So the last time I was in a GS, a few weeks ago to see if i could find anything decent for some used sale they had going. I happened to find the Korg DS-10 "new" and picked it up.
The checkout process took about 20 minutes longer than it should have. There's only two guys there, both behind the counter doing small tasks like placing price stickers or something, and they're talking to eachother. The store wasn't busy so i could understand to employees wanting to shoot the **** while doing their jobs, and i'm fine with it. But did it really take 5 mins of me standing at the counter kinda just staring down the guy directly in front of me to get rung up?
How about how it took 15 mins for him to find the game because he never stopped his discussion with the other employee there and stood 5ft away (and still directly in my line of sight) rummaging through a locked drawer without even looking inside of it, was THAT necessariy? It looked like he was trying to pick a game out of a hat for a raffle or something. His eyes were looking at everything BUT the drawer he had his hands in while i stood there with my girlfriend just staring at him in disbelief and also wondering if the parking meter would expire on us..
When he finally finds the damn game he walks back, still talking to the other employee and stops to tell me my total, then goes back to the conversation as i go in my wallet and get out exact change for him (not to make his job easier either, but so i can just get my reciept and walk away). Somehow this still took longer than it needed to be. He counted the money, well rather, pretended to by shuffling it in his hands, but he never once looked down to see the bills because he kept on going with his conversation. He shuffled my money back and forth numerous times as if he was being thurough but only really counted it once. He stopped before putting my money in the register and said "oh... do you have a gamestop card?" and interupted me as i was giving him an answer and said "would you like to pre-order anything" and i just laughed and kindly declined, then shook my head discretely at my gf.
20 mins just to ring up one game, and i even gave them exact change to make it all a smoother process.. did i mention that their conversation regarded another employee there and how BAD he was at his job?
