Gamestop sales people are pushy and annoying

Ok....so i go to Gamestop today to pick up a 3 month subscription to xbox live and get a new mic. So i ask for the 3 month card and a mic and he tells me "well for only $30 more u get a 12 month subscription and a mic." I say no thanks( i only have enough on me for a mic and 3 month card). Then he goes on a 10 min rant on how i'm passing up on a terrific deal and how he thinks its a "no brainer". After 10 mins of harrasment he tries to sell me an EBedge card. Once again this is a "no brainer" sayin ill save %15 blah blah blah....finally i get really irrated and tell him to shut up and give me the products i payed for. God, why do they have to be so damn pushy....just give me the friggin thing i payed for.

P.S.

If u are a gamestop salesman i mean no offense by this...unless you're one of those pushy a-holes

lol yeah they are like that. They do hassle too much, but , Its their job thats all. They probaly get paid commission on that stuff or something. Cell phone salespersons are even worse:(

There's no need to act like a child. A simple "no thank you" will suffice.Oleg_Huzwog

Not at gamestop....i said no probably around 7x...apparently you dont do much shopping there

This whole post and topic title became a contradiction with that P.S.

I've met a couple, but most are either stiffs or cool, friendly, and relaxed.

One time I went in there to buy a few new games totalling around $120. When I get to the counter, the salesman says how those games suck (Metroid Prime 3 and Bioshock) and says I should get some licensed crap instead (I don't remember what it was). I said no and he persisted so I just walked out of the store without buying anything and saying I would just get them at the Target across the parking lot. When walking out the store, I looked back and the guy had a look like I just stole his money. I loved it and Target actually cost me less money. Aparenly Gamestop people get paid by commision or something.Food_Nipple

Then why are they so obsessed with trying to get people to spend more money?

lol

they might get commission..everytime i go in there the sales guy always tells me to get a used card thing or w/e to make games cheaper lol

I place product on desk near register.

GS Employee: Did you find everything you were looking for?

Me: Yep.

GS: Did you want to preorder anything today?

Me: Nah, I'm all set. Thanks.

GS: Ok, that'll be $52.49.

That is what happens upwards of 90% of the time...And I've been shopping by myself at GS and EB for over 8 years.

I don't know why a lot of people have so many problems...just politely decline if you don't want it. And don't give them an attitude, unless you want one back.

Yeah, its like when someone starts working there they lose all concept of what the word obnoxious means. Either that or they just dont care. This strategy is probably costing them more business than making it. waltw_84

certainly agree. I get so disgusted by the harrassment.

What is commission? Sorry, but I don't know.hydralisk86

Commissions are bonuses that salespeople get forsellingitems for a company. For instance, if they sell a 300$ console they may get an extra 10$ in their pay check for each one sold.

I guess you're too young to know that it's their job to act like that. Oh well.B05T0N

Im 19.....old enough to realize you can be a salesman w/o being an absoulte a-hole..when i say no i mean no. You dont have to ask me 19x if im sure or not

wow..

THEY DONT GET COMMISSION!!!

Its just pressure from their manager/boss....anybody can sit behind a register and cash people out, so its not like the manager is gonna have a hard time finding employees....

They look for the employees that can bring in the most money....so if an employee isnt getting all of these extra sales....then whats the point of them being there? And they risk the chance of being fired.....so they try really hard to sell all that extra stuff...

Yes its annoying...no its not their choice to be like that...its just they dont want to get fired...

Are you guys like 11? Its a company....not a place to service your needs

Salespersons are just doing what management want them to do, its just their jobs. If you really have a big problem with it, take it out on the manager and not the clerk.

Good management generally realises that customer service is usually more profitable than pushy salesmanship. Customer service will bring in long term and loyal customers, which is better than a one time [pissed off]customer who bought some add-on merchandise.

If you just said "I dont have enough money :|" then it would all have been fine.

Simple, tell him you'll buy it but only give him the money that you originally planned to spend, then if he dosn't accept it ask him y it's such an amazing deal if you end up spending more for something you don't want

I didnt "have" to make this thread. And why an i not going far in life if i made a thread complaining about Gamestop? Your logic is flawed and you quite frankly have no point. BTW judging by your avatar you're a fellow Red Sox fan...are you going to the parade tomorrow? I am
