By merely saying Rules 1 & 2, I am breaking Rules 1 & 2
I am broke, and will not be getting Elder Scrolls: Skyrim tonight, tomorrow, or even over the weekend. I’m so sad and jealous. I wouldn’t have a lot of time to play it anyway, buuut I’ve been looking forward to it for awhile. Anyway, this is how I took out my rage
Call to CA GameStop
>Dyaaah hi, nice for calling GameStop! Are having midnight time for Skyrim RPG Land
Hi yes, I was actually calling about two games
>Okay, sir
Yeah I preordered a copy of Skyrim while I was out there, but I won’t be able to pick it up tonight
>When do you think you’ll be in to get it? Are you coming tomorrow?
No…
>I can’t really guarantee it past that… Are you coming this week?
No.
>Well, when were you coming? You have to pick it up by-
I went back to GA… I preordered while I was out there visiting some friends. Can I pick it up at a local GameStop maybe, if you won’t hold it, even tho I put money down?
>Uh, no, sir, each store has a separate inventory…
That seems like bad business to me.
>Well, I-
Can you call one of my local GameStops to see if they’ll have any copies left over for me to purchase?
>Where are you sir?
I said GA already, like, five times
>Sir, I-
Forget it. I’ll just get it somewhere else. You know, game specialty stores are going down the shitter next to big box stores. Your customer service is shit, and your prices and trade-ins are shittier…
>Sir-
I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I know it’s not your fault. You’re only doing your job. I’m just upset. I put good money down on that game, and now it’ll be wasted… But it’s not you… You can’t make the shitty policies of your company
>(Flatly) Well, I’m sorry, sir
It’s fine… I don’t know what I expected from a store that doesn’t carry Battletoads
>(Trailing off) This God damn- Motherfu- (click)
