One Best Buy employee went out of his way to save R.O.B. the robot, Nintendo’s classic NES accessory, and put his job on the line in the process.

A customer intended to recycle of R.O.B. as well as a NES Deluxe Set through Best Buy’s “Renew Blue” program. Understanding the nostalgic and historic value of the item, the staffer had hopes of saving it. The problem came about when his manager warned him that he’d be fired if he took R.O.B. home.

Thankfully, R.O.B. is safe and is being moved to Best Buy’s headquarters rather than the scrapheap.

Best Buy spokesman Jon Sandler said:

“We are in the process of retrieving the robot and gaming system from the store so that we may put it on display here at our corporate headquarters in Richfield. A bit of nostalgia that our employees and visitors alike, are sure to enjoy!”

Best Buy senior specialist Jeremy Baier added:

“We recycle virtually any consumer electronic device out there, but as you can imagine an item like this is fairly unusual and we can see why it captivated our employee’s imagination.”

We don’t actually have a full resolution about this story. The employee’s fate is unclear, though he did not steal R.O.B. or the Wii U system. According to Business Insider, which reported on the situation, “Best Buy explained that it doesn’t publicly comment on its workers for privacy reasons, but did say that the sequence of events is currently being reviewed to ensure that the company’s policies were followed.”

Thanks to Captain N for the tip.
