Once again.. Im not a counter monkey at gamestop..terrene said:So as long as we're trading stereotypes, douchebags who sell RPG strategy guides for a living aren't exactly Living La Vida Loca.
usux go watch some naruto filler
SaggyMonkey said:If you end up in Orange County, I'll show you at least two. (and am aware of others, but tend to stick to the two closest ones)
But in general, continuing to go to Gamestop reinforces on a corporate level that their employee behavior works. (for ex. asking if i have trade-ins, if i'm holding no bag, box, anything... where does he think i keep them?) If you don't have locals, hit-up Target or something.

:lolSaggyMonkey said:(fixed)
No, stop shopping there! It's easy. The pre-order thing isn't the only thing that annoys me, but making big lists also annoys me.

the.tutelary said:Just reply "I like to keep my games" or something similar and be done with it.
the.tutelary said:privately owned stores just arent very numerous, regardless of your location. Its not like that in the rest of the country, I can assure you. As stated "they arent getting rich off it". People enter business to make money, and good money, a gaming store is not an worthwhile establishment for a individual to open.
SaggyMonkey said:All the more reason to support the ones you find!
Dracula said:yeah, and best buy employees just ignore you altogether.
bdoughty said:* Put the freaking game box back where you found it. Were some of you raised in a barn?
Come say it to our faces next time we step into your sorry store instead of shoving used shit down our throats.bdoughty said:Whine whine whine
border said:Some people deserve condescending treatment.
Juice said:In my experience, people raised in barns are far more likely to come from traditional conservative farming families, and as a result more--not less--likely to be courteous in such dealings.
Wafflecopter said:Yes, the people who are bitching about customers.
SaggyMonkey said:That's the way it should be at big stores! When it comes to games, I don't need any of their information or their opinion.
Zyid said:Come say it to our faces next time we step into your sorry store instead of shoving used shit down our throats.
neojubei said:WRONG. Work doing customer service for a while. If sucks ass every ****ing day.
bdoughty said:Ahh RPG guy who shops online because of that whole girls/cooties scare. I feel you man. Stepping outside is not for everyone. God bless e-commerce and the people who sell Magic the Gathering cards online.
AniHawk said:Another requirement should be to SPEAK ENGLISH.
A Chinese woman came into the store today and tried to haggle with me on the prices of games.
Me: Uh, that's 15 dollars.
Her, covering the ".99" part of the price tag: 14.
Me: Uh. FIFteen.
Her: 14. *picks up another game.* 7?
Me: EIGHT.
It went on like that for a while. I was being as polite as possible, but I was surprised she was actually trying to talk down the price. Eventually she picked out four games that totalled to $25 or something because apparently the price stickers were old.
Shogun said:I find it odd you would be so openly hostile to the one guy who wasn't openly hostile to you at the start. As for the topic, I think people over react to all the shit at gamestop like being asked questions, but when it comes to gutted copies it's mainly that if a person doesn't catch that, they are purchasing something for more than it's worth, and thats worth complaining about. And it's not a viable excuse to say that your boss makes you do it so don't get angry at you, you are employed at will, you decided this is the job you wanted to do, and you can quit at will, continued employment is implicit consent, so I have no sympathy.
That argument doesn't work for telemarketers, it doesn't work for you.
Suikoguy said:It's common in other countries, I used to see it a lot when I worked in gamestop.
Just say we don't haggle... of course that does not always work :lol
Wafflecopter said:Stop crying
Or I was referring to the collective customers who tolerate you retail dickheads long enough to get a game - no I would not like a subscription to your ****ing magazine, no I would not like to trade in any used games, give me my product and stfu?bdoughty said:OUR? As in you are part of a crew of people?
Yea I can just see that.
Can your "possy" put down their GBA's long enough to hear me say it to your faces?
If being asked to if you want to trade in any games is how you define "misery", you must lead a pretty charmed life. I don't see how Best Buy is that much better, given that if they're not trying to sell you a product replacement plan, they're pushing their Rewards program.zabuni said:Just because corporate tells you to ask every single damn time whether a person has any games to trade in does not make it any less of an example of being a dick. If your job is a source of misery to this many people, shouldn't you get another job?

Thanks.
You get 'em chief.moku said:If I knew what store you worked in, I would come to you like the Anti-Christ, only to destroy you.
I would first call and want prices on all my games, and movies.
You and I both know it won't be :lolAniHawk said:RevenantKioku's most recent post should be the end of the thread.
neojubei said:i guess some of the assholes i've spoken about also post here. who da thunk.
I guess I do not enjoy being an asshole to someone doing their job. I only become one if i know some store/clerk.manager is trying to rip me off, being rude, or not helping me, if i do need some. Then again, I am the kind of person that walks into a store because I already know what i want to buy and i get it and leave.

It would seem that you want some as well.Billy Rygar said:You get 'em chief.
It's "posse".bdoughty said:Can your "possy" put down their GBA's long enough to hear me say it to your faces?
neojubei said:someone should just lock this thread, its just going to get ugly in here.
:lol :lol :lolmoku said:It would seem that you want some as well.
I hate how the girls there give me this corny "You must be crazy if you don't want a free magazine!" look.zabuni said:I never said they were better. In fact, the magazine crap that Best Buy pulls is much worse than anything game stores pull. That's outright deception.
