That's true. I must have been a finicky consumer in a past life.
If you're getting it for your g/f. why do you care about the extras. It shouldn't cost you 35 bucks man. It's $29.99 new.
Skeptical.
Okay, this is was happened. Color Satsuki pissed....cause that's what I am. >_<
okay, the EB i have it preordered at said they weren't getting it until tomorrow. Well.......I only get a 10% discount, so i figured, just this once, I would go over to Gamestop. So I called the "good" GS, and they were sold out. No biggie, there's a few GSs in town..........so I called this little tiny GS (this place is like the size of a kitchen) and asked if Puzzle Fighter was in today. The guy said very snottily "yeah, i got one copy left. No, i can't hold it for you." *hangs up*
I'm like..."...."
okay, well, whatever. So my boyfriend drives me over to the GS, and I asked if the puzzle fighter was there. The snotty guy on the phone said, "yeah. we got it. but it's not in the package." HE WANTED ME TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR A GAME WITHOUT A PACKAGE.
And that was strike one.
I said "well, I'm not buying it if it doesn't come with a package." so the guy says magically "ooohh wait, you know.......i think the box may be over on the rack....."
so he looks for a total of 3 seconds, and says "no.....someone mustve ripped it off."
once again, I was "...."ing.
So my boyfriend and I walked over to the rack, and right there, was the puzzle fighter box! OMG!
so then the guy slammed the puzzle fighter in front of me, while one of the fat GS coworkers SQUISHED the box while trying to get the shrinkwrap off.....;_;
and so I just about had it.
I asked, uh.....can I use ATM here?
The guy says there's no keypad.
"......"
so my bf gets out his card to pay for it, and they ask for ID. His picture is ON THE CARD. and they ask for ID. He says "uhm....yeah, my name and address and picture....theyre on the card."
"yeah, well, tough. I'm sorry, there's a bank down the street."
I said "fucking forget it."
I don't want an unopened, squashed box copy of puzzle fighter. Hell, they guy couldve been in the bathroom with it, i dunno. He acted like it was paining him to breathe the same air in the GS i was, so I just figured, I can wait one more day to get it at an EB where I know the guys and they arent going to treat me like shit.
So yep. I'm pissed.
PS-added stupidity from this GS dude...
There was a copy of Earthbound for the SNES in the case. Before I asked about the Puzzle Fighter, I asked about Earthbound because, well, it was Earthbound.
He told me there was a waiting list of people to buy it before me.
I asked him why it was in the case where everyone could see it if it wasnt for sale. He walked away and didn't answer me.
In short, the guy really needs to get hit by a bus. I mean, I know how stupid gamers can get in a store......and how frusterating it can be.......but I would never act like such a dick to anyone being as polite as I was.
No Puzzley for me until tomorrow (i hope.........EB has been telling me this all week..............*sigh*)

i can understand a game being on hold but we only hold games for 24 hours and never make a list of people to buy it
what the hell O_o o_O
If that guy worked in my store. he'd be written up or fired immediately. what unprofessional bullshit.
give me his number so I can bitch him out.
heh, thanks guys. I was hoping I wasn't crazy......
Well, I think I'm going to call his disrict manager and complain about the unprofessionalism he treated me with.....
I just have to go back and get his name >_<; I knew I shouldve asked when I was there.....but i just wanted to get out of there as fast as I could.
Dippity-Do!
My wife is the same way. She'd rather just avoid all unpleasent situations.Originally posted by Satsuki

Me, on the otherhand...I can be an extremely confrontational jack-off if need be. But if I'm a customer, and I'm not asking you do anything outside of policy, you had damn well better treat me with respect, kindness, and general pleasentness. Otherwise, your ass is mine.

If I find any more around here, I'll throw a PM your way if you'd like.
