Wow, people who work in retail sure are uptight and defensive!
Who ever EVER said anything about lecturing people in the store? That's idiotic. For one thing, I don't actually personally blame Gamestop employees for the gutting policy. Never said I did. I argue with people who defend it, that's all. It's a company policy I hate. I know employees don't create company policy.
Second of all, as I've said REPEATEDLY, what happens is I'll ask for a sealed copy. They won't have one. Sometimes they give ME attitude about it, insisting that a gutted copy is just as good, and arguing or mocking when I disagree. I don't go looking for a fight in a store, that's just embarrassing. But not all GS employees are angels. It's clear the hiring standards are low.
The only thing I personally blame employees for is handling discs poorly, which they often DO. The gutting policy is bad mostly because of this. However, I should point out that again, this isn't something that's played out right there in the store. Again, confrontation in a store is stupid. I'll point out that the disc is damaged, they'll either agree or disagree, and that's that. I leave without a game, they'll roll their eyes at me behind my back, and we go on with our lives.
So if you want to argue with things I've actually said, fine. If you want to invent scenarios to give yourself something to feel clever and superior about, find someone else to play along.
It's also pretty telling that you need to resort to childish name calling to "enhance" your argument. Pat yourself on the back for that one.
See, here's the problem. Or one of them, anyway. You're either conjuring up something out of things I don't say, or you're blatantly misrepresenting me so that you can then insult me.Batsamaritan said:rockyoumonkeys you are wrong on every level, including genetic.
Unfortunately your glib response proves i'm right, and that your the guy who gets his food pissed in when he eats at restaurants. Any store doing their jobs correctly will give you a sealed copy and leave the gutted ones till last, its common sense, and find me a fool proof way of preventing theft and see the end of gutting completley. I'm not against people wanting their games sealed, but its annoying little pissants who have never once worked in retail and feel the need to lecture those who do who get laughed at and mocked as soon as they leave the store (plus the afformentioned pissed on food in restaurants) who need to shut the fuck up.
As for older games, most of which have had their prices slashed, what do you expect? No store I ever worked in had the copy depth to warrent putting out dummy boxes. At the end of the day take the games or leave them, no one really cares what you think, acting out to people trying to do their jobs makes you look like the **** you clearly are.
