"Hey, slackass, think you can you stop bullshitting with your buddies for five seconds and help me out here?"
"Don't roll your eyes at me for asking questions, taco, I don't know anything about video games because I'm a normal human being. You can make a blog complaint about how stupid and mean customers are later, shithead."
"Boo hoo hoo, you've got it soooo hard ringing up video games and answering questions all day, cry me a fucking river, try working construction for a couple weeks and this job will look like a day spa. taco."
Why do you like your job, Willco? I worked at GameStop for like a month and it made me hate retail. Like, seriously loathe it. I worked insane hours and when I finally got my first paycheck it was for a paltry $300. Sooooo not worth it.
Customers were abusive and ignorant, my feet hurt from standing around for hours on end...it was awful.

Top 3 things I hate hearing from GameStop Employees:
1. Do you want to reserve it?
No, taco
2. Do you want a strategy guide?
No, taco
3. this is too easy i'll stop here
i never get asked this kind of shit. however the employees usually try to make futile small talk.

You should get a flamethrower installed in your vag so when you start to unzip your pants, the pasty white fat dude who thinks he's gonna get some actually gets fried to a crisp! Plus that'd be totally awesome I'd get one installed in my penis. HOLY CRAP WE COULD BE A CRIME FIGHTING DUO! We should get this procedure done then go help Africa or something, I'm a humanitarian. :)

Everyone wants to work for me - we spent most of last night trolling this Sony fanboy to near tears, then called another rival store and harassed their keyholder.
actually despite having a lowkey Gamestop experience last night, I was totally weirded out by the way I was greeted by the sales clerk
he said "yeah." without making eye contact
and I kind of stood there because I wasn't sure what was going on.
then he looked at me and said "yeah."
and I said "...can you help me?"
and he looked away again and said "yeah."
after a greeting like that I shouldn't have been surprised I wasn't getting upsold
... Afterwards, this poor guy who wanted a 360 and had to endure the PS3 fanboy made up his mind.
"Yeah, well, I'll get a Xbox 360."
"All we've got is the Halo model."
"I don't care what model is, I want it. I just don't want whatever he's playing."
I think he was coming on to you.
Greeting is the only standard I want to improve at my store. Despite getting a 91 and an 86 on my last store audits, and 100% positive customer service feedback the last three months, I really think my employees could do a better job of IMMEDIATELY greeting customers when they enter the door. Sometimes they'll get to a wall before an employee gets to them.
Join aboard, Smooth Groove. Oh my God, this Sony fanboy was so great. He was hovering around the counter, telling this casual middle-aged gamer guy who was asking about the Xbox 360 to not get a 360, because the PS3 is the superior console.
We started to bag on this fanboy, and most of my folks even have a PS3, about how multi-platform games look better on the 360. And he was like, "Nobody buys a system for multi-platform games!" Then he went on about Metal Gear Solid 4 and one of the employees was like, "Yeah, I'll get it on my 360 next year."
That started a chain reaction...
"It's not coming on the 360."
"Yeah, it is."
"No, it's not! It'll never come out on the Xbox! Never!"
"Want to bet? As soon as you can pre-order it for the 360, you have to pay for my pre-order."
"No, that's dumb, because Metal Gear Solid 4 can only be done on the PS3."
"Well, according to these rumo-"
"I'M NOT LISTENING! I'M NOT LISTENING! NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! I'M NOT LISTENING!"
"Dude, all you got to do is go to this webs-"
[covers ears] "I'M NOT LISTENING! I'M NOT LISTENING!"

Quoteyeah, whether it's "can I help you?" or "welcome, I'll be with you in a moment, sir" I think that letting me know where the staff stands as soon as I enter is pretty important
Agreed, however there is a line which seemed to be crossed every single time i went into a store in the UK.
Where it would be "Can i help you?"
"no thanks, just browsing...."
