I'll start
I went into GS to get a copy of Doom 3 BFG for the 360.
Had $45 cash in hand, literally
Asked the guy for a copy and he says, "sorry, we only have reservation copies only"
I asked why such a specialty store cant stock such a game, its not rare
He said "nobody will have them unless you reserved, they did not print alot"
I called him on his BS and called Best buy and put them on speaker phone
Asked gaming clerk if they had copies, she replied, "we have about 20"
Asked if they were for reservation only, to which she replied, "nope, you can walk right in and get one"
Said thanks, hung up the phone and walked out of the store with my money in the air and staring down the employee
But it wasn't his fault
>try to buy game
>there's a girl
>spaghetti fall out of my pocket
>shit myself
Why do managers at gamestop hire so many girls if they result in decreased business from virgin beta cuckolds? Like, do they at least molest them to make the loss of business worth it?
>walk into GameStop
>realize I don't buy games and walk out
>Get told you cant have something
>act like a baby and throw a tantrum
Sure showed him
The kind of management at Gamestop probably hates all of his life decisions, they are probably 30-40 working in retail with a bunch of snotty teenagers whilst there peers and friends from school and shit have 9-5 office jobs earning 5 times as much. Least they can do is get some eye candy as they work.
i went to a fan expo in toronto years ago and i found a pristine copy of the ps2 version of metal gear solid 2: substance for less than 3 canada bucks. and back in 2006 i found a copy of avp 2000 gold edition at ebgames that was in good condition.
but on the other hand they once offered me 25 cents for a current gen game so i dont know what to say about them
>fan expo
>no fans, just video games
You got jipped
i guess so
not a good feeling being so bamboozled
What a badass
Has anyone here actually used a bathroom at GameStop?
From what I've learned online, their bathrooms are used for game storage and employee blowjobs
Explain
He's not the district manager or whatever they decided the clever business plan of only shipping reserved copies of the game to try to increase pre orders
He still
>blatantly lied to him
>did a shitty cancerous practice
It was bullshit anyway, so what the user did was right, he really did right to just walk out and buy the game elsewhere.
If the manager believes that's a good way to score sales, then good for his retarded ass, but he literally just scoared -1 sales and hopefully -1 client.
>local gamestop only stocks pre-order+1
>even on aa and aaa shit
I think mine's dying next year guys.
>what the user did was right
you mean what you did, can't trick us slim baby
They sell games as "new" even though the disc is in an envelope and the case has stickers all over it
just for the shot
...
How did he lie? Because another store happens to have stock of the game?
>best buy has stock that must mean that gamestop has stock
yeah that makes total sense you dribbling autistic faggot. Fuck you and your samefagging. Doom 3 is a shit game and im glad you wasted 45 bucks on it.
>went into gamestop recently
>wall of funkos with a single Link nendo in the middle
Why do you fags go to gamestop? It's awful, why not just go to wal-mart or order online?
can't trick us mobile nose
It's a made up pasta story so user didn't actually do anything.
There used to be this black kid that would visit this gamestop after school every day to practice drawing lewd pictures for his DeviantArt. One time he was drawing something degenerate and showed it to one of the customers (some milf lady) and she walked out in disgust. The kid ended up getting banned from the store because he wouldn't stop bothering customers and he smelled like shit.
idk, they like when employees open up a brand new sealed game, smear their fingers on the disc, and try to pester you with shit deals and deodorant contracts
were you that kid user?
yes
>Go to GAME (UK gamestop)
>loads of crying kids
>more merchandise than games
>funko pop
>staff pestering you
>go to games
>20 quid more expensive than amazon
how are these people still in buisness
didnt mean to tag
>how are these people still in buisness
Literally because of me
Sup Forumstards go there because the employees are "bros" and they can tell random soccer moms to buy weebshit instead of call of duty
>Buy Bravely default from amazon
>Finish game
>Go to game stop to sell it.
>The machine fucks up and gives me 60 bucks for the game
>go to amazon and buy more copies
>Drive to different gamestops all over my city
>Get free money and good goy points.
They haven't done the "new" game in a sleeve thing for years though
>Walk into the same Gamestop at least 1-2 times a year
>It's the Gamestop by my parent's house and I always go into every time I visit because it's so secluded location wise
>Since at least 2011 every time I have visited (remember has only been 1-2 times each years max, I moved out in 2010) up until 2017 the same under 5 foot tranny/12yearold/boy/girl/what the fuck has been there standing by the counter chatting with the cashiers. Hair has always been dyed either purple or pink. Has been in the store every single time I have been in the there for the last 6 years. Not sure how old he/she/it is but it's fucking weird, probably like 4'10, wears a black denim jacket and a chain wallet. high pitch voice. talks about every game it seems
im terrified lads
That's only because they stopped selling games and switched to phones and nerd culture merch.
idk, live down under, and most gaming stores are fine by my standards (though that's most likely cause i'm normietrash.)
of course, don't always buy from them, but that won't stop me when there's a good deal on or when i want to buy a physical copy of a game.
Sneak a pic
Normies can't stand game stores because they smell bad and they are filled with obnoxious nerds. Nice try though.
>Go to gameplanet(taco country gamestop)
>Place is fucking empty like the desert it just needs one of those grass balls passing by to complete the scene with just two retards looking at their iphones behind the register
>Preorder mini snes
>the cashier just ask for money without incident and makes me an account like nothing
>fail to receive a spot anyways
>cancel my preorder
>they reduce my reputation for cancelling the preorder even if they didn't have it when I preordered it
>I try and get my money back but the fucking place isn't open because of the fucking earthquakes we had those days so I had to wait several days and make calls until finally some fucking employee says I should go some other gameplanet and I go and fucking buy bloodborne to use my fucking money since they were saying my fucking money would expire if I didn't use it quickly
FUCKING GAMEPLANET
>see a copy of the prince of persia trilogy for pc
>grab the empty case and go to the counter, the only employee in the store is some new hire bimbo
>hand her the case
>she spends at least 15 minutes looking for the dvds
>she is going through all of them multiple times, over and over again, but she still can't find them
>I actually spot them but i don't say anything to her
>she gives up and apologises to me, says they must have been misplaced, i walk out of the store empty handed
>4-6 months go by
>i happen to be at the same gamestop, the same bimbo is at the counter
>i pick up the same empty prince of persia trilogy case and bring it to her
>she doesn't say anything, she doesn't remember me
>she immediately finds the three dvds, i pay and leave with the games
>8 years later i still haven't played any of them
>be me at 16 years old
>there's a 24 y/o gamergurl working at my local gamestop
>time to put on some airs
>start flirting with her
>"Yeah, I just moved here. Don't have many friends in the area though so I'm just looking for something to do in my downtime."
>mfw she starts writing down her number
>go up to the counter with conception 2 for vita
>she looks at me funny
>get rung out
>"thanks, ma'am
>she visibly scowls and trashes her number
>I walk out of the store in a cold sweat
Why not just go to wal-mart like any other mexican?
Wal mart didn't had snes pre orders, paisano
>go to gamestop yesterday for black friday deals
>see girl I remember from high school in line at the entrance
>as I'm walking out, make prolonged eye contact and smile
>she looks completely bewildered, no sign of recognition at all
>high tail it out of there and never look back
help
True story this just happened less than a hour ago.
>a gamestop in mall for black friday deals
>nothing but mexicans inside, about 15 or more
>2 adult mexicans 6 teens and the rest small children
>teens grabbing many ps4 games off the shelf and filling every kids hands with them
>see at least 30 games in the hands of mexicans, multiple fifa games
>parents buying 4 ps4s
>some kids running out the store with games in hand before paying prompting security to come
Oh, I get it
Trump does the same thing! XD ebin
Did the kids get caught?
The literal last time I ever went to gamestop
>be 3 years ago
>going to gamestop to buy a steam wallet card for the summer sale
>store is basically empty save for the cashiers and 2 customers
>one of the guys in the sotre is the physical embodiment of the tips fedora meme
>his attire consisted of black cargo pants, a black trench coat with very large brown wooden buttons, leather gloves, a trilby hat, and cowboy boots
>he was looking at those weird figurines they have by the register
>get my steam wallet card and approach him as he grabs one of the figurines
>all I can think is "I have to stand behind this guy in line"
>as I approach him it hits me
>he actually smells like shit
>he actually smelled like feces
>contemplate my decisions thus far
>he inquires about his pre-order of a DS game he was putting money on and pays for his figurine
>after he pays he tips his fedora and leaves
>the shit smell lingers
I don't think people realize how real these people are until they come face to face with the living meme itself.
One of the parents went to get them. Then security watched them
i went to one in the states
the guy had a british accent
i asked how out of stock of switches they were
he said they had some in
i said thanks and left
I used to do this with my local gamestore, except I would literally shoplift new games from walmart and take them in brand new. I stole like 6 copies of black ops 2 when it came out and got nearly $300 for them over the course of a week. I could've done instore credit for them and probably bought an entire new console or something.
Phoneposters need to stop
im not on a phone tho
mobiles are rangebanned on Sup Forums
>go to game
>buy game
>walk out with game
every time
Nope I can post just fine, liar
I just have to fill 2 fucking captchas
Fucking phoneposter
I post from my computer 99% of the time though
friend of mine is a fucking madman and stumbled across the game display left open at walmart once. Swiped 4 entire rows of random games and just walked out through the garden section with them, then we traded them in at gamestop, bought taco bell, then drove to longbeach and chilled.
Must have been at least 30 games there. We opened them up and went to a few different gamestops (one in the mall, one downtown, one in the adjacent town) to cover our tracks but it was damn worth it. Fun weekend.
what phone provider
taco country, telcel
Maybe your american shit is the one that is banned
>he's an irrelevant thirdie
knew it
My walmart used to just put new games in those shitty little plastic security cases and put them outside the glass for anyone to grab. All I had to do was grab one, walk over to the tools, grab a flathead screwdriver and pop it open. They stopped doing that though because I probably stole a couple thousand dollars worth of vidya over the course of a few years. Good times.
>go to game
>pick out game
>have to wait in line behind that guy trading in 20 games
>and that mom trying to find that game she just can't remember the game of
>and the other mom whose 6 kids are tearing apart the store
>buy it 40 minutes later
>walk out of the store
>not buying Sup Forums pass and supporting Sup Forums

Are you a spastic?
He literally said "nobody will have them unless you reserved"
How is that not a lie?

>I buy said tv
>Walk out
>Go to car
>Open backpack
>Steal 8 bottles of gatorade

also enjoy getting doxed because you tied your personal info to your Sup Forums postings dipshit
>IP forwarded to authorities for further investigation
They do it with the movies too. Too bad DVDs are fucking worthless these days.
ok so you are a nigger thanks for clearing that up
>Stealing gatorade
Can't go much lower than this
I guess you could go if you thrown yourself and pretended you had a heart attack if you got caught
Good luck. Im behind AT LEAST 7 proxies.

Are clients even allowed to use GS bathrooms? I used to use it all the time, but only because my boyfriend was working there
Really? Maybe thats a trick pulled by the employees so you pre order the game the next time
Why spics are so disgusting, I can almost smell the shitskin in you
I can almost pass as white, don't even look indio
Even indios treat me better than the average
Being almost white in mexico is ike being the smartest kid on the short bus
You are a shitskinned indio to all humans
This happened about two months ago
>wanna buy a switch, heard they were restocking them

you cant even steal from gamestop; the discs are behind the counter
Calm down beaner, dont you have to behead someone or rescue your fat ass mother from the rubble?
You had a ps4 but you didn’t already have Bloodborne?
how do you "forget" your ID? dont you have a wallet?
Yeah but I took the ID out that day for some reason
Everytime a beaner acts rude to me or my friends I just give a call to my brother at ICE, he sends a couple of guys there to harass the illegal bastards
>I bet you aren't white
