Chris never letting go. Well that's not a surprise. I think his grudge against Snyder and Walsh are also still rebouncing around his empty skull.

I wish weens would leave him alone and not shame him any longer for expressing his grudges, we could potentially, get a lot more content if Chris is just left alone and not given unintentional awareness through weenery.

It was not online shopping, but Chris himself that provoked the banhammer forcing him to resort to other means of obtaining inferior goods made for 5-7 year olds. This is what happens in society, when you don't respect things, people, or places, they don't respect you. I am kind of glad that places of business don't pander to SJW autistic shenanigans.

I asked myself that same question. Why doesn't Chris just shop at Amazon.com? They have everything he could want to buy, and in many cases, they would be cheaper than the prices he pays for them in store or on eBay

I think the reason he is so desperately trying to get the ban lifted is because of his mother. He still spends on eBay and that requires packages coming to the door. Presumably, the postman will at least ring the door bell when leaving a package, and that means Barb is alerted.When that happens, he has to explain himself to his ailing mother why he is squandering what little funds they have on frivolous toys when they are in crippling debt.

If he is able to buy his shit in a store, he probably knows a way to bring them into the house without his mother seeing his latest purchases.

Maybe partly to get away from barb, but Chris loves to shop at gamestores, see the new shit in person, touch stuff and so on, it's an experiance for him and it's the most exciting part of his month. Online shopping may be cheaper but it robs him of one of his only outlets.

This. The retail experience speaks to his autism and is a big part of his life. Toy shopping got him to speak, his God and savior, Sonic, gave him a shopping spree. Hell, in his perfect world his mayors office is in a mall.

Fatty is so lazy he can't even write a separate rant about a second place which has banned him without copypasting the majority of it.

It's really hard to sympathize with him having "a single bad day" when all of these bannings took place at different times and show a clear chronic pattern of deplorable behavior he engages in in response to any time he feels unhappy.

Chris knows what he did was wrong. When you look at it from Chris' perspective, he's very consciously aware that he does bad things. He knows he gets flustered, calls someone a jerk, and then later regrets it.

But the way he looks at it, he thinks that people should be more considerate of a fuckup like that. He'll apologize, but he'll also point out that he was worked up and flustered, so he didn't really mean it. So if you aren't considerate of what it feels like to get flustered (and then go on to make mistakes because of that), you're being a dick.

This puts it really well. It's almost alien to comprehend for normal people like you and me, who understand the concept that we owe recompense to other people when we transgress against them, whether deliberate or accidental. That makes it hard to explain as well, but I like your choice of words. Chris does feel bad when he does bad things, but he honestly expects his victims to accept him feeling bad as being good enough punishment - to the point that he often doesn't even feel it necessary to communicate to them that he's feeling bad, that's too much extra! He feels offended when you suggest that sorry feelings aren't enough to make it up to people when they've lost something because of him.

I think he's shoplifting and these are the stores where he can get away with it.

Maybe it's so he can 'Wheel and Deal' (Scam) stores like in this example:
For your information... A) the recent 43.98 purchase was actually a spot of Wheeling and Dealing I did; I actually spent less to make a profit. Toys 'R' Us had Borderlands for PS3 for a lower price than the current $39.99 price at Best Buy; I paid 20.98 for it at T.R.U. After that, I took the game to Best Buy, told them I received it as a gift and got the store credit of 41.??, THEN I got what I really wanted, Resident Evil 5 G.E. and a 10 dollar PSN Card, but even the two items would still leave me with some credit, so I added the Silent Hill movie, and paid the 3 dollar difference in cash.

I'd say wait a few months and walk back in, but Gamestop's seem to have surprising employee retention. At least they do further south.

There's no way Chris will get away with the Fashion Square one. Even if it has all different employees, that incident is almost certainly part of that store's lore by this point. If Chris wasn't so recognizable maybe he could walk back in but come on.
 
I would assume a lot of people in his city are pretty aware of at least some of his exploits, I doubt anyone working at that gamestop hasn't heard about the incident.
 
I can't stop laughing at the, "Gamestop is hereby discriminating against. . .", as is if this is some sort of royal proclamation to be hung on the doors of all the places that have banned him for all to see.

And what makes it even funnier is I know that's exactly how he means us to see it as. I'm going to laugh so hard if this all leads to him getting arrested again.

It'd be really funny if he printed these posts out and tried taping them up on the doors of these establishments, like an autistic Ninety-five Theses.

You know, he might regret it for a while, but it seems like his brain lacks object permanency, meaning, as long as it's not in front of his face it does not exist, which is why he disables his youtube comments, rarely replies to facebook posts, and can just push something to the back of his mind until he forgets to remember it. I don't think Chris has a real concept of past, present, and future either.

Oh yeah, he's got the memory of a goldfish. And he thinks he's got all the time in the world for almost everything. Actually, I'd say he does know past, present, future. They're just autistically strict. There's no gradient between "near future" vs "long term goals", for example.

Yeah, exactly. Like, Chris is aware of the process. He's aware that you make a mistake, acknowledge it, make it up for it in some way, and then you should be good, more or less.

He just thinks that the steps between mistake and "being good" are mere formalities. In fact, they're so well established as formalities, that it's downright nitpicky to insist on them.

Heh, when you've got a form letter for your "single bad days", you've got problems son.

Kinda like how Chris thought that because he picked Julie when BlueSpike offered him Julie or his PSN account; he said he picked Julie, assuming because he picked the "right" choice, he should get both.

Chris understands real world concepts as they are on paper. He understands that he had a choice, Julie or PSN accounts; and he understands that he did Action A that got him Punishment A; but the steps in between and after aren't as easy to accept or process.

Megan, for example, told him over and over that she was uncomfortable with Chris touching her and all the other stuff. Chris would always say "Well I apologized for that, I'm doing better" and two days later he was touching her again and didn't understand why she was still mad about the other times he touched her. And then the drawing. He seemed to not understand that Megan was mad at him for drawing it at all, much less for posting it. But Chris said "I apologized" and assumed that Megan was still mad only because trolls had it and it was still on the internet. He never did (even to this day) understand that "I'm sorry" isn't enough when you draw yourself finger banging your only friend who never thought of you as more than a well known acquaintance.
 
I always feel that with Chris, the very act of acknowledging any wrongdoing requires such a herculean effort that he believes doing so absolves him of the wrongdoing, so then the ball's in the other party's court.

He also seems to think forgiveness is owed, and that if he says sorry and you don't say all is well then you've in turn transgressed against him by breaking some kind of social contract. Like when Snyder banned him and Chris apologized and Snyder basically responded, "OK, thanks, but I still don't want you in my store," Snyder had became "Cold-hearted and Mean." He sees apologies as not much more than the "Now say you're sorry and hug and go play" ritual of childhood.

Yeah, it's like he's selecting dialogue choices in a game, he chose the correct one so he gets to advance. Only he's the only one playing by the rules and everybody else is cheating.
