Vengeful Man Left A Bad Review Because A Comic Book Store Employee Wouldn’t Help Him Pirate Comics

The subreddit r/ChoosingBeggars is a place where you can find the “best” of humanity: cheap and self-interested people who want something and everything for nothing and can’t understand why those around them don’t share their opinion. They see themselves as the center of the universe, believing everyone should comply with their needs and demands. Okay, sure.

This story was posted by u/Felipegarza and appears to be a screenshot of a Yelp review for a “Challengers” comic book store. This guy is unbelievable; you will see.

We can’t see the reviewer’s name, but he begins with a reference to the Comic Book Guy in The Simpsons.

“Rudest. Employee. Ever.”

Yeah, man.

He continues, “I was in the area and went to Challengers just to see if there were any new comic titles that I may have missed downloading digital versions of.”

Great. Please continue.

He describes how he was approached by an employee, whom he describes very rudely: “This sloppy, fat, tattooed guy with a messy beard that looked like a bird’s nest walks up to me and asks if I’m looking for something specific.”

“I told him no; I’m just looking to see if there are any new titles out that I may have missed putting on my list of comic titles to download off the internet,” the reviewer continued. Of course, the employee was not too happy to hear about his plans.

The real-life Comic Book Guy continues:

“Then the dude goes off on me, telling me I shouldn’t download pirate comics and that I should buy them to support the industry, blah, blah, blah… Sorry, with comic books going for $5.00+ a book these days, I’m not going to spend money on something I can get off the web for free.”

The proper thing to do would be to avoid telling the truth about what you’re doing. The reviewer didn’t think so.

“If the dude didn’t like that I wasn’t buying anything, he should have kept his mouth shut,” he says. “You don’t go off on people like that. Talk about being TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL! With an employee like that, this comic book shop deserves to go belly up with the rest of the comic book shops dropping like flies.”

“Comic book shops dropping like flies.” Why do you think that is happening? Maybe because of people like you?

Reddit

People on r/ChoosingBeggars are mostly shocked by the reviewer’s obvious lack of understanding that he and folks like him are the real reason comic book stores are closing down left and right.

Or as user Tony_Cheese_ said, “This jerk told me to quit breaking the law and hurting his profits because I think I’m special and should get people’s hard work for free. He wouldn’t even help me find stuff to not buy.”
