I used to work for them years ago. It's part of the job for them to bug you and we were often incentivized to do it when I was there. Maybe she was overzealous in her sales pitch, but you gotta understand that's just the way they operate. You are more than welcome to take your business online where you aren't pressured by a games advisor :).

One time though I was pissed because I bought something and I didn't notice they gave me a gutted copy until I got home, and I had to take it back to get a new game, and I said I was angry they gave me a gutted copy. One time I went in to buy a copy of Medal of Honor Airborne and the guy was telling me how bad it was and I shouldn't play it. He was trying to convince me to buy other games and I was like I played all those, that's why I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel playing the cheaper games I passed up. He was still adamant that I shouldn't play it then he says they have no copies, and he didn't appear to check. I suspect he was such a snob about what I should and shouldn't play that he wouldn't sell it to me, and just the thought of that pissed me off. One time I got pissed because my pre-order item never came, so they told me they'd call when it came in, so I didn't hear back after a week I called them back, they said they'd call me back in a few days and same thing. I got pissed and emailed corporate and they sent it to me but damn I shouldn't have to go through the trouble. GameStop generally pisses me off because they never keep new copies of older games, if I'm lucky all they'll have is a gutted copy, they want you to buy used. If a game has recently come out that's about the extent of their utility. Yet, I go to them. They are everywhere. Just depends on what I want. Buying online is great though, better deals on Amazon a lot of the time, especially when you're looking for those hard to find games. I'm not such a huge fan of Ebay, did use it to get some hard to find games at a good price but did get scammed for $40 once and getting my money back was an ordeal that last several weeks.

[QUOTE="lowe0"]I think the worst interaction I ever had in a Gamestop was the girl who kept squeezing her boobs together to try to get me to subscribe to Game Informer. And they weren't even all that great of boobs, as evidenced by my lack of a subscription to Game Informer.menes777

Was your wife standing right beside you too? :P

No. Although my buddy was, and she went right to work on him as soon as she struck out with me.  It was like watching one of those fish that sucks the scum off the side of a fishtank.

I know it's hard for you to socialize with people TC, it's simple just say "not today" or "I don't feel like pre ordering anything".

So hard to do

Happened to me when i went to purchase TLOU as well except the guy was spamming me for minutes about their 50% Sony headphones. Im not annoyed by it tho, i smiled at his face (showing my superior male dominance!!) and walked out the store while he was still talking to me and looking at my back. Be polite when you go buy crap in gamestop, ignore those b*tches :)

I hear you TC, Many employees at Gamestop are f*king pushy. Like the girl who worked at Gamestop where I last visited, she cheerfully greeted me as if I was her old friend, and then she's trying to convince me to pre-order tales of Xillia, I politely refused but she kept talking about it. I was annoyed but I said I had a huge backlog (well, it's a lie) just to make her stop. It worked. She did stop and said:'It's OK and blah blah ...." Buty she looked really disappointed lol didn't say "thank you" when when she handed the game I bought to me.

Meh, frack Amazon. Not worth the 5-8 day wait (free shipping) or spending money on shipping and handling which just makes it unnecessary money spending. I use to shop from Amazon A LOT while I was working in the middle of BFN in Wyoming, when the closes place that sold a game was 100 miles away.

Just went to Gamestop yesterday.

Walked into store and went to counter
Ask for game
Asked if I wanted any preorders with that
Say no, pay, leave.
Return later cause I wanted a different game instead, didn't open the one I bought earlier
Get exchange, walk out

How do people have so many issues with Gamestop?

Simple. You're lucky. I understand that they try to sell products but being pushy is bad for customers.

I stopped going there along time ago. Boycott their ass and send that store back to the stone age. I use Bestbuy for all my games and limited editions etc. If I dont end up getting a limited edition or whatnot the next gen, i will just download the digital copy.

It's not just customers they harass, they do the same with publishers for exclusive pre-order DLC.

Very lame practices, you made the right decision to stop supporting them.

The problem is that even though you said No, many employees keep talking, trying to make you preorder it.

Yeah I understand that, that was why I was not rude but gosh damn it annoyed the hell out of me. I know gamestop puts them up to get as much preorders as possible, but this was on the border line of begging and harassing.

It's their jobs to push preorders and reservations you shouldn't blame the employee's because management forces it onto them or shows them the door. That being said you should go to Bestbuy, despite what people whine about I never have a problem there and my local store is really friendly.

I'm sure its not her fault. She's being pressured by her superiors, I'm sure of it. Its happening to me aswell
