pause as he came down the ladder but then he said, “I have one the the back, for “X” amount its yours, do you want it?”
I quickly replied, “hell ya”. He said, “Great, by the way all of the money will be donated to Mental health awareness.” I then said, “Even better..thats awesome, I am definitely down with that!” So then he comes out from the back and hands me the sign. It had some scratches, but nothing a little love couldn't cure.
I walked out of that Mall with the sign over my head like I won the WWE Championship!
Side note: I only placed the sign on the mantel for the picture. There was no way Wifey was going to let me leave it there!!
