WATCH: Electronics Store Employees Pitch In To Buy Nintendo For Boy

The Canadian Press, 13 Dec, 2016 12:40 PM
    VALLEY STREAM, N.Y. — Employees at a New York electronics store have come together to buy a Nintendo system for a boy who frequently plays video games there.
     
    The Best Buy employees are seen presenting a $300 Nintendo WiiU (WEE'-yoo) to the boy at the Long Island store in a video that WABC-TV reports was posted online by store manager Rahiem Storr.
     
     
    The boy appears to have been left speechless after being given the early Christmas gift. The employees also bought him a game and gave him a ride to make sure he brought the system home safely.
     
    Storr tells the station that he saw a bit of himself in the boy. He says the employees figured if they were able to give him something, "why not?"
