Yeah I know… hence why I never bothered picking up the Dreamcast import (and therefore more expensive) version in the first place.

You forgot the part where Joe was talking to me, about you, when I said we were dating, and he gave me a big smile & said “Bless you, girl.”

The Tisch one. A guy who used to work at the now defunct Video Gamesters was a clerk there… he was one of the few decent game store employees I’ve known. He’s not there anymore is seems. The two kids on Tuesday night really did seem like nerded, WoW-versions of Beavis & Butthead.

Speaking as a person who has experience as a sales person, I can tell you that the folks at EBs and Gamestops do pretty much everything wrong when it comes to the art of salesmanship. Not saying I was some master sales person, but I did pretty damn well for myself, and it doesn’t take a genius to know that you just don’t nag customers with the same damn questions over and over again, or try to sell them shit that they obviously don’t want. Not having a condescending attitude with the customer’s interests and being upfront when you don’t know something, but with an air of grace and humility, also goes a long way.

I really liked this entry.

I really hate Gamestop too. They keep hassling me to get there damn Gamestop card and “free subscription”. Last time I went in was to get a copy of Ninja Gaiden Black and a preorder of Gunstar Super Heroes by trading in some of my games. Some new guy was working there and he kept hassling me so much that I forgot my driver’s license because I was so pissed off. I didn’t realize that I left it there until a week later when I was carded because some of my acquaintances were buying cigarettes. I called Gamestop but they said they didn’t have my ID, so I had to go pay 10 bucks and get another.

Also, thanks for reminding me about Chaos Field, I need to preorder that.
