No, we do NOT have anymore Wiis!

Memoriae · No, we do NOT have anymore Wiis!

Ok. So I work at gamestop...
I swear if one more person asks me if we have any Nintendo Wiis in stock or when we will get them...I am going to punch them in the face.

I mean honestly people! what makes you think that Nintendo would be that awesome as to stock our shelves with Wiis for the holiday season!

In a 6 hour shift, I swear I got that question 100+ times.
*twitch*

OH!
and NO I will NOT sell you Call of Duty 4 or Assassins Creed for your 8 year old sons Christmas present!
And no, not just because of the small little fact that I would be fired if I sold a M rated game to a minor, its just common sense! ARGGH!
*twitch*
Stupid parents. Stupid stupid parents.

I do give some parents credit.
They actually ask about the gore and violence and the ESRB rating on the back.
When they find out how violent it is, they say Heck no.

Oh, and alphabetizing all the games in every section is torture...
but it is even worse when it is all messed up 2 days later.
The DS section made me CRY...

ok enough groaning, time to hit the sack. Have to do it all over again tomorrow..
yay.

happy flippin holidays.

Wow, sorry, that doesn't sound like a fun job at all... Confused

i used to work for eb games way back when. working the holiday season in one of the most busiest malls in a store the size of my ass was not fun. we never bothered alphabetizing the games and would have people really upset when we didn't have games they wanted. it was fun to pretend to play manager and getting rude with the customers if they started to scream. Wink

and parent's don't know...it's just the way they are..

sorry to hear it your day was so crappy.

i work in the computer department of an electronics store, and the games/software section is right next to our area so we get a lot of customers coming into our section, asking if we have Wii's, XYZ game, etc etc and then get pissy when we say we're not sure but we can find another associate that can help them.

i mean, really, if you go to a fancy restaurant, do you want the busboy to cook your meal or the executive chef? not to say that busboys can't cook worth a damn but for the most part, you want the person who has the title to do the job, and Computer Accessory Sales Associate does not equal Software/Games Associate. thank you, have a nice day, ma'am/sir.

I know EXACTLY what you are going through. Crying or Very sad

I work at Gamestop as well and I get asked every 5 minutes if we have a Wii, when we will be getting them, can we hold them, can they pay in advance, blah, blah, blah.......

And the clueless parents are an absolute nightmare. I've got a great story for you about a huffy mom and snobby little timmy. One day last week this kid came up to the counter with Assassin's Creed. When I told him he couldn't buy the game he left mumbling under his breath (probably calling me a bitch). A couple of hours, and many "Do you have any wii's" later, here comes little timmy with his mom. It was obvious she was irritated at having to come in and buy the game. I ring up the game, BEEP! goes the ESRB warning, so I start my whole little speech.
ME: Ma'am are you aware that this game has a mature rating and that it contains strong violence, blood and gor-
MOM: *rolls eyes* Yeah, yeah, whatever.......

Ok, now I hate being cut off like that, especially when I'm trying to help. She could have let me finish. At that moment something snapped in me and at the same time I noticed the cross around her neck. So I improvised my speech....
ME: ....gore,....... and the killing of christians?
MOM: I know, I kn-........... did you say killing christians?!
ME: Yes ma'am. It's set in a different time period, but yes, you kill christians in this game. You......ASSASSINATE them. Shocked

At that point I can see my co-workers falling to the ground trying to hide fits of laughter. But somehow, I remained just as serious even though I wanetd to join my friends on the floor. And then it happened. Mom looked over at little timmy and said the greatest words I had heard all day.
MOM: Sweety....... I think we better wait on this one and ask daddy first.

I had done it. I had defeated little timmy at his own game. MUWHAHAHA!!!

nekotine

WOW. you sure got some guts there, Green. i think as a customer, if i had been in the store at the time, i would've had a hard time not laughing. in fact, i might've straight up FAILED at trying not to laugh. i don't have anything against any Christian faction but that was quite the passive aggressive come back there. kudos. XD

Lucypants

That's got to be very frustrating! I know one of the game shops in town had a delivery of 23 Wii's the other day and they were all gone by thte atfernoon. Some people just can't be patient!

minit

HOLY S**T!! That is hilarious!

At the same time it is quite telling that all kinds of random violence was ok but assassinating Christians is not?

Seriously.

begin rant...
It is like the rationale that abortion should be illegal cause life is sacrosanct but it is permissible to send thousands of young men and women to kill and be killed in a foreign land? Not to mention that the true casualties of war are civilians who are women and children. More of those die than solders. Collateral damage.
...end rant.

GirlyG

Green you're too cool for school lol

Couldn't agree more minit.. it's ridiculous - this woman was clearly a total moron. Apparently some lives are worth far more than others. Rolling Eyes

Not sure where Thou Shall Not Kill works in on the whole Christian thing, other than that tablet clearly had the word 'unless...' written after it!
