Also,

Me:"Whoa whoa, you don't want to buy this, its really bad"

You're allowed to do that? Potentially lose money?

I mean they might move on to something else but they could just as easily not buy it...I suppose. IDK, strikes me as something my boss would tell me was a no-no. Like a "who cares if they're buying crap, it's all money in the end" kind of thing

"Do you guys have Assassin's Creed 2?"

Me:"Yes, its on the top shelf, under the As, in Alphabetical Order"

Customer:"*Proceeds to looking in the M segment*"

Me:"Sir, they're in alphabetical order"

Customer:"Oh okay

*Continues looking in the Ms"

Me:"*Face palms*

*walks over and grabs AC2 from the top shelf*

Alphabetical order, sir"

I remember working at a movie rental place when Catwoman came out. My boss told us all to ask the following question of anyone renting it: "Are you getting this for any other reason than to look at Halle Berry?" If they said yes then we were ordered to try and talk them out of it.

Sadly Leon, a large number of customers would not listen to us.

I also found it surprising just how many guys really did just get the movie to look at Halle Berry.

As a Wal-Mart employee in electronics, I go through the same thing for the most part. Just a short list of things I've witnessed/heard...

- A guy last year refused to get a black Xbox, because as he quoted "White Xboxes actually work, you know, like white people"
- People automatically assume we have a particular movie, because if we sell films older than the one they're looking for, then surely we must have THAT one
- When having to choose between asking a female coworker who plays lots of video games versus asking a male coworker who plays no video games at all, they will ask the male coworker. Then again, that's western NC for ya
- A guy tried getting his money back for a broken tv without actually returning the tv itself.
- Two guys got a discount on a tv, solely because we didn't have the specific tv they were looking for
- Customer service gave someone a refund for a movie they purchased from FYE
- A mother got onto me because I sold her two sons T-rated games.

...among other things. To this day though, two conversations stick out the most in my mind from specific customers...

*customer's looking at Burnout 3 for both PS2 and Xbox, then calls me over*
Customer: "Excuse me, can PlayStation 2 games play in an Xbox?"
Me: "No ma'am, they can't."
Customer: "...but they're both discs."

Sometime two years ago...
Customer: "Do you guys have any more copies of How to Train Your Dragon in?"
Me: "The movie's not set to come out for another month or two."
Customer: "But Clash of the Titans came out after that movie and it's already out on DVD!"
Me: "Clash of the Titans also made far less money than How to Train Your Dragon, hence why it's already out on DVD."
Customer: "................."

As I said Pun, I know your pain.

so yea, in december, a guy came in with his receipt and MW3

he said "I got this game from my uncle, so I want to return mine. I bought the warranty"

>____>

"First off, the warranty covers DAMAGE, it doesn't guarantee a return for anything else

second, you opened it, AND its a month later"

Customer:"well, I was hoping you would take the copy my uncle got from amazon"

"No, I can't do that"

Customer:"WHY NOT?! ITS SEALED"

"Me returning that would say you bought it here, which you didn't and I'm not about to lie for you"

"This is bulls***!"

"I can only accept it as a trade in"

"Oh, okay! how much?'

"30 bucks"

Yeah, this is just something Wal-Mart does. They'll take stuff back without a receipt, and you just get whatever the lowest price they sold it for was.

nothing too major, but annoying

some kid came in with a PS2 and before testing it, I asked him "You're only getting 12 bucks for it, are you SURE you want to sell it to us"

and he said yes

I always make sure to do this when people trade in Wiis and PS2s cause its extremely annoying to test it, give them the price, then have them change their mind. so I try to eliminate the testing step if its not necessary

so I went through the GRUELING process of testing it

and sure enough, it worked

but then he said "Now give me the value of THESE" and gave me a bag for of PS1 games

I told him we don't accept those

he changed his mind and took the PS2

he apparently thought a bunch of disney licensed PS1 games, on top of the PS2, would give him a good amount

idiot

The zeroth law of the universe, the law that supersedes all other laws states simply this.

Nobody ever reads the signs.

Everything people need to know, in easily digestible packages all over the place and nobody EVER reads them. Fortunately we never got any real idiots where I worked, just people who would always ask things that were written on a sign right next to them and go happily through the rest of their day.

on our used games, it has a sticker that has two prices

the bigger one thats the NORMAL price

and the smaller one thats the price if you have the power up rewards pro card

everybody SOMEHOW reads the smaller price and COMPLETELY ignores the bigger one when they bring it to the counter

Isn't a flat 10% discount? If it is then it is sad that you even have to have that on the sticker.

so

let me explain something

in our trade in database, there isn't a CE price

we JUST take the game in

so when someone tries to trade in a CE to something, one of two things happens

1. we give back the extra goodies that it comes with and JUST take the game

or

most likely

2. we take everything in, and sell it as a regular version.

the latter happens more often because we get lazy and don't want to make a case for it

since gamestop is actually not REQUIRED to care for the extra goodies, we sometimes might take something from it and in the past two days, I got the artbook from FFXIII-2 and MGS HDC

EEEEE
