Best Buy employees chip in to buy WiiU for boy who played on store model daily

Best Buy employees in Long Island noticed a boy who came every day to play on the store's WiiU - and ended up buying him his own console.

A video posted on YouTube shows an employee at the Valley Stream, New York store walking up to the boy and handing him a brand-new WiiU in a box, Daily Mail reports.

"On behalf of all of us here at Best Buy, we got you a WiiU so you don't have to come here every day to play," the employee told the boy.

The worker showed the boy the receipt, telling him he would walk out with him. The console, sold at Best Buy as part of a set that also includes a Mario Kart game, is worth $300 (NZ$417).

The man who uploaded the video, Rahiem Storr, said he was a manager at Best Buy.

His clip, shared last week, shows a Best Buy employee walking up to the young customer, who was playing with the free WiiU.

"This is something we did for you. Everyone here that you see, we all got together and chipped in so you could have it," the employee told the boy.

But the young customer seemed taken aback by the act of kindness and didn't quite dare grab the box.

"No for real, this is for you," the employee said, telling him it would be an early Christmas present.

The boy, according to Storr, has two "very loving" parents who couldn't afford to buy him a WiiU.

He eventually accepted the gift and workers gave him a ride home.
