They’re A Little Backwards (Compatible)

(I work at a chain video game store that only sells games for the latest consoles.)

Customer: “Do you have [Game] for the PlayStation?”

Me: “We do, in fact. It should be over in the PlayStation section!”

Customer: *purchases game and leaves*

(The rest of the day passes without incident, but the next day, the customer storms in angrily.)

Customer: “The game you sold me doesn’t work!”

Me: “What’s wrong?”

Customer: “Nothing appears on the screen when I put it in the top!”

Me: “Wait, the top? The disc goes in the side.”

Customer: “No, that’s where the wires go! The disc thingy is on top!”

Me: “Ma’am… Are you sure you’re using a PlayStation 4?”

Customer: “No, I’m using the first one. I thought you could use them in any version!”

Me: “No, you can only use it in the latest console.”

Customer: “But the box says, ‘PlayStation,’ on it!”

Me: *examines game* “No, that says, ‘PlayStation 4.’”

Customer: “It’s still PlayStation!”
