CAGiversary!
I'm glad I wasn't there to witness this:
My fiancee and her sister went to GameStop to get a Wii and a PSP for thier kid brothers to take back to Italy. I advised them to just give them money to get European systems (which, now, they are), but that isn't the point.
They mentioned their bros. were going back to Italy with these systems, and were told by the Store manager that the Wii wouldn't work there.
My fiancee and her sis explained they (thier brothers) already have an American PS2, and their TV is compatible, and they wouldn't mind just getting games from the States. The manager continued to argue his point. I guess the other worker chimed in and said they're already playing the U.S. PS2, so their setup must be fine for the U.S. Wii.
The manager goes "So, if you know more than me, then I guess we'll just call you the store manager!"
I guess they were really getting into it - in front of customers, no less.
At this point, they call me on the phone, and I said to just get the PSP if you don't mind sending them games all the time, but I'd rather them wait to at least get the Wii there in Italy.
At this point, the manager said "You have 1 minute to make up your minds."
Over the phone I could hear my fiancee's sister say "Oh, don't be rude, we're about to spend over $400 dollars here."
Manager replied "Yeah, so, just like everyone else..."
Then, they just said they've decided not to buy anything at their store an left. Wise decision. I'd rather they get Italian versions of those systems, but man, what a couple of tools. Especially that manager. I know they have hours and want to go home like everyone else, but I still think it's rude to act that way. Why chase customers away who are about to drop a ton cash?
