Community is about looking out for those around you and one group of workers in Valley Stream Best Buy, New York store have solidified the meaning of that looking out for a young man they noticed coming to the store every day.

The young man would come in and play the store’s Wii U games system almost every day for hours on end.

The employees noticed this kid and decided to put their cash together to buy him a Wii U and a copy of Super Smash Bros.

CNN Reported:

Rahiem Storr, one of the managers at the Valley Stream, New York, store, said the teen came in every day to play games on the store’s display system.

In an email to CNN, Storr said employees Kenneth Fernandez and Pal Ndoja decided to buy the teen the Wii U with their own money so he could play the game at home. The employees surprised the teen while he was playing the Wii U in the store.

The game system currently sells for $300 on Best Buy’s website.
Storr posted video of the gift presentation last week on YouTube, where it’s been seen more than a million times.

“On behalf of all of us here at Best Buy, we got you a Wii U,” an employee said in the video. “This is something we did for you. Everyone here that you see, we all got together and chipped in so you could have it.”

The gift left the teen almost speechless at first, but he grinned and wiped his cheek when he realized what was happening.

“No for real, this is for you. Consider it an early Christmas present,” the employee told him.

When they drove the kid home his parents were welcoming and thankful. The kid still came by Best Buy to play a little more though…. He apparently just likes being at Best Buy.
