Do Gamestop Employees Even Play Games?

Ok this is alittle funny incident that just happened to me 10 mins ago when i called my local Gamestop. So you guys know that Nintendo is offering a limited edition of LOZ: Wind Waker HD that comes with a figure of Ganondorf inside but the catch is it goes from $49.99 to $59.99 (even though Nintendo listed the price at $44.99.... yep Gamestop is at it again) and is only available through Gamestop. So i call my local Gamestop to ask about it, everything is going good but as the conversation goes on he asks for my number so he can look up my account then he does the unthinkable...

 

[Him] "Whats the name of the game?" [Me] "Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD [Him] " For which system did you want to preorder this on?"  [Me] "Its a Zelda game brother" [Him] "Yeah you said that and for which console did you want it on? Playstation, Xbox or Nintendo? (yes he said Nintendo not Wii U) [Me] "..........Hangs up" LOL

 

I found this very odd yet funny at the same time, its amazing that your job is to sell games and have a basic knowledge of them as well yet you ask me if i wanna preorder a LOZ game for the Xbox One or PS4.

 

On end note i will be going down there to preorder it in person when i go to check out their B2G1F offer in a few mins :D

I have wondered this myself many times.
My hunch is NO. No they probably don't.
Just some random clerks looking for a job any job & Gamestop hires them.

I have never forgiven that crap store for replacing my Rhino's all those years ago!
Now Rhino's was run by gamers. At least the one in my town was.
The store might have had the slight aroma of body funk but that shop was a gamer's paradise!

I hate Gamestop. Always have, always will.
I only go there as a last resort if I go there at all.

P.S.: Can't believe this jabroni actually asked you what system Zelda was on. God!
