I walked into a Gamestop this past Sunday just to browse. Big mistake! Their "Black Friday" sale was still going on Sunday, and they were SUPER AGRESSIVE about pushing me to BUY BUY BUY! :x

The moment I walked in the door some big dude insisted on handing me a sales flyer. I just said, "no thanks," but he wouldn't take no for an answer. So I take the sales flyer just so I can walk past the guy and browse. He insisted on following me so he could explain the HUGE SAVINGS that are only available today. :roll:

I just wanted to price a few WiiU games, but I couldn't even pick up an item to examine it without triggering an aggressive sales pitch from one of the Gamestop associates.

I left without buying a thing. I'm still kind of aggravated two days later. Suffice to say I won't be buying a single gift from Gamestop this xmas season.

I usually walk in my local GS to give one of the girls working there some compliments and try and holler at her. Never works though and not sure if she's even straight. Emo-ish type with odd hair colors and a big piece of metal through the nose, very cute though.

I just browse the tiny Vita section. Occasionally buy a cheapie or trade something in when I need quick cash. They know me by name and not to bother me with sales pitches.

Jesus Christ, they need to do something about the clutter though. If there's more than 3 people in the store, you're elbow-to-elbow in a maze of retardation. All kinds of dumbass figurines and toys everywhere.

I know lots of mod girls who are straight but don't like guys hitting on them.

Have idea what a mod girl is. If I see something I like, I holler and give compliments. Not like it's ever made any female uncomfortable. I'm quite the handsome feller and never had trouble with the opposite sex.

Except for all the ones who were uncomfortable but didn't make mention of the fact to you, for fear of being made even more uncomfortable. Which is probably the majority of them.

@samson - Yeah, I hate that as well. I'll be polite the 1st and 2nd time they ask me. After that, I just straight out ignore them.

Because you know me and all the girls I've ever dated? Or ever talked to? Don't even go there. Not some pig who catcalls or talks to ladies with boyfriends. Talk like a gentleman, but you would know nothing about that.

Do yourself a favor and go back to your den and masturbate to your hentai. You obviously don't know anything about talking to someone you're attracted to. Fucking cornball.

Ah yes, this is why the girl in GameStop doesn't respond to your overtures. I hope this isn't how you make friends on all the forums you join.

Ah yes, this is how you talk of someone you don't know. Talk to your boy popo up there. I don't play that shit, homie.

If you fire a shot at me, I'm aiming nuclear warheads at your dome.
