Have you ever gotten looks while buying wrestling figures? I have gotten a few stares that said "He's too old to be buying toys", and it's really annoying. What about you?

You're probably being paranoid. Most people don't give a %$#@ what other people are looking at in the stores (unless you are buying the last item of something- and they also wanted it).

Who cares. Those cashiers are making what, 7-8 bucks an hour. When I picked up the Legends Rick Rude the older lady checking me out starred at the figure and said "Wow, he looks just like that picture of him." I just chuckled and said yah.

I don't get many looks anymore. I got a couple figures the other day and the cashier, my dad, and I just talked about football while we up there cause he was telling everyone to pull for the Jets since that's his team lol I'm a Raiders fan, so I've had it pretty bad NFL-wise the past decade or so..  |

people today have very limited knowledge. one time when I went to a TRU express that opened up over a month ago and when I bought about 8 figures, the cashier right away knew that they are for collectors and said they think it's ignorant when people right away say "aren't they too old for toys" and said that there is a large collection fan base and that a lot of people fail to see that.

oh my god this is my very first post and I'm so glad I found this topic because I always wondered what the rest of the "older" people on this forum thought about this. I only buy the legends but I'm 28 and am tremendously paranoid I will run into someone I know at one of these stores. I even went as far as spending 6 bucks on a happy birthday gift bag at k mart last week so no one would think I was buying those demolition figures for myself. LOL

LOL don't worry about it man. next time you get a fig do this, (just an example) if you got a macho man and someone you know says something and they like current day stuff like the jersey shore or rappers like drake or lil wayne and they go "dude aren't you too old for toys" you can say "this is to commemorate my favorite wrestlers...besides Macho Man can destroy Pauly D or Lil Wayne" |

I used to get looks every now then. When asked who they were for I would say "for me.....I was told to get a hobby after that incident with the clever and the astroglide". Or some similar off putting strange remark to totally wreck their train of thought. Now that I'm in my 30s I don't get the looks,or asked the questions. Either they think its toys for my kids or I scare the hell out of them with this recently aquired epic beard. Seriously, I look like John Stamos with Zack Galifinakis' beard now. No one wants to mess with that.

If I did then I didn't notice.
Really, I don't care what other people think of me. Especially when they are people I don't know and will never actually interact with. I have friends who will hear people comment about them and get mad, but I just don't understand that. Do what makes you happy and ignore the haters. It's really not that hard.

I dont think I get looked at while getting figures but then again I dont really check if they are looking xD
I have had looks from cashiers before and one time this woman asked "buying this for yourself?". When I said yes she just said cool.
No drama yet. However if something like a bad look or something negative was said about me buying figures, I dont think it would go down well.
Im generally a chill dude and am not to self concious. But if a cashier was to mistreat me for buying an action figure, then I will probably say some cold stuff back to them. "Who are they to judge me?" You know what I mean?

Who gives a flying nexus that they make 7 or 8 bucks an hour? atleast its a job asswipe That's true. You shouldn't look down on someone because of their job . . . but by the same token, someone shouldn't give two sh*ts what you choose to spend YOUR money on. They're being paid to ring up merchandise, not pass judgment. Maybe a guy who works for a Fortune 500 company can get away with making snide cracks if I buy wrestling figs, but not someone who makes less than I do. Perhaps you should look at the cashier and say "hey, what do you collect? Anything?" If and when they respond, then tell them what they like is stupid or childish. I bet they would tell you it's not your business. They would be right. But it goes both ways. P*ss on people who down on you for spending your dough on things you like. |
