Epic Showdown: Two Grown Men Battle It Out for First Place at Pokémon Vending Machine!

A recent Pokémon card restock at 10 a.m. escalated into chaos in a store. Two men were caught on camera arguing loudly and pushing each other in front of a card vending machine. The clip quickly gained traction on social media platforms like TikTok.

On March 5, TikTok user Yoc9Official shared a video showing him attempting to buy cards from the vending machine after it was restocked in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the video, another man in a black hoodie tried to push past him to grab the cards first.

According to Yoc9Official, the altercation became physical and was filmed by a bystander. He later shared it online. In a follow-up video, Yoc9Official can be heard discussing the situation with what looks like a store employee. This led to comments about the man’s behavior, with accusations flying about his claim of being “in line” from his car.

Yoc9Official stated that the police were called and that the other man pretended to be hurt as officers arrived. He also mentioned he declined to press charges.

Even though the details remain unverified, the whole incident has sparked outrage online. Many people are baffled and disturbed that adults would fight over cards primarily enjoyed by kids. Some speculate that both men were flipping cards for profit, heightening the frustration among viewers.

One Twitter user expressed disappointment, reminiscing about simpler times when trading cards with friends was all about fun, not conflict. They conveyed sadness over how the hobby has changed for the worse.

Recently, the demand for Pokémon cards has surged. This has caused supply shortages, resulting in clashes among collectors and even thefts in stores. Rare cards are now selling for astronomical prices online.
