I'm very curious to know where these people are breeded.

I feel like if they were dissected we would find a new breed of human being. perhaps half human/half pokemon/half manbearpig

What kind of breeds are found in gamestops near you?

are they the: (this one happened to my friend)

customer: hello i want to buy a 360.

gamestop employee: you should buy a ps3 because the 360 has a high failure rate and the ps3 is better

customer: but i want a 360 because all my friends have it. if i wanted a ps3 i would have said "I want a ps3"

or how about: (this one happens way too much)

gamestop employee: would you like to buy the strategy guide?

customer: no thanks

gamestop employee: are you sure its %20 off because you bought the game

customer: no

gamestop employee: are you sure?

customer: yes

gamestop employee: yes you will buy it?

customer: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

---they always push the damn strategy guide on you and the same goes for game reserves

---I understand trying to make a sale but they dont seem to give up

***---Also I want to point out that most of these employees never seem to shower at all. they all have that natural slick back hair gel that

seems to form after not showering for weeks.  They don't have dandruff on their shoulders because it sticks to their greasy heads.

---and there's always a female employee there that seems like she would be hot if she wasn't emo or 300 pounds

---is anyone here familiar with the battletoads prank?  friggin hilarious as it turns the tables on gamestop employees excessive nagging and nags them. and none of them know how to take a joke. why? sexual repression, lack of red meat, and having six toes on each foot (yes i said six toes as this is part of the gamestop employee breeding mutation)

***plz dont ban me for this thread its meant as a joke and only targets a minorty (lies) of gamestop employees

Some of them are retards but i bought a game from 1 that actually seemed intelligent but it's hard to tell from a simple purchase.

Example of being retards.
Me calling them,"Do you have LBP:GOTY in stock?"
Gamestop Employee: Yes

I get there 15 minutes later and they say we have none in stock. I am like WTF.
They call the gamestop in the mall and they actually have 1 in stock. (This was the intelligent gamestop employee)

I liked the old stores better. Never had a problem with a Babbage's or an old (pre-GameStop) EB Games employee. I feel like the troubles began when GS acquired everything and all the stores began to homogenize.
I don't think every store has difficult employees, just there is this air of superiority when it comes to their stores.

I also usually go into the store knowing exactly what I am looking for and what my price is, so they can't simply pull my leg about something I don't agree with.

Best experience: Went into a store, it was busy, but the employee on the floor was happy to answer my questions and helped me get the game I was looking for.

Worst experience: Went to get AC: for Answer and DeadSpace for PS3 in 2008. Their copy of AC was the last one (the shelf copy) so they had to give me the box off the shelf with all the nasty tags stuck to it (wish i just didn't get it) and the employee put the game in. I went back up to college the next day and when I took the game out to play it, I found out she put in AC4. THE WRONG GAME. I had to ship it back home and get my dad to go in and replace it for me. I haven't gone back to that store since then.

The vast majority of them are people who just want a job. Gamestop hired them. They do their best but they don't know as much as we want them to. On top of that, they have to push additional sale items (peripherals, subscriptions, used games, etc.)

There is also the obligatory hot girl. She is usually geeky hot! I'd marry one of those gamer geek chicks (they are pretty hot) but being in an environment where they are the only female for hours and hours tends to give them HUGE egos.

And lastly there is that one guy who is a little too enthusiastic about gaming. He has the knowledge we crave but he doesn't exactly have social skills. There's one in 2/3 Gamestops that I go to.

Yeah, I avoid that store like the plague, Id rather buy my shit and get in and out with no one assuming that I would like to order Halo Reach. Heres my funny story.


Me:Hey, do guys have Blood Bowl for PC?
GS:Hold on a minute*spends 2 minutes looking at computer*.......uh what game?
Me:Blood Bowl, for PC.
GS:*Spends another minute on computer*.......Sorry, I never even heard of it*looks at other employees.* You guys ever heard of........whats the name of that game?
Me:Blood Bowl, its like a mix of Warhammer and Football, kind of like the Mutant League games.
Other GS employee: Oh that one, we have it for XBOX is that what you want?
Me:No, Im looking for the PC version......but nevermind, can you check for Pinballs Greatest hits for the XBOX.
GS:*spends 2 minutes looking at computer*....????Um you were looking for Black College Football Experience, right?

I pretty much gave up after that.

That's hilarious!!

@ CDiablo

lol it sounds like that south park with the people from the future where stan is like "i want a cheeseburger and fries" and the goobacks are like "chicken sandwich?"

the people at my local gamestop are pretty knowledgeable when it comes to games and are geeks themselves, hell me and them are always goofing off and talking about games and shit its a blast at the gamestop i go to.

There's also a very rare species of Gamestop employees:

They don't give a shit and just sell the game.

Apparently I'm the only one who sights them.
