      Yes because it’s totally necessary to spell it “Call of Duty” to a Gamestop employee.

      You know, C.O.D., that little unknown indie game that totally nobody ever heard of.

      This is clearly fake but if it wasn’t that would legitimatelly warrant a warning to the employee for misconduct.

        Buddy, I can guarantee you there are GameStop employees who don’t know that “cod” means “Call of Duty”. Sucks for the parent, but a good lesson for the kid.

                Nah, I’m way too tall for that - grew out of it.

                But on a serious note, learning that clear communication is necessary is an important lesson, and it’s way better to learn that from something recreational than something important.
