Has anybody noticed the staff at Gamestop are almost always douchebags? It's like part of their application process for some reason. I was there looking for an older PS2 game when an old lady came in with her grandson and said "We just bought a new Xbox 360, do we need any special attachments to hook it up to my TV?"

The guy behind the counter is like "Yeah you need this Monster brand HDMI cord." Which is 2 times more expensive than normal basic HDMI, and the human eye can't detect the difference between high end and standard HDMI and they know that. She bought it without question, and asked for a game her grandson wanted out of the used section. This guy had the nerve to tell her she would be better off with the new one instead of the used one, and told her to buy the insurance on it.

I just stood there looking at this guy as he gave me a look like "She has no idea so I'm taken advantage of her." I just shook my head in disapproval and walked out, as she came out I just couldn't contain myself and stopped her. I'm like "Y'know that guy just ripped you off, your 360 came with RCA cords that would've worked just fine to play on your TV." She's like "Oh really?, I wonder why he would've sold me this expensive cord than?"

I said " It gets better, the used game would have been just fine. You spent $30 more than you needed to on that game, and the insurance really was a waste too." She was like, " I wonder how often they scam people like me?" I told her she should go ask for her money back, but as I was leaving I seen she just got in her car and pulled away. So either she didn't believe me, or was too embarrassed to do anything about it.

So Gamestop instead of hiring douchebags that act like they're better than everybody that walks through the door, Why don't you do a personality check on the people you hire? How about you quit ripping off people that aren't tech savvy too, Because I would say you make enough money on people who trade in a game they paid $60 for and you only give them $20 in credit and turn around just to sell it for $55.

Anybody else experience stuff like this? I can't be the only one who has witnessed the complete BS this company is capable of.
