The customer is heard muttering to the Gamestop employee, clearly unhappy with his situation, before walking away off-screen.

The customer then slams down another stand covered in Xbox Live and PlayStation Network cards, before pushing over more shelves featuring games before storming out the door, past a gobsmacked man.
