What the fuck. Is this something GameStop is doing now? Spreading misinformation in order to curb digital sales? Has anyone else had this experience?
You respond to “hey, what’s up bro?” with just “hey”? Are you autistic, or severely socially inept?
Xavier Ortiz
You should report that on the survey.
Joshua Myers
>enabling any kind of conversation You deserved it
Carter Wright
cool story brony
Carson Gonzalez
Next time tell him you already own it digitally and you want to own it physically as well.
Levi Carter
Should have told him you planned on getting the next xbox
William Russell
I assume you mean the reverse of this.
Landon Smith
>implying "hey, what's up bro" isn't a way more autistic way to just say hello

what a fucking dump. how are they still in business?
Lincoln Richardson
He should've been "EXCUSE ME, IM AN AGENDER FAIRY FOX, "BRO""
Nathan Miller

Wyatt Davis
best way to get someone fired? Tell them they called you a nigger and it was unprofessional as fuck
Cooper Moore
Gamestop has always been like this. They were a big reason as to the spreading of the myth that the 'real' seventh gen consoles were Xbox and Playstation and that the Wii was a baby's toy.
Cameron Lewis
Yeah, I'm retarded.
David Rogers
What do you mean? I visited gamestop a lot during 7th gen and I never heard anything about the wii being considered a toy
Evan Wood
>Buying digital We don't have proper legislation for that.
Jacob Bell
Its probably just management at OPs store but I wouldn't be surprised if something like this was coming down from corporate.
If so they'd probably commend the guy.
Charles Myers
>not helping brick and mortar stores Soon amazon will corner the entire market and then start fucking your ass and you will have nowhere to run.
Jordan Ramirez
You should have known they don’t carry PC games you dumb nigger. Even 10 years ago they had next to zero inventory for PC.
Chase Lee
I say howdy
Jaxon Morris
>actually waited Would have just left desu
Jason King
>helping GameStop
William Williams
I buy my games from local big box grocery store. Fuck specialty gaming stores.
Nathaniel Mitchell
>buy games >2019 Y tho
Caleb Myers
I don't know why anyone bothers with consoles, you're slaved to a platform that can go poof at any moment, can't buy used games, can only play the company games, and the graphics aren't ever even as good as what actual computers can achieve
it's like gimping yourself, and paying 300% the market value to do it
Bentley Wright
You should have left, you cuckold.
Colton Howard
everything here is wrong except the thing about graphics
Austin Ward
>can't buy used games implying PC can, trash argument

Xavier Cook
What kinda bullshit rumors would you spread if you worked at a game store?
Yell to her that you're leaving and to watch your own kid. Then call the cops on her if she doesn't come back.
Aaron Kelly
Lads theres a cute skinny emo girl working at my local gamestop. I want to ask her out but she looks really shy (I am too)... what do?
Sebastian King
>responding to "bro" talk with someone you don't even know with anything more than a standard greeting I would feel like a goodamn faggot if I responded with anything more than a "hey" or "hello." "Bro" talk is fucking ridiculous and is more than sufficient for ridicule.
Gamestop customer service is the worst. They wont give you shit for complaining like most companies. I got em back by saying a $90 order went missing tho ss paybacks :)
Sebastian Nguyen
as a man from the midwest, i can confirm that howdy is indeed midwestern
Liam Moore
>Psst hey kid. I just got a list from our distro. It has BTOW on the nexbox. Spread the word
Christian Roberts
I don't ever recall anyone saying howdy in minnesota
Dominic Murphy
>too autistic to say "nothing much how bout you?" That's kinda sad dude I've lived in the midwest my whole life no it fucking isn't. Midwest doesn't even have a discernible dialect that's why everyone on TV talks like us.
John Powell
>"Nope. Just physical"
I know this cant be true but i so wish it was, Fuck Digital
David Kelly
As someone working in a grocery store, people like you are the fucking worst. I'm actually autistic and speaking to customers is awkward and uncomfortable for me. The most I say is "hey" and "have a good day"
Nathaniel Wilson
>not just saying, "Hey kid, lock this door when I leave."
Hunter Rogers
I started saying howdy as a joke. Dont ever do anything as a joke
Lucas Sullivan
i prefer physical if both are same price
Angel Thompson
>hey kid, I got some keys for that game in the back, cheaper than noodles, cash only, what do you say?
Asher Jackson
Ask her
Caleb Thomas
Fuck gamestop, but do people actually believe Sony is gonna make their ps4 digital games backwards compatible and not use a disc only excuse so people rebups4? Digital on ps5?
Holy shit I would have called corporate that second. This is horrible. I know you're a spaghettilord, but if you can't manage a phone you could at least fucking scram to teach that bitch a horrifying lesson.
Julian Miller
>rebups4?
Meant to say rebuy. Have no idea how I typed that and still managed to hit post like a retard.
Julian Cox
Jesus, I would. Who gives a fuck about your dumb kid. She's the dumb mom who queefed it out and left it unattended.
Nathaniel Cooper
I'll always remember my gamestop story >how's it going how can I help you >Yes, I'm looking to see if you have a stylus for the 3DS? >okay sure one moment >walks to his counter >what system is that on?
Joshua Taylor
Real talk guys. As much as I dislike GameStop, I want to trade in my PS4 Slim 500GB for credit towards a Switch.
Should I? I don't want to go thru the hassle of selling it on Craigslist (though I've done that before and the buyer was great), or eBay with all the shipping crap. I could get $160 for it at BearStop.
>tfw the zoomers of Yea Forums probably don't get why I called it GameStop
Boomers say howdy in Ohio, but it's falling out of favor with the younger generations.
Daniel Nelson
>call the cops
1. I don't need to deal with having to file witness statements and testifying in court 2. It's a stupid fucking risk to take. What if the cops come back and the mom makes up shit that I scared her off trying to molest her kid or something?
Ethan Foster
Maybe in a year or two, wait for the Switch library to expand a bit.
Cameron Harris
only do it if you have either a pc or a bone as an alternative main platform
Luis Nguyen
>"I'm not really planning on buying a PS5 to be honest" Here's your joker card for next time. You're welcome
Mason Robinson
As if the PS4 would just stop existing once the PS5 comes out
Josiah Robinson
>implying you'll ever see that woman again if you left and never came back
Yea that sound bull shit. You made the right choice op
Caleb Richardson
KEK OLD BITCH
Dylan Miller
It's not marketing, he's just retarded.
It's like me on Black Friday.
>go in to get free 360 >look at other consoles on the way out >"HEY LOOK WE HAVE A BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE PS3 >look at the cabinet >"uhh it's not, that's an 80GB model" >NO LOOK AT IT DUDE >"I am, it's an 80GB with four USB ports, that's not backwards compatible" >"oh....you have a good day sir"
Ryder Barnes
I want to do this to my standard Xbox One just so I can get a prepaid card for some shit I actually want. I got it while my PC was in the shop but now I know how to repair my own computer so I have no use for waiting consoles.
Never trade in hardware at Gamestop. Individual games are harder to sell so trade those in generally. But the consoles sell super easily. You probably could get $180-200 on Craiglist.

Levi Perry

what are you a faggot?
Dylan Martinez
>go to mall >go to Gamestop with intent of buying old game >nothing but Funko shit and nothing I’m looking for >leave Gamestop >go to bookstore & food court and blow my money meant for vidya on biography books & crappy chicken teriyaki Fucking Gamestop. I’m gonna miss my mall when they inevitably shut down in the online shopping generation. Shit felt like a culture hub growing up, now it’s just nothing but tacky designer clothes, fucking Gamestop, and Starbucks.
