i fucking hate gamestop

This is like Barnes and Noble for gamers. Once the employees see that you have outstayed their five minute tolerance, they are chasing you out of the store.

GAMESTOP IS DYING BROS AND ITS ALL AMAZONS FAULT.
THERE IS JUST NO MARKET FOR PHYSICAL COPIES.

What? I've never been chased out of a B&N. It's the best bookstore/coffee shop. I even ask for extra creamer packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for creamer packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly B&N cafe worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local Barnes and Noble Cafe, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with cream instead of milk, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great drink that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in Double Chocolate Chunk cookie in the creamer, it's delicious! What a great cafe.

at least you tried

>at two different stores
>stop going to gamestop for 12 years and counting

what is this, a /ck/rossover episode?

A Gamestop employee died early Friday of September 25th 2007 after an "out-of-control" mob of frenzied shoppers smashed through the store's front doors and trampled him, police said.

The stampede plunged the Valley Stream outlet into chaos, knocking several employees to the ground and sending others scurrying atop vending machines to avoid the horde.

When the madness ended, the undisclosed man died and four shoppers were injured.

It is widely believed this was due to a sale over the popular Halo 3 new at the time.

Lmao

If the redesign brings a complete and total end to this type of “circle of life” directive bullshit, I’ll seriously consider coming back.
Just let me buy whatever the fuck I came for in peace.
