Chase's Pokemon Fan Club Fantasy

Went in to look for singles found actually what I wanted , tons of cards I wanted. Honestly brought about 300$ to spend and walked out with nothing cause when I started looking through them I asked the dude working the booth if I can just pull them out. Bro said “that depends” depends on what dude? They are 1-5$ cards, lmao was it cause the way I was dressed? Don’t judge an appearance I’ve never had to walk away from cards
