Questioning someone for making dumb, unsubstantiated claims = irrational behavior. Bra-vo. You have any other similarly moronic and over the top posts to make, junior? Or is trolling and name calling usually how you make first impressions when you're new to an online community?
you should go back to him and say "you were saying?"
I almost want to trade my Vita in to him since he still works there. That would be amusing. lol XD
Ultimately GameStop would have the last laugh giving me like $60 for it.

Stolen? I had the GS.com receipt. He saw it but he still refused. He's a moron.

So what is he supposed to do with the games?
Against policy to return sealed games with a receipt? What are you talking about?

I went in there to sell my spare iPod touch in order to get some money to buy MW3 (ontop of picking up my copy of UMVC3 that I reserved).
First off, I have a close friend that works at the GS closest to me. I was hoping to see her there, so that I can get my mack on, but instead I see this fat greasy asshole with the hairiest neck was standing behind the counter. He had the nerve to tell me that they "ran out of copies". Fucker we all know UMVC3 ain't no hotcakes, they damn well had spare copies. I tell him that I had a copy reserved, to which he responds with a grunt. A grunt? Really bro? Really? Don't you know who I am? Bitches off the chain like Harriet Tubmayne. He then asks his co-worker to get a copy from under the counter. In the mean while, I can smell the bitchy-ness on him. I decide to myself, "this asshole isn't worth it. I might as well finish my business and get on my way as soon as possible. Hell, I probably already fucked his bitch." In all my disgust, I manage to say "I also have this iPod that I'm looking to sell. I heard you guys are buying those, right?" His co-worker say "yeah, we most definitely are."
"Alright, cool. Here's my 8 GB 1st-Gen."
He checked his chart, and told me it would be worth $70, like I fucking knew.
Here's where the shit hits the fan.
Remember that fat, oily birgin from earlier. He butts in and says "LET ME TAKE A GANDER AT THE IPOD."
He snatches it from his co-workers hand and begins to thoroughly inspect my iPod, as if it was an unconscious hooker who mysteriously appeared on his bed. After a long intense examintion, the most creepish grin sprouts on his face. It looks as if he was being pleasured sexually by a promiscuous whore of his caliber.
"...no."
Me and his co-worker hesitant look at each other, in an attempt to clarify that he both heard the same thing.
"What did you say bruh? Repeat that 1 more time, I didn't hear you properly. You said "no" what"
"..,,NO.., good."
I motion towards him, as if I were going to force him to speak in a tone similar to my likings.
"NO WHAT??"
"BUENO!...
...YOUR PRODUCT IS NO GOOD HERE!! SEE HERE, LOOK AT THIS!!"
He's pointing to the back of my iPod Touch. At first glance I wasn't comprehending his motives, I couldn't see what he was trying to point out to me. I shifted my weight to one foot, as I grew tired of standing in this filthy man-childs environment. It was then that I realized, as the light was reflecting off of the chrome back of my iPod Touch. There was a minor dent in the back of it. When I say minor, I'm talking "sex with a kindergartener" minor. So minor that I, the owner of the iPod, was unaware of it's existence.
I am in awe.
"Are you serious?"
I quickly look towards his co-worker for confirmation. He unwillingly nods his head in agreement with his overweight basement dwelling counterpart. I can't believe what has just transpired.
I quickly grab my copy of UMVC3 and head towards the door. The flabby clerk, in the midst of a euphoric bliss, cockily screams towards me, "SIR, YOU FORGOT YOUR CHANGE."
I say, "Nah, it's for you. Use it to buy some self-decency, and a shirt that fits." His co-worker laughs accidentally, and the neckbearded man looks down in shame.
I then proceeded to drive home and play some Marvel.
It wasn't until now that I realized that Gamestop never asked me if I wanted to pre-order anything else. FUCKING GAMESTOP.

Any idea why they do this? I don't really see how this would benefit them. All it tells me is that there's a possibility they won't have a popular game in stock next time I go there.

GS Employee #1: "What game?"

GS Employee #1: "I'm sorry, you can't return it. We only take returns on used games."
Me: "I can't return a new, factory-sealed game?"
GS Employee #1: "Yeah, my manager says we can't take new returns."
Me: "It says here I have 30 days to return new merchandise." (show him back of receipt)
GS Employee #1: (to GS Employee #2) "He wants to return this game. What do you think?"
GS Employee #2: "Do the return."
Couldn't f'ing believe the bs.
EDIT: Just saw LiK's experience. heh, and I was returning my game to the same store I bought it from.

I forgot to pre-order Metroid: Other M (yeah, shoot me now) because I just moved back for college so I called up the closest Gamestop to see if I could secure the pre-order bonus even though it was days before the release.
The worker told me that he would give me the pre-order bonus right there and then if I could make it there in 10 minutes and do the transaction with him.
I went to dinner.

the guys at the last two gamestops i lived by have been pretty cool. the one i went to up in tallahassee is hit or miss. i got an opened but new copy of bf3, but the cd key worked so i couldn't be too upset.
here at home, i have gone at open for the release of the last few DS Pokemon games and both times the same guy opened, and was upset he had to open and couldn't play pokemon
they do so you can tell your friend "this was the last copy, man" and they rush to preorder a copy from the next restock thinking it's super-popular
or at least, that would be my reasoning if I were a rep .D

No, I was responding to the Chung-Li story.
One of the employees at my local GS said "Hi" to me.
Every single one of those employees knows I'm there to do some hard business, not to shoot the shit and be social. Then there's this goofball who was probably new or some shit.
He'll learn...

Have never had a problem with them. If they pressure me to buy something I don't want, I just say no.

They aren't allowed to take returns of multiple games at once because of the possibility they are stolen. It's not impossible to forge a receipt either. I'm sure a manager could have done it, but if the guy is just a grunt Game Advisor, he's just going to do what he's told and follow corporate policy. The guy at the second store was either a manager or a DGAF Game Advisor.
I've heard the "fighting games are so stupid, what fun is it to just memorize button combinations and spam them"

Trying to sell me a 'new' game at full price without the case. Maybe it sticks out because it's happened several times.
they really pimp out those Pokemon releases, its awesome.
back in 2006, my GS was opening at 8am on a Sunday morning for Diamond and Pearl. I had both pre-ordered, so I showed up around 7:45, and they let me in early.
I walked out with so much free shit. styluses, a strategy guide and the official Pokedex book, a couple posters, and some more stuff I've already forgotten. they treated me like a king that day
Trying to get me to buy a game for five bucks less with a Gamestop case.
That'll be four bucks baby, YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT?
my friend said a guy working in game (uk version) asked him after he had placed a preorder, "do you want fries with that"
probably bs

Weird that some stores still do the "opened new copy" thing. I haven't seen that in years. My copy of Oblivion is like that.

As far as I know their policy is that they wont allow returns for new games WITHOUT a receipt. The clerk on this case was probably
either uninformed or an asshole who wanted to fuck the customer over.

Former GameStop employee here. Want time I went to my old store (which I had heard had gone to the dogs since I left) looking for a copy of Super Street Fighter IV. I asked my former ASM if they had one, and the new manager comes over and says, "What's he looking for? Super Street Fighter Three?"
THREE? FFS.
THREE? FFS.
soulsilver release was funny because a group of guys i knew from school literally camped out for it. i got there around 7:45, and there they were out there, no one was in the store, and the guy opening had just showed up and was laughing
Do you work at GS or something? If someone bought more than one copy of game and had a receipt, they can't simply return it without a manager or whatever advisor you're talking about? Why would they consider it stolen if I had a receipt which clearly shows multiple quantities were shipped?
Anyway, gonna forward your comments to a Gaffer who's a GS manager and see if this is true.
We have EB Games in Australia. Same thing really.
Anyway it was 2005 and I was told by two employees who basically surrounded me in the GBA corner that the Gamecube is a huge flop and a commercial failure and that Nintendo were going software only next-gen.
I think that was the last time I visited a GAAAAMURRR franchise.

Bullshit policies like this, + needing id to return games + selling opened games as new + having employees try to sell me shit I don't want when all I want to do is cash out is the reason I don't shop at gs anymore. Especially when I don't deal with this with any other store.
He just left. WITH NUTS

The only policy like this that I remember is that we couldn't take sealed games as trade ins.
Which made sense to a degree, given we were right by a Wal-mart, and would have people come in with 2-3 copies of the same game and no receipt. But it would've been nice to have some discretion when doing stuff like that.
Well hey, I guess receipts are useless at their stores.

I've become good friends with a particular GameStop manager, whom I adore, through doing a lot of purchases and filling out a gajillion surveys for her store...I also regularly buy or preorder games every week or so...
So I go and pick up my reserved Dragons Dogma in May. See a newer employee I've never seen before:
Me: I'd like to pick up my Dragons Dogma for 360
Her: I see there's a demo for Resident Evil 6, did you want to preorder the game?
Me: I already have it Pre-ordered.
