well i went in to one the other day, i was in LA area. now when ever i go in to a gamestop, its guys working, talking about games, and computers you know nerd stuff. anyways when i went into this one there was 3 girls working, and not the hot kind. 3 chola's, and they wernt talking about games. there were talking about dram in the LBC type stuff, "girl was cheating on my man", "bitch was at that party". stuff like that. and you could just tell they did not know the differce between a nintendo and stop sign, i mean some guy asked one of the girls about a game she had no idea what he was talking about. why would they hire people like this to work in a store like that. look i don't know anything about make up so im not going to get a job at MAC. has this happen to anyone else????
But seriously, not surprised. I remember when EB/Gamestop used to be a nerd haven. Now the guys that work there rarely know what games I'm looking for. I guess they've never heard of it if they're not pimping a preorder to everyone who walks in the door.
What's the difference? Most of the kids that work in the EB and Gamestops near me barely know shit about games to begin with. The slight difference between your group and mine were that yours were women. Gamestop would never purposely hire an employee that knew anything about video games.

It hasn't happened to me, but that's why I applied for there, so that people can actually be able to find their shit, and I can get paid to buy mine.
Affirmative action?

Yeah we have an assortment of ass hats that work for out Gamestop.
Cause gamestops like ghetto fab now
A couple of the Gamestops around me have extremely good looking girls working for them. And some even know some shit about games.
