Exactly as it is written out. Dashes and all.

well crap! The store gave me a broken card! I've tried every possible format of writing the code even adding a space between 2 letters i thought there could be

Zeros instead of Os, 1 instead of i, that sort of thing?

do the numbers and letters look the same on the steam code?

I honestly can not tell if they do for you but looking over some of my humble keys i see no ones, and no Os. So just letter i and number zero.

I have been informed that the lady who served us didn't even activate the card, it just threw it into the bag

This is something you need to complain to that store's management about, because every single employee at any store carrying ANY cards like these MUST know how to activate them, and absolutely must know that they have to do it every single time... wow.

I know it was pretty disappointing to find out, I was hoping to buy Shadow of Mordor as i am a HUGE fan of Lord of the Rings, and was looking forward to playing it today when i bought it, but now i can't cause of what happened with the card

Then your "brother" needs to get on that, and make sure his employees are better trained. Because guaranteed: this has happened to every person that checker has helped.

I dunno if he's allowed to yet, he only just became management so he's probably still in training

You dont need to write dashes and also no lower/higher case.
So for example the code XD45R-GFT51-RSD34 can be typed in xd45rgft51rsd34 and Steam will accept it just fine.

Its just important that its a 15 character code, formed out of letters and numbers.
