...Day 153???? Bublehead can get no love.
I looked several times for anyone in the CGC booth, and, after talking with several, close, show room floor-mates around their booth, determined that the reps for CGC were suprisingly scarce when it came to actually hanging out and promoting their products. That was because when I asked them if anyone had seen the CGC rep, they said, and I quote, “well, that seems to be the question everyone else keeps asking us, because we haven’t seen them.”
I also wanted to tell them the setup of over half the MBr’s at their booth had issues like- The SDTM ejects from the scoop, SDTM tipped off Drac’s feet, and tilts that would just til-til-tilt from pushing the flipper buttons, and were, for all intents and purposes, unplayable. I walked away with the feeling I was even MORE convinced that CGC didn’t give a shit about selling me a MB machine, but were just a company looking to sell as many MMr, AFMr, MBr or CGCr#4’s as they can to those willing to wait for “quality”. Well I hope their definition of “quality” of my machine is higher than the definition of “quality” of the people who set those MB machines up and expected them to help sell the “quality” of CGC.
I mean, If I had to actually characterize how it felt to me the entire weekend? Like they were HIDING from MBrLE customers who are still waiting on their machines. Yep, I will say it. I walked by the CGC booth more than 10 times, nothing but people 2-3 deep playing games, but not a single warm CGC body in sight. I know what they look like, I saw one later.
And then once, I caught a glimpse of a CGC logo on a shirt as it walked by me as I stood waiting by the autograph signing session. I am not sure if my tap on his shoulder was just too much physical input for whomever was wearing the shirt, but obviously that shoulder had been tapped on one too many times that day already. Those nerve endings must have been shot from all the other grumpy, lied to, projected delivery by January-at the latest by February-but not yet delivered in March and probably won’t see it delivered before April-paid $1000 nonrefundable down in October-paid in full on March 9th (and paid every cent asked of me when it was asked of me by my distributor) customers tapping on it.
Not sure who the diminutive man in the chambray CGC Logo eblazoned shirt was that didn’t either hear me or feel my poke-poke as he walked by, but he may just have difficulty locating his shoulder and other parts of his body as bad as I am at locating my own rectum with both thumbs, I can’t be sure, but I wasn’t about to go chasing after him if a fairly direct “Hey Sailor!” <jab-jab> didn’t register above a friendly crowd-pressed grope. I mean he could of at least turned around and looked up at whoever was trying to get his attention, but obviously that ear had gone deaf listening to customers calling him four hours a day asking were their MBrLEs were at a 98 decibel sound pressure level which has been know to accelerate angry customer mouth spittle to sub-light speeds.
I was asked by @cgc-ryan to look him up here at TPF, and I have tried finding him at their booth over 10 times, and then the only time I saw a CGC shirt and tried to get thier attention, I was ignored due to crowd press, noise, or dead nerve endings. I am going to try one more time to find him today, maybe send him a text...
