Wasnt it putting your knee on his back and pulling his shoulder? Thats what we did

Wow gamestop sound like hell place to buy video games. I am happy there are not gamestops in my country

>go to GameStop
>get my Darkrai card
>leave

Like I'd ever buy games there.

Lying faggot. Gamestop does not keep discs in "the back of the store", they keep them in little drawers behind the counter.

Did you go back for your Arceus code?

Some stores do keep the cds in back
Dont know why this is triggering for you

No they don't, queer.

They actually do.

Go to GameStop.
Their system is down so I have to pay in cash.
Don't have cash so I have to walk mile for ATM.
Fucking GameStop.

the fuck kind of cramp you got, how did you even sleep or do anything?

it would be perfectly okay. You finiky ass bitch

if that's the only thing about that post that seemed suspicious to you, you might wanna go and jump off the nearest bridge.

you did a good thing, user

I used to work at Gamestop when it was called Babbages.

Parmatown Mall. We used to take breaks long enough to get drunk at the one of the mall restaurant's happy hour. I also used to fuck a girl that worked at the Aladdin's Castle about 5 stores down. Good times, the mall has since been demolished.

Anyway, I haven't been to Gamestop in years. Going all digital erased the need.

you helped turn a child into a cod-playing zombie good job anno

I fell in love with that FUCKING GAMESTOP employee that day.

its the thought that matters user, you did the right thing

>go to Blockbuster

FUCKING BIZARRO STOP

It was fucking painful. It hurt to walk. Each step was pure agony. At the time, I lived on the 3rd floor of an apartment building so it was hell going up and down the stairs. I could sleep just fine if I stayed in one position.

so you didn't actually have a cramp for a week, the muscle was just strained after the cramp

Pretty much. Probably should have said something along those lines.

>W-what would you have done, Cred Forums?
Process what she said in my brain for like 1 second max, followed by moving on with my life and thinking about something else.

that's weird though, my muscles are usually fine 10 hours after the cramp

Posting some of my old saved experiences.

This isn't such a "FUCKING GAMESTOP story. but this happened to me last year, Moreno beach Plaza, CA Gamestop.

>Go in for my usuals, end up browsing
>Theres a mother and her kid at the register
>The kid is sitting on the floor with his hands over his ears and head looking like hes mentally traumatized by something.
>Decide to just mind my own business and continue browsing, but overhear their conversation
>Woman is trying to get her son a New 3DS, but without Wi-fi.
>Apparently the kid has been majorly cyber bullied, and she refuses to buy a 3DS if it has internet connections, she wants one that has no acess to the internet period.
>Poor guy at the register trying to explain parental controls to her, and that you can lock a 3DS settings, but it needs internet to conenct and update.
>"Well what if I don't want that? Do you not understand? my son has been horribly trolled and cyber bullied, I do NOT want him to have internet acess, so I need you to lock it for me."
>"I can't do that ma'm"
>"Why not?"
>"Because, it just doesnt work that way, I can't lock a console from interent acess, you just need to not physically connect it."
>Poor guy is literally under stress, and is actually a friend, so I chime in.
>"You basically need to jsut make sure your son can't access the internet, that can be done using parental controls, and locking your router."
>She turns to me and then starts asking me questions, I try to be as informative as I can.
>friend waves to me a "thank you" and helps other customers in line
>"Well, for starters, do you know if you have WEP or WPA encryption?"
>"Whats that?"
>Ohjesuschrist.
cont.

>spend twenty minutes trying to explain the difference between the types and how they work, she seems genuinely interested.
>"Okay, so. If it's WPA, I can buy the system, and he won't have internet?"
>"If you don't let him,know the password no."
>"But wht if he guesses it? He's a smart boy you know, and I'd just hate for him to continue the torment he's gone through."
>This goes on for even longer
>Eventually she asserts the point she wants a system where he cannot access the internet.
>"Alright, then you might want a DSi. It can no longer connect to the internet, period. the servers are down."
>She picks one up and reads the box
>"Mmm, no, it says it can connect to the internet."
>Try to explain to her that that was nearly 8 years ago, and the servers no longer exist, therefore it can't be acessed.
>"Well what if they bring them back up again? i just can't stand the thought of my boy unknowingly browsing the internet just to be trolled and harmed again.
>Kid is still on the floor and looks like a complete wreck.
>Finally give up and just suggest the original DS, since it has no Internet period.
>Of course Gamestop doesn'y fucking carry them anymore.

>Drags her son along.
>Cashier friend profusely thanks me and since its been 3 fucking hours, I just wait til he gets off work in another 20 minutes.

Yep. But I remember Darkrai more for some reason.

I post this one on /vp/ pretty often.

>Around the time X/Y came out

Fucking Gamestop.

Whats the matter? Can't handle your power to the players?

Really should have thought of that before you became a manlet, user.

this

the door in the back is for backstock and unreleased games

if it's a used game they would be making a point to get rid of it asap because that's where they make their sales and I'd guess that would be the case if it was scratched to hell the whole story is bullshit anyway, I believe that dude being a cuck but no way does he get a date

hot

I worked at gamestop, and yes they do keep discs and all sorts of other shit in the back. It's mostly a surplus of games and systems, along with promotional material, and dirty bathroom.

>things I never knew I wanted to happen so badly

>work at gamestop
>feels like almost every week a child comes into the store and vomits/shits themselves
>manager was constantly pissed because he's always have to clean it up.

Nothing was more amazing then when the store got re-done and we got rid of the carpets for hardwood. Our store perma smelled before from the mountains of shit and vomit that stained that carpet.

should have whipped out your dick faggot

Ive actually had someone come in and take a shit by the front door once. He did it right behind one of the displays so we didn't see him. We thought he was just bending over to look at some games.

>go to game to buy steam wallet because mummy won't give her credit card to me anymore
>cashier asks if i have a club card
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH

Honest to goodness question: Why does Cred Forums have such a bee up their butt about Gamestop? Is it just ironic shitposting that became a meme at this point? It's easily the most accessible and affordable store out there when it comes to actually getting games.

>Counter is usually friendly and aren't afraid to talk with you (Yes I know this varies store to store)
>Pre-owned is affordable and usually in decent condition, they physically will not sell you a disc with a crack in it because they are obligated by store policy to show you the disc first and get your approval.
>If a game you ant isn't in stock, you can have them call another store and have it shipped to you (Done this multiple times with low stock things like Rhythm Thief and Fragile dreams)
>Pre-ordering is surefire to get your shit, You just pay 5% of your initial cost to secure your purchase, and you don't get fucked over by amazon shipping or "day 1 delivery" mishaps
>Midnight/morning launches are a blast because you get to go hang out with people who are just as excited about the launch as you and converse/play games while waiting.

So why? I admit trade value sucks, but thats no reason to just hate a store on principle.

>go to all the gamestops once every few days in my area
>ask them if they have any extra cases / manuals to games they're tossing out (gamestop gets rid of cases to all their DS games and other console games)
>they give me what they have becauset hey're a bro and would have tossed them in the trash anyway
>flip them on ebay $5 each for case / manual, no game
>make tons of money
>repeat this as a side job

FUCKING GAMESTOP

Fucking Game Stop

envy you senpai

Retail is actually kinda fun, I've had all sorts of jobs and now I'm back being a wageslave for a small business but I'm sort of loving it. No Gamestops around here though and the one right by my old house was run by a creep who wouldn't give me the time of day because he was a cuck and probably hung off the every word of his stupid bitch assistant who used every opportunity she could to belittle me and other customers

>Always buy used PS3 games
>Cashiers are usualy nice about supplying the cases if they have them, but sometimes they don't.

>Put them on the counter
>Guy looks at me
>"You just want the cases though."
>"I'm buying the games too."

>"Yes, and I'm also paying for them."
>He rings me up, I get my cases.
>"Oh and I would like to make a trade in as well."
>Guy glares at me
>"Let me guess, three Ps3 games?"
>"Yup!"
>"Right hand on the finger print scan please."
>Trade in the games I just bought for 40 cents and leave.

They bought out all the chains that sold old games and then stopped selling old games

They're still one of the best options but that shit still stings dude

>work at gamestop several years ago
>never asked people to sign up for a power up card or ask fi they wanted to preorder anything

Best Buy is better, prove me wrong.
Even if they don't carry the game at the store, they will still sell it online and ship it for free if it is a new game/preorder.

protests have to start somewhere, user

why dont you apply for gamestop if you're getting so emotional about it

The DSi has internet fgt. You don't need nintendo servers to use the web browser.
But the story was ridiculous anyway

GUYS ASK A GIRL WHO WORKS AT GAMESTOP IN EUROPE SINCE 4 YEARS EVERYTHING

I'm complaining about your sheer lack of willingness to follow your boss' orders. I'm surprised you even have a job, if you do.

You do not go against the boss. No matter then company, no matter the reason.

I felt the same way you did when i worked there. It was ok at first, but I couldn't stomach putting on a half assed smile and my face to lie and cheat people out of their money with a lot of the shit we offered, So i quit and found another job. I recommend you do the same.

I guess i'm not a very good salesman or a liar to cut it in that sort of work.

quite a few customers have made moves on me, yeah. some of them were a little on the nerdy and dorky side and rejecting them made me feel sorry for them. a couple of them were downright creepy.

Why do they need your finger print?

I fucking hate bartering. Hated how this is encouraged online when shopping at flea markets.

>pitying beta faggots
literal perfection

It's a new law for any store that buys things from people and resells them. It's to help track down people that steal shit then sell them to game stores and pawn shops.

Its policy now since 2012, Trade ins require finger print thumb scanning.

Don't ask me why, they just do. Anytime you trade in you have to give a thumb print, and a signature.

I'd assume its to track fraudlulent merch if someone traded in counterfeits.

You should have your sister go to the store and talk to the manager, or call corporate if they blow you off.

I keked

Oh ok thanks.
I haven't traded anything into Gamestop since maybe 2011.

>go to game stop looking for game

Dumbass.

Nobody gets cheated out of money at Gamestop. You have every right to decline Gamestop's offers and deals.

Bretty gud.

From what he said that probably happened a few years ago. I mean, SMT3? P3? Aren't those PS2 games?

This isn't a Fucking gamestop story, but I saw this last weke and thought it was funny.

Best Buy is just as annoying as Gamestop, employees following you around trying to get you to buy shit.

They usually keep popular games in the draw at the front for ease of access and older stuff they haven't fucked off yet in the back.

Fucking awesome!
Oh, I'm not too familiar with these games, and didn't know.
Who the fuck trades in Super Mario Maker? Great game that is endless.

Just before Christmas Day, he received those games back in a parcel sent by me. We talk on steam sometimes. Nice guy, very emotional though.

Because the 3Ds version got announced the day before.

Yes they do. Stop posting shitty pics.

Thats a Rusty Venture you idiot

The Wii U version is superior to 3DS version. 3DS version is stripped down and stuck on a shitty screen.
Fucking awesome if this is true.

>only time i ever go to gamestop anymore is when my dumbass friends drag me there

What a waste of 500, it's true.

Yeah right

Really hate when theres two registers, and you always get the person who doesn't know shit.

Orlandofag here. Can confirm.

I used to work retail in a tool/equipment store and my best friend worked at a cell phone shop, and it is well known amongst all service people in florida that Haitians cannot physically help themselves from haggling.

Like they could be about to die because a gunman said "hey ima shoot you in the face unless you pay me $4" and they would try to talk him down to $3.20 and a paperclip.

The best part was after the haitian earthquake, they all came in wanting to buy generators and gas powered pumps, but wanted to haggle (we were on corporate pricing, too) so every time they would ask for a discount i would just say no and raise the "price". After they cooled down and agreed to pay the original price, i would say i would not sell it to them with out the extended warranty. I made like $30 off every warranty, and i made like $10-15 commission off of every generator or pump sale. Best part is the warranty was invalid if taken outside of the US. hahaha

Im glad they got hit by a fucking earthquake and their plight funded my first AR15.

Seriously, fuck Haitians.

What the heck does any of that have to do with hating women? Can you even read?

Yeah, as a customer I hate that shit. I just want to buy my games. I end up buying new games from other stores just to avoid that shit.

Funny, but fake stories suck.

South Floridafag here. Can confirm Haitians are the fucking worst. Braindead, poor, and smell awful.

Not woman hating.
Fucking awesome!

Nice to see another britbong here.

That store sounds like an absolute nightmare for parents.

Should have called the cops and got him arrested, fired, rest of his life fucked up with bad employment and police record.

I hate assholes like you, how do you not have shit reviews from people who got ripped off?

>"Well what if they bring them back up again? i just can't stand the thought of my boy unknowingly browsing the internet just to be trolled and harmed again.
>Kid is still on the floor and looks like a complete wreck.

Thank you user for making me laugh out loud. I dont know if the story is true or not but it's pretty funny.

I wish they'd just release XV with the Pro so I can get a bundle on that.

I hate when I go to a game store, and it's nothing but parents yelling and threatening their kids, and kids running around the store yelling, crying, and running into everything including myself at full tackle. I'm pretty sure adults like me that are into video games end up just buying shit online.

It is unfortunately true. I was there for a long time explaining to the point that it was nearly sunset.

He has been in prison a couple times already. Most likely for taking drugs or being a jackass to people on the streets. I do sound like a dispite poor British people, but I really don't. I just hate him out of all of them.

I'm pretty sure people intentionally buy just the case and manual, for games they only have the disc or cartridge.

Because collectors are the reason he can do that in the first place.
I could wipe my ass with a manual for Dynamite Headdy or blow my nose in an Earthbound strategy guide and people would still pay to have them.

Not him, but hes not ripping them off, he's selling the Case and manual as replacements for people who need them. Its a very common practice, I do the same from my finds at local flea markets.

Why toss it out when someone could use it?

I bought a "new" game once from GameStop and it was obviously used but re-sealed.
That was years ago but I've never bought a single thing from there ever since. I dont trust their "new" copies.

>people actually buy used empty cases and manuals on purpose
Looks like I made a mistake, sorry mate.

That sounds fucking awful for everybody involved.

no a charlie horse is the growing pain you get in your legs when you're a kid

Don't mind if the case has been opened, but I don't want to risk having the codes all used up.

I think it mostly depends on what Gamestop you go to. You're going to have employees who don't give a shit and provide shit service when the company treats their employees like garbage.

>call every gamestop in a 40 mil radius for pokemon go plus
>sorry all preordered or on hold!
fucking gamestop

No.

i've seen both in the same store. some games up front, and then the guy has to go to a room in back for a game "we almost definitely don't have" (they had it)

>be a normie
>go to gamestop for pokemon cards

Likely story, nerd.

Not just as a kid.

Charlie horses happen to adults too, Its especially common on cold nights/mornings where you sleep, and the next moment you roll over/slept funny you feel a THROBBING pain in the back of your leg that instinctively causes you to curl in and it pulsates for a good ten seconds before it dies down.

THATS a charlie horse. And they suck. I got one a few weeks ago.

Pokemon has always been a "normie" series, so his story's pretty likely.

LOL! AHAHAHA!!!
That was actually pretty nice OP!

how often do guys ask you out because ur a gaymur gurll ;))) ( not saying you are, but a lot of faggots have that fantasy of a girl who loves games )

>THATS a charlie horse
That's a cramp.

Just got Recore from Best Buy because it came with a controller skin.

>"it's got a lot of hammer space"
>buy a racing wheel so I can at least feel like I'm driving on the bus back
Okay this made me laugh

>Go to gamestop
>Ask fag behind the counter for a copy of Witcher 3 on Ps4

>I'm genuinely confused
>I ask what he's talking about

>I assume he thinks I'm underage (I'm like 20) so I go to pull out my ID and tell him I'm old enough
>He doesn't look at it and kicks me out
>I end up buying the game digitally
Fucking dumbass employee named Caleb. I still don't know whether he just thought I was underage or if he just thought I was gonna steal the fucking thing (I'm not black in case anyone asks)

no that's a deadleg

Not to go full Cred Forums, but these people dont belong in western countries for the simple fact that they dont have the same culture as westerners.

I guess it'll take time for them to understand that people dont use the barter system in this country.

Pre-owned isn't always a bad thing, sometimes you get absolutely stellar deals.

gamestop sells retro shit now, so if it were lost or hidden for a very long time, it could feasibly be sold since it exists as a game to the gamestop database again

hope you learned your lesson

Sexy
Should have reported him to management. They kick out all bad employees.

Fucking kids, man. We made up too many games to hurt each other. My classmates and I used to yell "Open *body part*!" and then punch the shit out of them. I'd get punched in the chest, I'd get that person back later that day by punching him in the dick. Everyone thought it was hilarious.

Correction.

Gamestop sells retro shit ONLINE.

Local stores do not carry retro merchandise, nor do they accept trade ins of it. All of it is handled through distribution of the Warehouses in Austin Texas.

t. Cali Gamestop employee

Fuck off mohammed

They should be able to come if they want to be an American. Get kicked out if they don't respect how things are run. It's one thing to keep your culture, it's another thing to try and force bartering.

It's so fucking hard to find a tv that's not a smart tv these days I swear to god. If I could shave off a hundred bucks to get a regular ass tv I would

Love me some Goodwill, usually for the cds, but once in awhile I find a neat bit of hardware or vidya

I hate this shit

FUCKING GAMESTOP

Goodwill is gross. Everything is so dirty!

All Goodwills in my area have no games or hardware.
I always avoid buying my new games in Gamestop to avoid the "you should have preordered" bullshit. No other store does this.

Maybe you shouldn't have been short, faggot.

I have one who works for me and is sitting literally 5 feet away. Fucking moron.

Fucking Gamestop.

I thought so myself, but I decided to buy this TV because I didn't have a HDTV, regardless of the extra features. I took it home and realized it wasn't a smart TV.

Pretty cool if real.

The thing that makes me feel the story isnt real though, is that you asked him for his PO Box, as if it's common for everyone to have one... and the guy just happened to indeed have a PO Box. I call bs.

No long chain of replies explaining a Rusty Venture. I'm disappointed.

wut gam

>>She calls out "Come back any time" that eerily sounds like the RE4 merchant
What the fuck?

LOL!
Fucking nigger culture!

I bought a Bluray player for $10 and it pretty much added all the worthwhile "smart" features you could want.

Usually Goodwills end up being shit tier if they're in a region where pawn shops are available, or if they're in a region that participates in Goodwill's online auction site.

Lucky for me, I live in bumfuck nowhere, so options are either pay money to dump your shit, or just have Goodwill take your shit.

About tree fiddy

LOL! That guy sounds so fucking awful! Fire him!

Just pull out your phone and call corporate in front of her

This happened to me with ZTD and Lego Star wars.

The launch line was for lego Star wars VII, so it was packed with parents and kids with lightsabers, and I was the only one there to pick up ZTD

Goodwills in my area are far away from other game shops, so I don't know why they are so shit. One Goodwill is so shit they just throw shit in giant baskets on wheels and roll them around the store. Unorganized and dirty. Fucking lazy and disgusting. I avoid this part of town for being slightly ghetto.

Dairy Queen 7 can't you read

Should have called corporate and complained. You could have gotten your game and she would have gotten punished.

Where did you find a PS4 for $10?

At least you got the game, I swung by my local gamestop last night to pick up dq7 and they would either say its only on playstation or that the midnight release was basketball only

(Opps. I replied to the wrong post eariler)

The higher-ups don't want to because where else are you going to find a class A CDL driver for $12/hour

although with what we've spent fixing his fuckups we could have paid someone like $25/hour

>PS4
I doubt it, I'm sure he wanted something that could play blu-rays in 4K

often, some of them ask me to "play" together lol. I do play video games since I was little, but I'd rather not go to some random dude's house to "play" assassin's creed. x]

what is your major malfunction

He did have one apprentely, other wise he would have said no. He recieves games from people who watch him on YouTube.
