GameStop

I went in to GameStop around 11 a.m.today to trade in a few games, hoping to be in and out. When I walked into the store there was only one employee working with no customers. I approached the counter, got my games down and said "I would like to trade it these in". The dude took a quick glance at what I was trading, then said he had to check one of them for authenticity. (which I was totally cool with, I already knew the reason why; the games are so popular they get pirated a lot.)

What I wasn't cool with was the 20some minutes of having to stand and wait while this "GameStop" employee had to get ahold of what I'm guessing was a manager (he never told me, I never asked) on the phone to walk him through a checklist (at this point he had three 3DS and his hand playing my game) of what to look for. It took some time, eventually another customer walked in. I started to feel embarrassed, here I am standing there, and him on the phone loudly discussing is my game is fake or not. I'm starting to get irritated and walked over to the display case to see if they had 1 of the games in stock so he can compare the two. They had a couple of them and I mentioned it and sorta got blown off as he continued to mees with the DS and talk on the phone.

Either he got the all-clear to go ahead and continue the transaction cause it's legit, or got told to just accept it and it'll get looked at later because he's taking too much time. (I knew for sure my game was legit. I could spot a fake a mile away without even having to play it.) I was so irritated that the extremely insulting low offer that I got after all that didn't even bother me. I just took the $26 and left the store. Online one of my games go for $45, and the other two go for roughly 25$. Bad business. This guy works at GameStop. He should know at least how to do this sort of thing; even more so the only employee working shift by themselves at GameStop should be knowledgeable of this sort of stuff. This isn't an isolated event either, I've had other times (at this store, and others) where my time was wasted because a GameStop employee didn't know how to do their jobs. For all the low-ball offers GameStop gives you'd think it'd make sure to back it up with having skilled...

Cold and uninviting. Went in to see if they had a copy of kingdom come deliverence. There was one girl behind the counter working alone. She was helping a customer when I walked in, looked up at me, but didn't even say hello.

I walked around the store to see if they had a box for it. She finished up helping her customers. They left. I continued to walk around. She walked straight passed me into her back room. Came back out straight passed me and picked up the phone. The entire time I was in there I didn't get so much as an acknowledgement that I was alive.

I'll go buy it from Best buy with my gamers club card and get 20% off despite it being a little more of a drive. If I'm not going to be acknowledged it may as well be in a store that is larger with a lot more people in it, and makes it easier to find everything. And even they say hello when I walk...

Obviously if you're looking to buy a game this is the place you should go but do your own research on what games you want to buy, because the people that work there will do nothing but try and up sell you the newest most popular most expensive stupid game that they have instead of giving you something that you already asked for obviously if you wanna buy games by AM here but do yourself a favor and research what you wanna buy 1st cause these people clearly are peed off of what games they sell and they don't really care what works for your...
