Best Buy Staff Chips in to Buy Wii for Long Island Boy Who Frequents Store
The boy would come in and sit at the demo display every day, so the staff bought him his own.

Staff members at the Best Buy in Valley Stream saw that a local boy would come in every day and play the store's demo Wii U video game system. So to save him the trip every day, the employees got together and bought him his own system.
A video of the exchange was posted to YouTube by Rahiem Storr, who says he is a manager at the Valley Stream Best Buy. Since it was posted on Dec. 7, the video has garnered more than 1 million views.
"The employees in this store saw an opportunity to make a child smile and did just that," Storr wrote in the video's description. "They chipped in and purchased a Wii U for him with their own money."

In the video, the child seems very confused when the employees come over to him, and the one giving him the Wii U explains that, yes, it's for real, and he can take it home. "This will be your Christmas present, the employee says."
