Wii Portland

[prog]

My field agents report visual contact with Wiis on shelves in the Portland Mall's Best Buy.

Sadly, the thought of willingly walking into a mall on Xmas eve, and then entering a store that is known to conduct bag searches on its customers (each of whom, it assumes, is likely an Oxycontin-addled thief - not a groundless assumption since this is Maine we're talking about), fills me with loathing, so I will probably give the opportunity a pass.

Still, it's interesting intel. Until now I haven't heard of Wii acquisition outside of those awarded to the first N people in that day's Wii Line, which is another phenomenon I shall have no part of.

I'm under the impression that actually, almost all of the gratuitously awful attacks on customers are about trying to stop employee theft, or employee assisted theft more then shoplifters. This is the same reason that Sam's Club wants to check your receipt against your items 15 feet from where you just purchased them.
