We've got a display of GTA: San Andreas cases. But they're just that - cases. The game itself is not in them. The game itself is not even finished. We just have a display to promote its release. Half the people who see this display (or the one for Halo 2, Donkey Konga and others) simply assume that they're real, and that we can sell them. They get genuinely excited. Some even reach for their wallets. But alas, we have to tell them that the game isn't out until October 26th. Then they get mad at us. One guy thought we were lying and just didn't want to sell it to him. This is only the beginning...
Some a-hole decided he needed to sell 50 crappy-ass ps1 and n64 games, accesories and an n64 system (all of which which we trade in but never sell) 10 MINUTES BEFORE WE CLOSED. This butt pirate set our closing prodecures back at LEAST a half and hour. I had to test the system (it didn't work), ring up every single game, give the douche his money, and then label every single item and put it out on the shelves. Ugh. I know he wanted to trade them in, but 10 minutes before closing? Have some common sense.
Also, GameStop does not repair systems or give game tips. We never have, and we never will. But that doesn't stop hundreds of people from assuming that we do. Honestly, working in retail does nothing but increase someone's hatred for humanity. And does it ever...ugh, I hate people. Especially stupid people. They're the dumbest.
