Wait a second, if she works at GameStop then what's the deal with the Dirk Temporo quote in her signature? Some sort of irony?

I think she was mocking him. It was a stupid statement not to mention offensive.

I dunno about ya'll, but I don't like GameStop because I continuously have BAD EXPERIENCE IN GAMESTOP. And it's not the employees, who are very nice at the GS in the mall by my house, it's their policies, pricing, and occassional sloth ("yeah we've got that game." *drives over* "Oh, wait, no we don't. Sorry.").
This would be my PSN Trophy Card, but I guess I can't post HTML in my Signature. I'm the pixel spaceship, and I have nine Gold trophies.

To be perfectly honest, even though I disagree with their policies and won't deny anyone else's bad experiences in the times that I've been shopping at Gamestop I've yet to encounter an event so bad that I vowed to never shop there again. I can only recall two bad moments but were minimal.

The first was when me and SB went to buy Twilight Princess and we encountered a huge ass line of people, something that according to him must be normal to Puertorican Gamestops. But even if there were around three employees working the counter there was still a huge amount of people there.

The other time was when I went to pick up my nephew's game. I had called to see if they had the game and they said yes. I went to pick it up and they said that while they had received the game they hadn't put any copies up for sale, meaning that if it wasn't for me asking for my copy they wouldn't have put the game up for sale.

So other than those two times I've been lucky. Either American Gamestops suck overall or Puertorican Gamestops know how to do things right *shrugs.

GP I was joking. But if you were to open such a store, and held "game discussing sessions", you'd need to charge a membership fee or something, otherwise all of womyn would talk you out of business. I'm still joking. I think.

Yes, it was a mocking irony. I feel kinda bad, actually, because Dirk has shopped at my store.

I hope you aren't the *expletive* that he is speaking of. Not that you are a *expletive*, but in reference to what he is saying in the.... ahhh you know what I'm saying.

I most certainly am not an *expletive*, to anyone who comes into my store. Well, maybe to the regular customer who is a pathological liar that comes in and says he was part of the Irish Mafia in Boston, and used to have Christmas dinner with "Whitey" Bulger.

But besides that, I'm totally nice, and I am extremely knowledgeable!

While you are very obviously not in the group of bitches I'm talking about, you know Ashley and you know she did NOT get that job due to any professional qualifications, and I see girls exactly like her in almost all the Gamestops I've been to.

Reasons for employment at Gamestop and most businesses in general depends on the manager (unless you have a corporate policy on hiring certain people). Each store is different, while one store may hire girls because of their looks (which I still find to a ridiculous and asinine statement considering many of the guys can be inept at stores like Gamestop too. Were they hired because of their looks to?), a manager like Scott hires people depending on their personality and qualifications which is why most of the employees are extremely good there. Amanda definitely wasn't hired for eye candy, she isn't ugly but far from being beautiful, she has a very tomboyish look about her (not that that is a bad thing). The fact is that she is awesome at her job and is more then capable, as I'm sure Athena is as well.

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.

Bob would never forgive me. Well actually he might. I just go there because I've always gone there, and in the last two years, because I work there.
