I say no they say ok I carry on with my day. If you can't handle someone asking you if you want to do something and just being able to say no without becoming a whiny child over it... Well that's just weak and pathetic. @mooreandrew58 Maybe it was just some of the stores around here then. I'd go in to trade something in and it'd be 10 minutes minimum before I could finish with the transaction as they would begin to rattle off upcoming game names. Of course I later on found out they're given hours based on pre-orders, protection plans and Power Up sub numbers. I believe they also use the surveys to gauge how effective employees are. It's not 'whining' to want to be left alone to browse and to want a sales transaction to take less time than it would for me to read War & Peace. Mind you the hard sell people were only at one particular store here and that was their old district managers home office and he was a pain with hounding you for them when he worked behind the counter. The whining comment was in general not towards anyone in particular. I've seen people act like GameStop killed their dog over it. Yeah my local GameStop just hands out pieces of papers with all upcoming releases on them. And they don't do it often. So when they do I assume management has insisted upon it. I've had my bad experiences at GameStop but it's rare and can be boiled down to a single shitty employee or shitty manager who makes them do things they know people don't like. Most employees have usually been super friendly. My only gripe is they don't seem to take the answer no I don't have a membership. They'll then ask if I ever had one which I did so then they ask my phone number and yada yada despite it being long expired. Not a big deal though I can still get in and out of GameStop quicker than I can Walmart to buy a game. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
