	Despite being a major antagonist in Chris's eyes, Snyder was spared from being adapted into a Sonichu counterpart villain. This might have been because he didn't threaten the [[Love Quest]] or, more likely, [[Sonichu 11\|Sonichu went on hiatus]] some time before Chris began developing further antipathy towards the store manager.		Despite being a major antagonist in Chris's eyes, Snyder was spared from being adapted into a Sonichu counterpart villain. This might have been because he didn't threaten the [[Love Quest]] or, more likely, [[Sonichu 11\|Sonichu went on hiatus]] some time before Chris began developing further antipathy towards the store manager.

			He is also infamous for effectively [[Touching the Poop]] himself, dragging his store's name into further disrepute by taunting Chris back and interacting with his posts, rather than handling Chris' and his grievances outside of the public eye.

	'''Michael John "Mike" Snyder''' is one of [[Christian Weston Chandler\|Chris]]'s many enemies. He was the [[manajerk\|manager]] of [[The GAMe PLACe]] (later known as Cville's Hobbies, Games, and Toys), a [[video games\|game]] and [[Toys\|hobby]] store that was in [[Charlottesville]]. Chris regularly caused trouble at the PLACe and was eventually permabanned in June [[2008]]. Based on his surname, Chris came to the conclusion that Snyder was Jewish; "Snyder" is an alternative spelling of the German surname "Schneider", which often belongs to Ashkenazi Jews but is not specifically a Jewish-German surname, and can just connote German descent. Whether he is actually Jewish is not known~~; a YouTube comment from an account posing as him claims that he is not. However, there is no way for a layperson to confirm~~.
