A picture of a Gamestop storage room:



This generally happens in Gamestops that used to be EB's. EB's had a much lower stock level than Software ETC/Gamestops, so when the companies merged and EB's started to get a LOT more product while keeping the same small backrooms- this is what happened. All Gamestops that are newly opened actually have an entirely separate room dedicated just for systems.

Wait, GP shops at the Gamestop where Dirk shops? How do they both know the same Amanda clerk?

Furthermore, GP is in Washington. Dirk is in New Hampshire. Pap is in Puerto Rico. Smash Bros is in Alaska. Athena is in King of Fighters. HOW DO YOU ALL SHOP FACE TO FACE AT THE SAME GAMESTOP?

It's just like how all of the fighters gather together in Soul Calibur. It is a shopping trip for souls and swords.

Let me make this clearer for everyone.

GP is in Washington. I am in Puerto Rico. Dirk, SB and Athena live in New Hampshire. The reason I have shopped at Athena's shop is because I went to visit them in New Hampshire in the summer of 2007.

And if I am not mistaken, Dirk first met SB last year when Athena threw a Brawl release party at her store.

I have yet to meet Dirk in real life nor GP so we have never shopped at the same store.

Though Athena's post about Dirk shopping there threw me off completely...

That's just disgusting and unsanitary.

Does a PS3 really use enough power to electrocute you like that? ;)

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?

My hatred still burns.

On a related note, my favorite is when somebody is ringing you up and they're on the phone with one of their friends having a personal conversation, and they don't even have the common courtesy to put their friend on hold...they just keep talking to their friend all the way through the transaction.  That's a classic right there.

I went to the supermarket earlier and she was sitting there with her hands in the till fiddling. When i got around the other side to leave, she wasn't fiddling but texting on her blackberry.

Texting while talking to someone is just plain rude. Even worse when you are riding with a friend supposedly having a deep and intimate conversation when the car suddenly swerves and you look over to see she's texting her roommate while driving. Was she even listening to me? I don't think so. :P
