>person behind the counter says yes, we have one left in stock
>starts to ring me up
>would you like to become a rewards member for $15/year
>tell him no
>you would like to purchase the insurance on this game
>tell him no
>are you sure? It sounds pretty loose in there
>proceeds to shake the game box

I told him to cancel the purchase and that gamestop has lost a costumer for good. If the game wasn't scratched before not purchasing the insurance I'm not going to risk buying the game now that some faggot was shaking it trying to prove it was loose.

Ill tell you tomorrow, when iam gonna start my 2nd wave of pre orders of the year

Stop pre-ordering videogames.

>Go to Gamestop to pre-order Splatoon 2
>Guy says hello
>Tell him I want to pre-order Splatoon 2
>We chat a bit about the Nintendo Switch, sharing some experience we had with Zelda
>Get pre-order all set
>Leave the store with no issues

I really don't get the whole "FUCKING GAMESTOP" stories. Every time I've gone there, it's been fine.

>go to fucking gamestop

Good shit, cheap game.

>get in store
>ask if they had botw for wii u
>they had one left
>said I will take it
>paid for it
>leave the store

I've never had a problem with the employees. I have however had to wait for fucking ever behind a few idiots because theres only ever one guy working.

>CTR
0.02$ has been deposited into your account

I don't understand why people still shop at gamestop. There are so many better options. Like Best Buy and Amazon both have 20% off discount programs. Want to buy used? Look on eBay. Want to sell? eBay.

I mean they're closing tons of stores so it's obvious they're going out of business, but you few idiots who still actually shop there are prolonging a very painful demise

Crash Team Racing has shills?

Pretty good time

It's the exact same story in other countries too. Like, take Australia for instance. JB Hifi sells most games at least 10 dollars cheaper, even on release. Target sells games on the cheap too (occasionally in questionable ways, Yakuza 0 was $60 AUD on release there despite it being $60 USD overseas)

Is it because EB Games/Gamestop offer a rewards program or something? Can't get my head around it.

>told him to cancel the purchase and that gamestop has lost a costumer for good

Wow you sure showed him. Might as well have told a walmart cashier you weren't going to buy their produce anymore. Their face when

spot the GS employees.
it's never that simple. you are forced to ask a bunch of dumb questions trying to sell us shit that you KNOW nobody fucking wants.

>Is it because EB Games/Gamestop offer a rewards program or something? Can't get my head around it.
I think people with autism just feel like they have to go to a video game store to buy video games

S-sauce?

It's been a few months since then, I was looking for a few games for my ps3, found a few , made a list, avoided eye contact with the girl behind the cash register and went home to buy them off e-bay for a third of the price (why do they charge 30€ for a God of War game when on e-bay I can get it for 10?)

>spot the GS employee

I swear if someone recommended ice cream here you'd spot a Baskin & Robbin's cashier

>bought Hitman online over the holidays because they screwed up their pricing and if you bought episode 1 + the season pass separately it was like $20
>my credit card info gets stolen
>some jackass in Phoenix triggers a fraud alert and my card gets shut down

Fuck Gamestop

It's in her pants.

>Realize I have an Xbox 360 sitting around the house, notice I need an HDMI cable because my old shit doesn't work on my new TV.
>Go down to gamestop, wait patiently at the counter while Cashier is talking about the new Assassins Creed revealed at E3
>After a good 20 minutes he finally stops, I ask him if he has any Xbox 360 HDMI cables.

>Cute girl behind me is standing there with a nintendo switch game, 1,2,3,Switch I think. There's like 4 Switch games.
>Open to find my wallet.
>Swoosh past all the spaghetti to reach down deep.
>She asks why it's taking so long, realize I left my wallet at home.
>I drove all the way here without my wallet, and thus, my drivers license.

>Say I need to be back real quick, slam open the door.
>get on the floor
>everybody walk the dinosaur

Pomodoro most likely

cheese

Idk doesn't look like carbonara or Bolognese to me

That's pretty hot. I'd eat it.

well no one is going to blatantly lie and try to make gamestop look good on the internet besides someone who works there

Cancelled my preorder that originally was on Sun/Moon when they gave extra trade in credit for just it, they let me move the preorder twice though before I cancelled so I basically just used it as a way to get more trade in credit for free.

fake and gay

how did his post make gs look remotely "good" you fucking retard

Who actually goes to gamestops anymore? Like seriously? The last time I went was to pick up GTA V when it came out for the 360. I went there a couple months ago and it's pretty much just a Hot Topic now. I don't mean that literally, I mean that there's practically more merchandise than games at all.

Do they even have demo booths anymore? The one local to me doesn't have any which just kills any chance of me going there again.

When those faggots jobs literally depend on sales, no it isn't like a fucking WalMart cashier.
It isn't fake, it literally happened

>Go to game stop to sell Mgs5 and Arkham origins (Origins sucked ass and I really hated how Mgs5 turned out)
>Dude behind counter won't let me sell them back because mgs5 just came out a week ago and and it's apparently against store policy
>tell him that I bought it when it released and it was not new
>didn't be live me and told me that I could only get 4 fucking dollars for Origins
>leave and go across the street to 2nd and Charles because you can also sell games there
>get 35 bucks for both the games and walk out with a copy of DKC 3 still inside the box
>the game stop there went out of business last year because the other store stole its customers and sold old games for cheap
I really hope more 2nd and Charles pop up and put that shit company out of business

all hdmi cables are the same you retard

he tried to make it look like the cashiers aren't forced to hassle you into buying tons of worthless crap.
try reading the posts next time, champ.

I got some old green texts

>Browsing in gamestop
>Random autistic man comes up beside me and asks if I play sonic games.
>Decide to be nice
>"Uh, well used to when I was younger"
>"You should get sonic generations! it's sooo good"
>Oh, okay, maybe I will..."
>Walk away from him, only to be followed around the store until I decide to leave.
>He follows me out of the store
>I start walking away faster
>he begins to pick up his speed to keep up with me
>I eventually start speed walking
>I turn around to see him beginning to hunch forward with his arms extended horizontal behind his back like sonic
>"N-no!" I cry as I began to run at full speed
>"sooooonic....sooooonic! SOOOOONIC!!" he begins to chant as he chases me to the mall exit.
>I bust through the doors and run to my car

To this day I fear that he's still chasing me . It's only a matter of time before he catches up.

>buy omega quintet, neps, and miku on Amazon
>no one knows my shame
Prime master race

I dunno either
But the atmosphere, the employees that you talk with(unless you're in a shitty gamestop) are pretty nice once in a while.
if you're a regular, they wont really ask you about the protection plan anyways.
But still.. FUCKING GAMESTOP
>Go to gamestop
>buy some m18 game (i think its daganronpa)
>asks for my id
>shit i cant find my license
>gave him my license from another country
>hmmm, never seen this one before user
>uhh yeahh, its from another country, and it says there too. sorry
>alrighty then user thats 63.95 USD
>payed him and went out
>fucking found my USA license inbetween 2 cards
MOTHER FUCKING GAMESTOP!

When I got project diva X the guy tried to sell me some nep game, told him that was pointless because they're on steam and i was only in a store because miku never will be.

>eating the frozen churned jew

>Hanging out with a friend

>"No, thanks"

I might have a problem.

Picked up Arms for the switch. Asked them how their stock was doing
>"Every time we got stock theres a line outside the door. It sells out instantly"
Glad I preordered mine.

is there a name for this fetish? watching women shove spaghetti in their pants and/or vagina?

>Gamestop Store Leader
>Get associates to treat customers like fucking people
>try my best to not force shit on them
>get tons of new customers because they heard our store is laid back
>head sales in our district every single week because people like our store

%s are great too. This company is going bankrupt in 2 years so I'll be abandoning ship here soon once I get conference freebies. But I might wait until WWE 2k18 launches because I have the local indy wrestlers set up a ring and do a full show during the midnight. Shit's tight.

>Hi, welcome to Gamestop
>uuhh...i need a wired 360 controller
>ok, that will be $14.99
>Do you want to sign up fo-
>no
>ok sir have a nice day

Game stop is doing bad? Why is it going Bankrupt when it has no competion?

>>go in to buy Toukiden 2
What a faggot

Walked in to see if they had anything I liked they didn't so I left.

Went there today
>Have a bunch of old games lying around and i want to trade them in to save some money on the special edition of Metroid Samus Returns
>Most of my 360 games have become free on the xbox one or i got the remasters so i get most of them
>Grab a bunch of Wii games i barely pay
>Grab DS games i dont play either
>Go to the gamestop and put the 5 dollars down to preorder
>Trade in everything
>"Alright sir you saved 13$ and the 5$ you put down"
>Surprised i actually saved more than 10$
>But is handed back 3 games and told "we can't sell these"
Now i must wait till September 15th.

You don't like good games user?

>Ninja Gaiden 32

wowee tht sure is lotta ninja game

>See they have 8 Switch boxes in the window for $299
>"Hey what brings you in"
>Might want to get a Switch
>"Alright we only sell a $500 bundle online that ships to your house"
>Okay, bye
Does the bundle not come with the box? Or does Gamestop just buy a bunch of empty Switch boxes??

There's a lot of reasons. Heads of company are fucking morons and are so out of touch with the gaming industry and are more interested in funding a Nascar driver because the CEO fucking loves racing. Wasted money on Cricket Wireless, same with Think Geek.
They've driven away their target audience because of years and years of shitty business practices and trying to become everything EXCEPT a simple fucking video game hobby shop.
And now we are about to become Blockbuster.
Yeah, fuck this company.

>it has no competion?
Just about every store sells video games, and usually at better prices than Gamestop. Their sole bread and butter is used games sales. If it wasn't for ripping people off and giving them pennies on the dollar to flip used games, they'd already be out of business

>got a $30 giftcard from my sister for my birthday
>Persona 5 had came out about three weeks earlier
>go to my local store
>they're sold out of it despite having a massive banner for it outside the store and on the wall in the store
>ask if he'll call the nearby location and see if they have it
>he says they can't because that store closed
>called the nearest one which is over 20 minutes away
>they say they have a copy and will hold it for me
>drive all the way over
>they lied on the phone and also don't have a copy
>the only way I can get one is to have it shipped
>I would just walk the fuck out at this point and never return but I have that stupid gift card which is the only reason I went this far
>have them ship it to me
>shipping is $15
>they refuse to waive it even after sending me on a goose chase and being sold out at two stores
>have to spend and extra $15 to use my $30 giftcard

FUCKING GAMESTOP
I had given up on them many years ago and normally wouldn't shop there this just reminded me why.

Why didn't you ask about the signs out front?

I can't fathom why you decided to save that greentext, let alone type it out in the first place.

>when it has no competion?

Online sales are competition user.

Box is sent by Nintendo for marketing purposes.
Switch bundles are bullshit, I know. Pretty sure it's just the company taking advantage of people who are desperate. Only stores that make the most money are getting actual Switches in store so you'll have to check stores in big cities if you want to try and walk in to get one.

>no competion?
Wal Mart
Best Buy
Amazon

Woah woah, let's not get crazy, I already hit my max social interaction for the day.

>trying to become everything EXCEPT a simple fucking video game hobby shop.
>My face when they made us make our pop/loot section 10 feet long right at the front of the store

FUCKING CRASH TEAM RACING SHILLS GET OFF OF MY SITE
THIS IS A DIDDY KONG RACING ONLY ZONE

>Go to buy Atelier Meruru
>Cashier never heard of it
>Asks the manager
>Fat bald guy with moustache
>He checks the back room while I wait
>Comes back out
>His face is as red as a tomato
>"Get out of my store, kid fiddler."

Looks like it's time to start mail ordering.

you're an idiot it says ninja gaiden E2
that's because they announced it at E2 last year
everyone expected them to announce ninja gaiden at E3 this year but they didn't so it's probably the end of that series unless they skip a number like windows and announce a new ninja gaiden during E4

Our store is the biggest one in our state because it used to be some high volume "&Movies" store when we did that, so literally HALF of my fucking store is filled with all of that bullshit that we NEVER FUCKING SELL

>Go in one final time because I have Amazon Prime because of school and I'm going to stop going to gamestop because they're fucking awful and becoming a "le SUCH A NERD" shithole
>Pick up my copy of Stormblood
>Despite pre-ordering it day one I didn't get my pre-order codes or bonuses, didn't get that sweet cloth poster either
>Cancel my Splatoon 2 preorder because I'm gonna get it through amazon instead for that sweet, sweet, sweet 20% off
>Neckbeard cashier starts giving me shit about being a mature games for mature gamers such as myself or some shit, I literally sit there like "just give me my game and leave me alone you fuck"
>Bought a neat steelbook for Axiom Verge because it was on clearance
>The code was already redeemed when I got home

Three fuckups in one go. I'm glad I'm leaving that shithole behind.

Last time I went to gamestop I was browsing for Wii U games, the last time I bought something everything turned out better then expected.

Its a buy 2 get 1 free sale at gamestop, me and 3 other guys spend like $300 collectively, did the whole power point thing for $15, reducing the price by $30 and got a shit ton of those phony point things. Good day.

He's not wrong

>game employee for 2-3 years
>everybody there treated all customer respectfully
>even the usual turbo-spergos
>still, sometimes they over-sperg so much they start dropping spaghetti all over the place no matter how hard you tried to avoid the situation
it's as embarrassing for the employee, trust me

I was asked once for my ID after trying to buy one a gift card for PSN. I'm 19 and usually never get asked for my ID which is why I don't carry it with me. I haven't bothered to go get an ID card yet so whenever I do decide to carry some as a precaution I use my passport, which is a last resort and somewhat embarrassing thing to do in my opinion.
Anyway, the girl working the counter had a real passive aggressive attitude about it. I don't know why, but we've exchanged looks alot the times I was there (Feel like an arrogant cunt writing that down but oh well), and I've noticed her looking at me alot in general. I should have informed her of the fact that I look older than her.
She let me off the hook but told me really aggressively to have it on me next time I come in.
I grew a beard at fucking 12, had my own bank card, wallet, and everything.
Don't remember if I was clean shaven when I walked in, though.

>amazon will kill gamestop

I worked at a Walmart esque store. This dude was losing his shit, finally he said I'll just go to a different store if you aren't willing to help me. I just said"cool less work for me you'll probably get a good deal seems like a win win homie".

It's not like we get a fucking cut.

There is way more markup (and profit) in shitty plastic toys and other 'nerdy' knick-knacks than actual video games.

I remember like 10 years ago when GS/EB got out of figurines and DVDs because they wanted to focus more on games lol

>go to gamestop
>man comes in with a mask and gun yelling for everyone to get down
>shoves all the games on display into a bag and runs off
>teller too stupid to find game I'm after in the system and the case is obviously gone
>walk off angrily
>decide to rob the place
>run in with mask and gun while telling everyone to get down
>all the games are back on display and I see myself
>must have accidentally walked into a time portal
>steal all the game cases on display to avoid creating a paradox
fuck gamestop

just as bad as godeater to be honest with you. the boring open world might actually make it worse then godeater, actually

>games not in alphabetical order

That sounds fucking crazy, even the EB Games in Australia don't do that shit.

Left with nothing because there were no deals that weren't better somwhere else, I don't buy funko pops and there is a dedicated magic the gathering store nearby.

Buying used games is dumb as hell. Any good old exclusive title is going to be expensive as hell. Then when you actually get it you are playing russian roulette since the disgusting previous owner got it fatally scratched or damaged. I just save the headache and buy new or digital.

Propping up the secondary market just reinforces console exclusives in the long run anyway...

Where's the blatant lie

Oh you uploaded a picture of a game you own that totally proves you said those edgy things user.

>chatting with a cashier
Why

>go to GameStop to buy a copy of arms

>"Yea hi" I respond
>"What would you like today?"
>"One copy of ARMS... For the Nintendo switch"
>"Oh the switch! Did you know Skyrim is coming to switch? Of course you did, I'll put you down for one pre order paid in full"
>"No I just want AR-"
>"Too late, already done. That'll be $129.68 after tax, plus tip"
>Begrudgingly hand him $135

gamestop

I got MGS4 for a buck lol. Used games are great, especially when they're on clearance. I never go over 10 bucks on a used game. Only time I've ever bought used and it didn't work was a single copy of Melee.
