			Chris was given a two-week ban from the store on 4 April 2008, when he went into the store's back room to grab a box of items for the ''Pokemon'' card game without permission (though Mike was admittedly looking for any reason to ban him, as his poor behavior was scaring customers away). Eventually, this ban was upgraded to a permanent one that August, when he got into a loud fit of rage with a [[black]] kid he was playing a game with.
