Gamestop, I hate you.

Would you like to pre-order (fill in the blank) ? NO
 
Do you have an Edge card? NO
 
Would you like to sign up for an Edge card so we can stuff a shitty magazine in your mailbox for 15 doll.... NO
 
Warranty? NO 
 
Did you know we...NO
 
CAN I BUY THIS PIECE OF SHIT GAME IN THIS PIECE OF SHIT HELLHOLE OF A STORE AND LEAVE?
 
NO.
 
Let's not leave out how I had to wait twenty minutes in a line behind TWO people because the clerk couldn't stop talking to the costumer about some shit he did in some shitty game.
 
And then the lady right before me said yes to every question I mentioned earlier because she's a fucking brainless twatlip.
 
I hate that store. I hate hate hate hate hate hate that store. I hate the games in that store simply because they come from that fucking store. I hate the carpet. I hate the tons of shit they pile up near the counter hoping to sucker some schmuck into buying a fucking Halo action figure. I hate that place so much, I would rather eat fifty used jockstraps dressed with dogshit than to ever walk into that slumshack again.
 
Hey, Gamestop...FUCK YOU!

Sounds like the customers are idiots. Also in my job (Cashier) I often talk to customers because we are told to engage them and make them happy. Even if we have to lie though our teeth to do so. 

I buy every single game online. You dont have to deal with any crap.

I like you, get past the limit so you can post more.

I don't wish to insult any employees but really, I hate your store. Besides, your position there is only temporary. Quit and we can hate together.

" @The_Laughing_Man: Are you here to expose all the phonies?  "

Oh my God! I had to wait in line and answer questions!  I don't have time for this, my life is too important!

I hate Gamestop too. I hate all retail stores actually. God I hate a lot of things actually...

I totally agree. I don't mind if they ask about one thing, but when it starts becoming a hard-sell routine sales pitch my blood starts to boil.
 
Gamestop sucks dick.

I don't believe you.

Its just annoying to hear people bitch. I wanna know if the OP has a job where they have to deal with the public.  I had to talk to some old guy 20 mins about fishing last night because he was a customer.   Also are you gonna go back to a place to a person who does the bare bones or if the guy talks to you for a wile about the stuff you like and he likes.  "

I'm a busy man with important meetings. I go to places who get to the point and sell me my shit. "

I hate gamestop too but you also have to understand the employees are forced to try to sell all that stuff or they get fired.

"Engage them... make them happy."  Sometimes (or should I say, most times) those are two contradicting assignments, in direct conflict with one another. "

I went into Gamestop to get my copy of MvC3 and I was delighted by a friendly (not pushy) employee who got me my game and I was out in 5 minutes. Oh also, EBGames was having a sale on Sin & Punishment Star Successor for the Wii. It was $10 and I bought it. Good day for me. Sucks for you TC.

there's this new site called amazon or something... you can buy games online and they show up at your door a couple days later. If you order before they're out they usually show up the day they come out. It's really cool. They don't even make you pay shipping most of the time. 

People buy games at Gamestop?

Online is nice if you can wait but I don't have time to wait. I go go go. I want my shit without the cost of shipping, too. Duh.

" I hate gamestop too but you also have to understand the employees are forced to try to sell all that stuff or they get fired. "

it must be only in Montreal that EB Games / GameStop stores are superb.  
 
oh well, better for me! 

I guess I'm the only one that has a gamestop with genuinely awesome people working there.

These "I hate Gamestop" threads are old hat.  
 
It's a business, just like any other. They're going to try and sell you things. Is it that big of a hassle to be engaged by another human being? We've all heard the horror stories about their shifty sales tactics, but let's not generalize for the whole lot. I don't shop there a lot, but when I do, I have fairly good experiences.

My GameStop is usually fine, though I haven't been in a long time.  Most of the employees let you get your shit and get out.  There are a few though that were new last time I was there and they did the shit where they ask you twenty million questions with literally 6 people in line behind me.  Makes it EXTREMELY awkward for me to have to sit there and hold up the line for 10+ minutes because the dude won't stop giving me sales pitches.  Like I said, it's usually fine though.

good old gamestop. with people always complain about it. i do agree though. the last time i went there it was only managers there. it was pretty good, i didn't have anyone bother me.

NO.

GOD DAMN those employess for doing their jobs!

I never really had any type of problems with the Gamestop I go to. People know their stuff.

Sorry. I still like the store. 

Funny.  I was just at a Gamestop the other day with my daughter who was buying herself a new DSiXL.  They didn't ask any of these questions.  Now true, I just gave them my PowerUp card before they could ask.  Although I would think that if someone is buying a piece of hardware, an important question to ask would be "would you like to purchase a warranty with that?"  That's what I get for not going to my regular store. 
 
But I have to agree that if people have a problem with Gamestop STOP FUCKING SHOPPING THERE.  You shouldn't be surprised by any of those questions, they've been asking them for years.  

I live in the UK and we have a store called "Game" which I have a sneaky feeling maybe be owned by the same overlords. Anyway thanks for creating a place on the interweb for me to release this:
 
I HATE YOU GAME!

If there were a contest for drinking a 12 pack each time "Gamestop" is in a thread title, we would all be alcoholics by now.

I'm definitely the minority here but..... I like Game Stop. yeah i could order online and not get sucked into all the more or less pointless pre-order stuff. but I dunno I have never disliked being at a Game Stop. Maybe its just cause the employees there are nice to me since I've been going to the same Game stop for like 5 years now.  

Then you should probably stop shopping there or something. I dunno, makes sense to me.

" If there were a contest for drinking a 12 pack each time "Gamestop" is in a thread title, we would all be alcoholics by now. "

I understand why people hate GameStop. Hell I'm pretty pissed at Best Buy because some jerk off didn't put my MvC3 Special Edition aside and now I have to wait, but there is a simple solution to this. Stop going there. Go to Target, order from Amazon.
 
Also, I kind of like GameStop. There used to be a dick working at the one by me, but he's gone now, plus the other one I started going to, everyone that works there is cool.

Ehh sure there business practices suck but I think it depends whose working there. 
The people that work at my local gamestop are pretty chill. They act polite and let me buy my game then leave, no bullshit attached. Also if they do talk about games they actually know what they're talking without sounding like a snarky asshole. 
 
I'm not saying that all my gamestop experience have been great. I'm been to those stores where its just the worst thing ever. Like I said it really depends whose working there.

you know what stop going already, jeez come on man start buying stuff online if you don't want to deal with this minor bullshit.

the two that I usually go to (one near the college campus, one near my house) are pretty cool and let you buy your game after a token "do you want an edge card" thing, but jesus dude, buy online.
