I saw a gamestop employee actively disuading someone from buying a move, telling them to wait for kinect instead. They got the move since that what they wanted, but I was amazed at how unprofessional the employee was.

On what planet does professionalism come at minimum wage? If Gamestop could, they would pay less than minimum wage, likely have fanboys volunteer for no pay. I quit a Gamestop seasonal job to spend more hours doing Hickory Farms seasonal booth work. They paid more and I got discounts on their food. The work was more enjoyable.... this coming from someone huge into games

Maybe professional is the wrong word, but some basic customer service would be nice

Time for hype

Yeah at my Gamestop (granted I have not been there in after Move release)

Me: hey so you guys are taking pre orders for Kienct and Move already huh?

GS: Yes we are

Me: so how is it? Is the dmand good

GS: Yeah Move pre orders are piling up and a lot of people are asking about it. Can't say the same for Kinect tho.

But it should be noted I think he hates Kinect overall, so his response miight be biased

Gamestop knows there are so many fanboys who want to pitch their systems of choice that they pay minimum wage for a reason. Downside is YMMV opinions depending on the Gamestop.

Yep exactly, and they also try to sell some random crap game too thinking you have no clue about gaming. Once at the same GS, an employer (she was new) tried to pitch me and a friend of mine to buy NFS Shift saying it's an amazing game which is a must have :S...the manager is pretty chill tho so if I ever take someone serious it would be her. But yea overall GS sucks if you go in there without an idea of what you want

its definently wrong for him to push his own opinions like that on a consumer if i was his manager id fire him, since the goal of retail is to sell ur product regardless of what it is lol. however this shouldnt be a complaint about gamestop, seeing as how this conversation had nothing to do with gamestop, you merely ran into an idiot who worked for gamestop. there are many idiots in the world and they work for a variety of companies.
