Forums - General Discussion - Gamestop, home of the douche bags!

I'm not trying to overgeneralize each Gamestop. The one near my work has been a friendly, well stocked, and has given an overall pleasant experience everytime. Yet today I went to go get Phantasy Star 0 for DS at a Gamestop closer to me (big mistake). Btw, you ALL need to pick up PS0.

So I enter the store.... wait about 2 min while these other guys TALK about nonsense before assiting me in their messy front counter store.

Me - "Hi, do you have PS0 for DS?"

Douchebag employee - "Do you have a reservation??"

Me- "No."

GS- "Well idkkkkkkk, let me check *does a big exhale*" (like I was killing him asking a question).

So after he looks, he finally finds one in stock. Yet to his "surprise", it's not up front. So him and another fat employee aruge over who is going to the back to search for it. Now, I understand people have bad days. I really do. I was sick to begin with, so I was in no mood to argue over something so trivial. Yet is it that hard to walk 20 feet the back room for a paying customer? It was probably the most exercise he got the whole day... maybe even week?

So I get that, and some Star Wars stylus that included skins and a protective casing for my DS.

Walked out... and said to myself, "This is why I never go here." I wouldn't have gone there, yet it was the only one that had it in stock online.

Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Yeah i went to go get Dragon Age:Origins and he got the only pc version out of 10 Xbox 360 versions next to it, five more minutes. When he got it my mom already left the store. I then asked for Forza III instead. Then it took 5 minutes to get Forza 3.

Yeah. I was going to ask for the guide for it too, yet damn... I just wanted to get out of there at that point.

Mine is good since they are informed gamers who like all games. Fun people to talk to except the few times I get the one who thinks if you don't kill someone every 10 seconds the game sucks. Sadly those are his words...Mabye I just like them since they made sure I got a Scriblenauts hat since I was one of the 20 preorders only 20 hats...



Former something....

I went to GameStop looking for it to and the guy was like, we don't have it but we do have Modern Warfare 2 for PS3/360. The guy was helpful in tracking down a copy for me :D



I once thought about going to a Gamestop but then didn't.



Worst experience I had was when nobody brought Forza 3 out of the back at like 10 in the morning. Had to wait 5 minutes for the guy to find it, then it takes him 10 minutes to ring me up on the computer, because apparently the credit card reader wasn't responding.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

The EB Games (Canada's version of GS) near me is actually really good. My friend works there and the other guys are nice too.



Here's something to laugh at, straight from the Gamestop website.  I was looking up No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, take a look:

NMHDS

Look at the screenshots and see if you notice anything odd.



Kingdom Hearts 3 Bet: If Kingdom Hearts 3 becomes a multiplaform title/is not Wii exclusive then I will be banished from this land for 1 week and sing my praises to those who have proved themselves to be more intelligent than I.http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/RDBRaptor/rdbraptor_sig16.jpg%5B/IMG%5D">
