- NGliam, on 10/13/2007, -21/+226Im sorry for a total change of direction but did anyone else find the attitude of the writer to be quite aggravating? That was not an enjoyable story to read, and the way he is so condescending about the employee who he had trouble with. I understand it's annoying to be screwed with like that, but he oversells the story.
- asskey, on 10/10/2007, -37/+211I could swear the title said "How a GameStop employee tried to screw my girlfriend"
- UPGR4Y3DD, on 10/13/2007, -16/+189I bet if she was hot she'd have gotten the game right away.
- Mazy1, on 10/13/2007, -3/+150Nice move calling the manager.
- capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -9/+150Haha, that's funny. I could have sworn your comment said, I'm a douche that wanted my pointless comment to be near the top even though it has nothing to do with the comment it was replying to.
my bad. - primesucka, on 10/10/2007, -12/+126WHO CARES!? Every time some idiot has a problem in a store I have to hear about it? Thanks internets....
- MechaZain, on 10/13/2007, -4/+102Considering the title, this article disappoints.
- beguiledfoil, on 10/13/2007, -2/+88Anyone that has a list of local game retailer managers in their cellphone has a moderate to high risk of being a douche.
Anyone that refers to said list as "connections in the biz" has a high to extremely high risk of being a douche.
Anyone that mentions their "even higher up" connections at "Gamestop/EB" in a totally contrived manner has an incalcable risk of being a douche.
He then goes on to call him a "moronic pre-college *****"... A winner is he - inactive, on 10/13/2007, -8/+86Sorry but, who else read "How a GameStop employee tried to screw my girlfriend" and clicked? lol jk jk.
- guythomas, on 10/10/2007, -8/+80buried inaccurate. you have no girlfriend.
- SmackMyMac, on 10/10/2007, -6/+72Man, if you remove the word "over" from the title, then we would have a story!
- Calypsoaf, on 10/10/2007, -3/+46Girlfriend?
*cries softly* - themastersb, on 10/10/2007, -6/+45EB games and Gamestop are always shady. Best thing to do is not shop there at all costs.
- Xeniteone, on 10/10/2007, -7/+43That was the hugest, fattest, sloppiest waste of time that I've ever wasted on Digg. And, c'mon, that's saying something. I'm even wasting time telling you what a waste of time it was, but I'm somehow hoping to balance the universal scales, and save somebody the minute and a half it takes to read this article. God, please, TURN BACK NOW. I'll give you the jist: my supposed 'girlfriend' is adorable, she also sucks at video games, somebody made a mistake, I have big testes cause I 'know the manager', the mistake was almost immediately rectified, no canned hams or full wine bottles were thrown. YAWNFEST '98. I dunno, Digg, there is a definite disturbance in the force here.
- cgomez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+34Dozens of hundreds?
- BassCadet, on 10/13/2007, -0/+27Visions of fat, bespectacled men in short-sleeved dragon and/or flame shirts are dancing in my head.
- hassanchop13, on 10/13/2007, -7/+34you deserved it for paying 30 dollars to reserve a game.
seriously who does that - Archon810, on 10/10/2007, -2/+27Where's the "who gives a *****" button?
- sbolanos, on 10/10/2007, -4/+29FAIL ARTICLE IS FAIL
- atomysk, on 10/10/2007, -4/+27Wouldn't it have just been easier to ask him to check the number of cases and carts in stock (assuming there were more copies of the same game not in cases)? The number shouldn't have matched up, and the clerk would have realized he was indeed at fault. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think that would have totally solved the problem quickly and without any tension.
- gnomeh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Agreed
but this guy is extra special.! He has connections to a gamestop manager and showed up a teeny punk! - facelesscoward, on 10/10/2007, -4/+24That's their job. I assure you that most people who work at game stores don't want to give you a speech about the virtues of buying used games or coerce you to pre-order or any of that nonsense.
- hbeierg, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22NikoKun
- mogdor, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21This guy could've told his story in about half the space without all the unnecessary details. I think he just likes to write. And I was bored enough to read it.
- lukehh, on 10/13/2007, -4/+22"All birds have to leave the nest sometime, though."
yup - seangp, on 10/13/2007, -0/+18I got confused when I read that he goes up to the counters "partly to chat up the guys I know working there". My girlfriend wouldn't be very pleased if she knew I was chatting up male store clerks.
- Snoz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19This story is BS.
- hassanchop13, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17I DONT KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT
- NikoKun, on 10/10/2007, -5/+22O_o what?... I pay off the games in advance so I don't have to worry about the money later. How does that make me deserve it *****... -_-
- jmoh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17But I dont feel it is necessary.
- Jleagle, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18She must be made up if this guys on Digg.
- tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Yep. I went there to get Guild Wars: Nightfall because it was on sale for $25. The guy tried to tell me it was $50. "I just sold one less than an hour ago." I tell him I'd like him to check. He does. Then there's some fancy extra thing he types in, and the $25 discount shows up. "Oops! I wish I'd known that an hour ago, hahaha" he says. Not his fault, I guess, I don't know, but still--if I weren't a smart customer, I would have been screwed out of $25 like the last guy who bought that game there.
- Chaos12, on 10/10/2007, -9/+24DRAMA
- dvddesign, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16I CAN'T CONTROL THE SOUND OF MY VOICE! BY SOME SMALL IRONIC MEASURE, MY CAPS KEY IS ALSO BROKEN.
STUPID KEYBOARD. OH GREAT, NOW MY INNER MONOLOGUE IS BROKEN AS WELL. ***** ASS CRAP BAGS.
AND MY TOURETTES IS ACTING UP AGAIN TOO.
I HATE SUNDAYS, - NSResponder, on 10/10/2007, -7/+21Any manager worth his pay would have come in immediately and fired the *****. One bad employee can cost a business dozens of hundreds of customers, permanently.
-jcr - firedrillduckie, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14I just read this comment on the article's site. I didn't need to read it again.
- istatic, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17Well, at least he didn't try to actually screw her.
- pyrophire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Buried for myspace simpsons character.
- digital-flex, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15The article needs to be proofread and grammar checked. I'm sorry but the author can't tell a story very well.
- cococooky, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Just as well you shop online then. Death is a bit harsh don't you think?
- SweetMercury, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12No, but enough ***** game-store employees think that girls are easily duped to make their shopping experience considerably more painful then a man's.
- cmiller1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+121200?
- DarthMalcontent, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Not to mention that if he made that big a deal trying to say he put the game in the case, he was probably planning on taking the game home after his shift. As far as the inventory system knew, it was sold properly.
- acdcfanbill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12This is why I don't buy games from them, if I buy something new, I expect it new, as in... sealed, and from the factory.
- McTendo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Idiot blocked.
- airiox, on 10/13/2007, -8/+19Yeah he has a bad writing style, but even that can't ruin a good story.
- jgclark123, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Yes, because all women are easily duped.
- ICSU, on 10/13/2007, -1/+12Say it: he sounds like a little whiny self-centered bitch.
- SlackerCS, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14Mr. Big Stuff would have a little more credibility if he didn't end the article by saying he'll still be giving Gamestop their most profitable business anyway.
- Jalh, on 10/10/2007, -8/+18that only happens to stupid people. are she blonde ?
