TalkBack / Re: A Nintendo World Report Christmas Story

I don't think I've ever actually posted on the forums before - but I just had to, here.
Pap64, on behalf of a majority of retail workers (Though maybe not the GS workers at that store): thanks. I worked retail for nearly a decade before branching out into web development. I was across all levels, too: From maintenance to cashier to manager to... everything in between. This time of year is madness when you're working it and it sucks not being able to help every customer find the perfect gift. When you're on the clock, though - and I should clarify that I never worked at a game specialty store - your goal is to get people in, out and on their way as fast as possible. It's not a fun situation.
While people coming in and offering free advice like that at the stores I worked at, it WAS rare. But it was also appreciated.
I think I'll head out today, despite it being Christmas eve, and see if a store or two could use my help. I've got no plans anyway.
Thanks for sharing.
