I swear...it's like night and day when it comes to video game sales clerks. Today, we stopped into two stores that had used games, movies, etc. The experiences were complete opposites. The first store was a pleasant experience. It smelled of cigarette smoke, but aside from that the staff was courteous and helpful. Yet, they were not pushy. A clerk asked me if I needed help with anything and I told him that I was looking for Suikoden V. Since he must have been a gamer, he said, "Well...I highly doubt it but let me check for you." They didn't have it, but we had a small chat about the series and that was it.
Down the street was another store. Only this time, the staff was not attentive. One wage slave was on his cellular phone the entire time. Another was talking with a customer about...well I couldn't tell what it was about but it was holding up the line. The last wage slave wasn't doing anything. I went to him to ask if they had Suikoden V. He said, "All of our PS2 games are over there." *sigh* So I looked, but then asked if he could check since things were out of order. He said, "Well...if it's not there it's not there. We have a lot of PS1 games though." I said, "...yeah I can see that..." It was like he was reluctant to help but wanted to still make a sale.
I just...GAH! People these days are so rude! Yelp is going to here about both of these places. One will get a great score, the other will get a bad score.
