How to do it
=============
There are 2 ways to do this, decide if you want to use your home phone or if you just want to use your computer.
---IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO USE YOUR ACTUAL PHONE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS---
Install skype from www.skype.com
Make an account on the skype program
Configure your microphone/headset via the skype audio options
From skype dial the number 1-800-GOOG-411 (you can just type letters into the skype dial text box and it will convert it to numbers)
When asked for a city and state, pick any moderately populated city and say its name into the microphone
When asked for a business name or category, say "Walmart", "Target", "Kmart", or any other big box retailer that IS NOT likely to know much about video games (DO NOT call video game specific stores like Gamestop)
The robot will then tell you a list of whatever store you chose
Wait until it says the name of whatever store, but MAKE SURE it isn't the pharmacy, optician, etc. (IE: Just "Walmart" or "Walmart Supercenter")
Say the number that corresponds to the store
The service will automatically dial the number for the store

---IF YOU ARE USING A HOME/CELL PHONE, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FROM HERE ON, IF YOU ARE USING SKYPE, SKIP TO THE NEXT SECTION---
Look up a phone number for a 'big box' retailer like Walmart, Kmart, Target, etc.
Make sure that the store employees are not likely to know much about video games (This will definitely not work on a Gamestop, etc.)
Call the store
---CONTINUE FROM HERE EITHER USING SKYPE OR A PHONE---
Ask for the electronics department
When the person picks up from electronics, make up a name, and tell them that's who you are and you are calling from (Insert games production studio here)
Tell them that you are calling them to inform them that there may have been a shipment of faulty serial keys for a PC game at their store (say the name of the game if you'd like), and you would like to do a quick check to make sure that their store did not get said shipment
If they tell you that they need their manager at this point, your chances are slimmed a bit, but not all hope is lost
In the event of them saying they need their manager, assure them that it is a quick and easy process and they can just do it themselves and its very easy to do and will only take 5 minutes
If they insist, get the manager on the phone, not all of them are so smart
If the manager gets on the phone, reintroduce yourself and the problem of faulty serial keys
Once they ask you what they need to do, tell them to go ahead and get a copy of the game off of the shelf (make sure to assert that its a PC game so they don't have to get it behind the glass like an xbox game)
Once they get the game off of the shelf, start small to make them comfortable, ask them for the UPC code
When they read the UPC code, tell them that UPC was likely to have been in the bad batch, and tell them that there's one more test to make absolutely sure
Tell them to open the box and try to find a separate piece of paper with a number printed on it labeled 'Serial key' or something along those lines
Tell them the serial key may also be printed on a sticker either outside or inside the CD case itself on the booklet inside
If they question what to do with the opened box (although you may want to say this anyways to make them feel better about it), tell them to put it in the returns bin with a note of some sort attached that says 'Serial test#3jd3' or something along those lines. This prevents the employee from resealing it and putting it back on the shelf, netting someone else your serial key
Tell them to read you that key (make fucking sure to read back to them what you have written down to make sure you didn't get letters mixed up, or just have the game open at a point where you can enter a key)
If they haven't hung up at this point, then congratulations, they have no idea what their store policy is and you get a free game
Also, tell them that the serial key is OK so they don't start questioning people about it, and remind them to put it in the return bin with the number on it that you made up

===HELPFUL TIPS===
Be polite to any person you talk to in the electronics department, ask them how they are doing today, etc.
Try to speak with as much authority as you can, but don't make it too obvious (ie; talking in a deeper voice that is obviously fake)
Don't fuck up your lines, make a script beforehand and just read it off if you have to, don't stutter or sound nervous
If they tell you that they absolutely will not open it, even after you assert that its easy and did the returns bin alibi, just hang up and try another one
This works for me within a few tries. If you don't get it the first time, don't give up, just try another. You are bound to run into a retard somewhere or another
