My Xbox One controller came with two disposable AA batteries. It did not come with the play and charge kit. That was an additional charge. My original Gameboy from the 80's did not come with batteries of any kind. I haven't purchased a new portable game device since then, unless a smartphone counts.

Have you not learned the maxim of what happens when you assume? Because I'm pretty sure every human being has been burnt by a false assumption, at least once.

I read the box to make sure it did include it, though.

Any attempt to not read the box is lazy and ignorant.

Really? You don't read the box to ensure you're getting what you want in a TV?

Every retailer, huh? I just bought an Xbox One a couple of months ago and it was on a shelf, in the open. It had the goofy super-plastic security module strapped to it, but in no way infringed or prohibited my ability to read the box. And the store was leading electronic seller BestBuy.

Your "Constitutionally-protected demonstration", which ultimately you mean the Freedom of assembly, must be peaceful or else it isn't constitutionally protected anymore.

Kinda like how most departments make officers get tased before they're allowed to carry one on duty? :)

Sounds like the kid has semi-shitty parents.

And it is the American consumers' fault for not reading shit. That's why we have to put fucking warning PICTURES on bleach to ensure people don't drink it.

Let's look at some facts.

It's how I make it through my day.

You never got a check in the mail? Now I haz a sad. :(

I would ask for you to have your head examined if you did any differently.

I don't know if one of my other posts went through and if it didn't my response would possibly make a tad more sense. Essentially, no one should ask what the Fox thinks when it comes to guarding the Hen house.

The market pays what it can afford to bear. And you could be using travel hacks to get around the world on the cheap. But it's the combination of your bragging about how much you make along with how worldly traveled you are that causes my response. It isn't any more elitist than your response on how you snub patrons…

I'm not even going to look for a similar sentiment in the comment section.

So, does boycotting in front of a store while keeping customers out by forming a human chain equal a violation of the RICO act?

Your $20 depends on where you are. I know Gawker media is more metropolitan but in come states that $20 is remarkably high for a waiter.

I did my stint in McD country and was making a dollar more than minimum wage in the 90's, as well.
