Some clerk kept calling me Sir a few years back. I may have lost my temper.
Ha! I have a similar story in my post. Except the girls were the awkward ones in my story, not me.My first job was working at a GameStop that was brand new, and my friend was the manager. So 99% of my GameStop stories are funny and positive.
Like the time that my assistant manager said “hey dac, watch this” and he walked to the back room and SLAMMED the door as hard as he could, and every single Xbox 360 case fell off the wall at once in a glorious waterfall of green plastic. It was so awesome I even helped him pick it all up.
I’ve got a couple horror stories, too, but I think the one that still keeps me up at night is when my insanely hot coworker asked me to come hang out after work with her and her cute friend. I think at the time I had assumed it was just a party with a bunch of people or something, I don’t know. But I had some other plans (that I definitely could have cancelled), so I passed on the offer.
It wasn’t until later when I found out from a different coworker that they were inviting just me over, clearly to fool around, and she was disappointed when I “rejected” the offer.
I was pretty oblivious and not that confident when I was 17 or whatever, so I never brought it up or tried to get a redo. She quit soon after (due to school) and we didn’t keep in touch.
I am an absolute idiot. Pour one out for me, boys.
Also happened to me. A sealed game, bundled with my PS3, and they only wanted to pay 20 for it. Fuck GameStop for that. I'll never forgetYes, I do.
Older brother got a PS3 and bought Arkham City at Best Buy with his points. He then found out the PC version was much cheaper and a lot better so ended up giving me his copy but I already had the game. I told him to go to Game Stop for a trade-in...they offered $12 for the game still sealed in its package but were selling opened packages for $40.
Fuck 'em and I hope they go bankrupt.
I had a similar situation with Smash Bros (Brawl?) for the Wii.Halo 3 launch day I went in to buy the game without a preorder. Manager was like “did you preorder? No? *sigh* well it’s going to be a really hot game and if you didn’t preorder then I don’t know if I have enough to sell you one. I’ll have to go check.”
I told him no thanks and walked to the Target next store, where they had a freaking mountain of Halo 3 copies sitting behind the counter.
