Is Gamestop Evil? The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

[Nintendork666]

I just have a bunch of really geeky looking guys at mine that seem to be hygenically challenged. Can we trade?

Absolutely not. That trade sounds even worse than actually trading a game into GameStop.

If you feel faint every time a cute girl gives you a high five you need to work on your social skills.

Trust me, I can handle myself pretty damn well around cute girls. But put one behind a GameStop counter with a company lanyard around her neck, and my tongue soon melts into butter. There's just something so sexy about 'the enemy'.

Whatever dude. I don't follow.

I'll tell you one thing about GameStop that's not bad, and certainly not ugly...

ALL OF THE CUTE GIRLS WHO WORK THERE! My god, I'm not sure if it's just my area, but there are so many hot, young, alternative girls at the shops around here. A cute girl is a cute girl, but a cute girl working at a game store (GameStop or not) has enough power to make me stumble over my words as I pre-order Skyward Sword (did she really have to offer me a high five? I nearly fainted). If only I had just a little more game (pardon the pun), and a little less of a girlfriend already ...

Here's to you, cute GameStop girls of the nation - here's to you.

I honestly have to wonder if this is an objective assessment or just really a strange set of standards. I've been to countless Gamestops in the course of my collecting career, and I think I can count two, maybe three, cute female employees. I suspect that the idea of a girl who plays video games is really throwing off your hotness scale.

At the Gamestop closest to my home, there's a dykey chick who's shaped kind of like a mini-fridge. And then there's another chick who looks kind of like she's done meth at some point in her life.

Dont let Keith Apicary see this,he'll crack jokes son
I though Kevin was kinda cool cause he made funny pot jokes but Im so TEAM Keith!

But if it is a semi cute game store girl how many licks did it take to get to the center of a tootsie shop.

Went in to Gamestop the other day. Was thrilled to find a really cheap used copy of La Pucelle: Tactics. Take case to the counter, clerk takes out game disc, SCRATCHED AS SHIT. Still bought it, as the music store in the next town can buff that shit for next to nothing and I'm taking some music CDs in there Monday.

But my question is, why the balls does Gamestop accept games in such shitty ass shape? I've refused/returned so many games because of this. Wouldn't this be hurting their business or do they just not give a shit? Do most "regular" consumers (casual gamers and kids) just not care?

Because GameStop is a terrible store. Take your money elsewhere.

Cause their awesome!You get 30 days if defective,just let them know you be back in 30 minutes instead minus case and manual

You wanna know who they really care about?....Only Walmart,bestbuy,target etc and if they can make more money then them.Its pretty much a powder keg waiting to blow.I dont wanna sound like a hater cause I did like them in my early years but thats when it wasnt as big as a mess as it is now.
