Are they nice? How should I know... I don't talk to them, really. They seem ok, I guess. They give pretty crappy advice on video games though.

Yes, they do. None seem to be real gamers.

Patience is a virtue. Especially when waiting a few days means you can save lots of money in the process.

What do you expect? They sell Video Games for a living. It's not like their minds are overwhelmed with the wonderful career opportunities that come with working at Game stop. And if they are not adults regretting their dead end career choices they are kids. Well we all know kids are just rude to people simply because they can be. "You have a Wii?! Pfff get out of here with your loser contraption, loser."

The behavior and the attitude comes with the circumstances.

Not really for a new game. It's usually cheaper to buy my used games one ebay anyway.

The "kids" at my local one aren't like that. They were talking to this parent about the wiis child protection stuff that made me literally facepalm, very nice doing so. Not everyone is rude.

I never buy new anyways (As a testament to this, I just picked up Borderlands and Fallout 3 this year), so that's why I save. As for ebay being cheaper, I have no idea, as I've never used it (and probably never will).

I live in a college town, so all the employees are young and very chill.

Usually have a conversation with whoever is working whenever I go in.

There's probably five Gamestops within 30 minutes of my house although we're surrounded by farms/homesteads. All of them have pretty decent employees.

The one here I use to go to had nice employees until one of the managers got transferred to the other Gamestop or something. Since then they've all acted like they are superior or something.

Definitely.

I once asked a woman around here (Northern Virginia area, near Maryland) if there were any stores that sold old school games and consoles.

She not only gave me a straight answer, she pointed me to another business that was not related to Gamestop.

I've never had any problem with Gamestop, I've never once experienced bad customer service.

They're nice about it, even if they don't really wanna be there on occasion.

Pretty knowledgable as well, thankfully.

They're nice at my local store. This one guy held the only copy of Blur on Thursday when it was $5, after we had talked for 20 minutes the day before while getting the previous day's deal.

Yeah, the one I go to are pretty friendly, but when I used to have a Game Crazy near me, THAT was my favorite place to go. The dude there... I don't know how he did it, but he learned EVERYONE'S names! Photographic memory or something, but being greeted by my name every time I walked in the door was just awesome.

Eh, I get the feeling that just because they work at a videogame store, they think I actually care about their opinion on games.
