Gamestop story thread/

100% guarantee you the guy was relunctant because he felt awkward and didn't know how to handle the situation, not because he was your friend or wanted you there. You sound like the literal worst type of customer ever, people who work in retail fucking hate people like you but we're PAID TO BE NICE YOU AUTISTIC FUCK

God your life must suck

Like.... being you must really REALLY suck.

I lived out the bucktoothed mouthbreathing redneck conversing with a naruto-loving dwarf, criticizing and giving his experience with every customer's selection standing by the checkout irl. i can remember the smell his upper lip exuded to this day

hanging out alone at a place of business is absolutely disgusting

everyone else is there because they're getting paid or they're spending money its not a fucking social club.

You spend HOURS in a Gamestop?

You are one sad piece of shit

actually his life must be fucking awesome if he has the time and energy to do something so banal and useless

He probably goes there to escape the scornful wrath of his disappointed parents.

>worked at a gamestop in high school
>thought it'd be great because games and i was an idiot
>smelly neckbeards stand around in store all day beside the counter talking about their favorite weeb shows
>children constantly crying about how they're not old enough to buy an M rated game without a parent
>rednecks constantly calling in to see how much money they can get for a broken 360 they stole from their cousin and how much each individual game for it is worth

the only enjoyable bit was that you could check out or "rent" used games for free for a few days.

this is so fucking accurate it hurts.

Years, and I mean fucking years ago, there was a guy exactly like that at the local mall here. German fat piece of shit that would hog the demo consoles, read books and listen to CDs on the sampling machines all fucking day long. Motherfucker must've been like 30 when I was at my early teens

I see the scourge just changes places now, didn't really disappear

I remember some funcoland cashier berated me for 5 minutes straight for buying pokemon cards. Telling me that pokemon was stupid and for kids. I was only 10 years old at the time

Looking back it's humorous to think a grown man getting mad at a kid. I was just trying to buy some pokemon cards with my hard earned money from mowing my neighbors lawn.

The thing about this post is that on some level, you know it isn't right. You wouldn't have posted that image with it without some subconscious voice in your head crying fruitlessly to you that your lifestyle isn't what it should be.

That's me in your image.

I'm surprised they let you in the store longer than 30 minutes. In my area Gamestop employees are pretty direct, they will badger you constantly from the moment you walk in the door. I don't even shop there much and I honestly feel like i'm intruding after 40 seconds in the store.

Wow, is your father Doublemint Dave and you Cracker Kent?

Don't you have a local trading card/game store? Those places openly invite you to come play Magic or vidya with other people all day you stupid fuck, it even hosts a myriad of other asspies so you won't even feel awkward there.

Why in the hell would you take your autistic escapades to a retail store? Don't tell me you don't have a local game/trading card store either because I live in a rural town and have two.

...

Sure it did user.

why is it always smelly fucking hobos and fat autist that play the consoles at the store. I never ever see normal kids play the games ever.

>visit GameStop often looking for older, cheap games

>I constantly ask if they have the case for the DS games in the display case; explicitly make it clear that I'm not interested in a game unless it comes with the original case and manual.

>I request that cases from the shelf be swapped with one in better condition before I purchase

>I quickly decline GPG and rebuff all PowerUp Rewards Pro advances by making sure to tell the employees how much better value Best Buy's Gamer's Club Unlocked and Amazon Prime are in comparison

>I'm usually sweaty due to the distance I had to walk to go there

Honestly GameStop and their employees deserve to eat shit on a daily basis.

You sound disappointed

i know shit like that is annoying, but when it's a service you provide, there's no reason to be a prick about it.

pic related, what his hair looked like.

I used to work at GameStop and can confirm fuckers like this exist.

damn right chris, looks like normal people have learned not to touch filthy "store" consoles.

Greatest bait.

If not well....
You are a fucking idiotic example of human life with no sense of finantial insecurity.

>hanging out alone at a place of business is absolutely disgusting
Fuck that. Me and my friends use to go to the mall every weekend and hang out. We bought expensive items everytime and still received shit from the constantly fired employees.

>wageslave

>and my friends
Important part there user

P I S S

Same man. I fucking hate it when they swap the case with a generic or players choice case. They also regularly forget to put the disc in the case or even put the wrong fucking disc in.

>not offended because I also happen to work at gamestop for minimum wage: the post

ok

I can already smell the odour of the british underclass and alternative lifestyle student employees wafting in the stagnant air.

This never happens

GET OUT OF MY STORE YOU FUCKING MALLRAT !!!!!

i can still remember the stink and i was a tourist.

The aura of sweat and urine

Source?

I love these stories, especially the one where the guy brings bagels and hands some out to a single mom and her kid.

was this man ever caught?

Yea game exchange have some pretty bad employees in my area as well. I understand its not a glamorous job, but Jesus Christ don't act like a huge dick.

Bullshit. How did you pay?

I am clearly offended with a faggot spraying the word wageslave. Like you are any better from us.

But please give me some random reply crapping on everything that will not make you sound like a pretensious douchebag of a richfag

caught for what? He isn't doing anything illegal

someone's been cut deep

Hand them my credit card with the rewards card.

>Clerk didn't ask you about pre-ordering the next COD
I don't believe this story for one minute.

deal with it kid.

This.
Those kids also usually had some stronk as fuck BO, too.

Cred Forums is not your personal blog

>Asks me
>Call him a fag

>like 8 years ago
>playing some tomb raider game at best buy
>mess up a few times getting up this ledge

>he gets up the ledge and keeps playing
>watch him lost in his own little world for a few minutes before I walk away

>two years later I see him there playing guitar hero
>he reeks like he shit his pants

Maybe he bought a JRPG. The clerk should've asked to pre-order the next one in the series, even if it's not announced yet.

>Walk past gamestop

FUCKING GAMESTOP

my ass

I realized the game demos were not for me the second I had to start hunching over to reach the hard mounted controllers. Adults doing that is just humiliating.

Everything went as expected.

I'm hopeless

Some mouthbreather made a big stink about this and it blew up some time ago, IIRC.

Sometimes it gets to me.

I'm fully serious m8

You sound like a bitch.
What are you majoring in?

>Be thankful that I'm not a complete failure in life and don't work retail anymore.

Your lack of empathy is stupidly amazing.

I've fought plenty of you pussies.

You all talk big but cower like children with a good fist to the jaw.

just about to finish my minor in languages ( english and spanish) so I can start another minor in computer science.

>never go back to the first gamestop for fear she'll recognize me

It sounds so pathetic it can be true in case of some Cred Forumsirgins.

You sound like you have no idea what you want to do and you're just in school because you believe you have to.

>brother has a lack of video games so I give him my DS and all of my games
>he goes to Gamestop one day
>he traded all of the games in for almost no money
>he didn't even put the games in their cases first
>they couldn't take the DS because the sticker on the back was gone
>apparently once they add up the trade-in price you have to take what they offer or take nothing
>can't even have the games back
>returned the DS to me with no games and a big stack of empty game cases

it's okay though, I got an R4 card

STEP 1 - start asking strangers that seem confortable to talk to, questions that anybody asks

EX: TIME, day of the week, Location of something, etc.

Step 2 - take it up a notch and ask women ( preferably atractive ones)

Step 3 - use question has leverage to have a 30 second short conversation about something.

EX: Thanks for letting me know the day of the week, I was worried for a second I have this meeting at work and I thought it was today!

Obligatory step : If a human rejects you, just move foward in dismissal, if another human watches the happening, he will probably be on your side statting that the other human was a douchebag and not worth the conversation!

There user: good practise and get well soon.

Of course it did. It couldn't be any other thing besides something negative with my life.

Let me guess your major, psychology?

Seriously I just can't stand shit like this. Cred Forums used to be a place where you could talk to someone even if it was something embarassing. Nowadays everyone wants to be better than everyone.

I am seriously done with this site.

...

Gender Studies.

Automotive actually.
Look, I was only digging to see if you were making stupid decisions, so I could throw some advice at you. A man as edgy as you are is useless.

But you are right, you really shouldn't be on this site. You're too damn sensitive

I know this is bait, but it still makes me feel bad.
Would give a "sup" to the guy to make him feel better.

Has anyone here every been close to throwing up at gamestop from the smell of B.O, piss and shit from the disgusting people.

The local gamestop had to be cleansed with glen20 because some unwashed hobo stank out the place with his stink sweat. He wiped it all on the demo console as well.

>go to midnight launch of COD or SKYRIM, can't remember which
