Yea "cop" as in "buy," or "copped" as in "bought." So in other words "easy buy"
I think people use the term "easy cop" too freely these days.
Easy cop for me would be to walk into a store on an unplanned day, take a look at what's on the shelves, try them on, think about it for a little bit, pay, and walk out of the store with no issues.
But for launch products these days...? Going around 1-2 weeks before release looking for multiple raffle tickets at different locations during weekdays (or camping for hours just to get a ticket that might get you your size), dealing with corrupt workers who lie through their teeth, having your phone glued to your hip waiting for that call, waking up at 5am (in the west coast) and fight other computers from all over the nation, waiting for hours just to cart your shoe, then wait again to pay... That's not an "easy cop"... it's a battle in a sense: planning out your attacks, strategies, back up plans...
Sure, pay the extra fee for an ATC or bot, but that's just not my thing coming from an "old sneakerhead." Money not spent on shoes is money for other utilities.
It's become hassle. Yet we all come back and repeat the process release after release.
