It can be difficult to break into stores before they open, especially when you're short on time. If possible, plan ahead and mark your calendar with the store's opening time. You can also purchase gift cards in advance and wait until the last minute to pick them up from the store or have them delivered directly to your doorstep. 
You can also find special cases or hiding spots where employees keep their extra stock of products for emergency orders or last-minute shoppers, called "spacers". Ask an employee if you can look behind items or ask if you may search around for something hidden; most times it will work. It’s also not unheard of for people to make their way backstage so they may rummage around boxes and bins of recently received products without being noticed - again, never hesitate to ask!

Store owners generally lock video game cases for security purposes. Typically, they provide an age requirement to purchase games, so the best way to get around this would be to provide them with a valid form of ID that proves your son is the right age. Alternatively, you can check what systems are included in the game and look for similar ones you can purchase separately. Make sure to read over any return and exchange policies beforehand as well.
