Annoyed with Gamestores, GameStop, EB, GameCrazy etc....

CAGiversary!
Recently just walking into a gamestore just to pick up a few titles has seemed like going to shop for a car. I can sense the employee aiming for me like a hawk with his sales pitch for the Xbox 360. Don't get me wrong I'll buy it eventually but it's so annoying having a person who probably doesnt know about games as much as me telling me about "the greatest thing to ever brace the gaming industry". One guy yesterday was acting like I must buy this new system because the graphics are the best! He went as far as showing me a book with screenshots, I was like "I know i've seen them, the launch titles don't interest me and the graphics dont look that much different so please leave me alone. Then he started taking the approach of me being a fanboy and saying that the PS2 didn't sell as well as Sony has hoped and the PS3 was Sony's last hope... I said "hey do you have this game?" no response just more talk about the new miracle system. This has been happening to me which ever store I go to. I go in there to buy a game and they give me the entire sales pitch for a system that as of right now I have no interest in. I don't remember going through this stuff before the current gen came out even when PS2 hype was at the most. Maybe its because im older now and they can see I have that extra cash to throw down or whatever but it sure seems like Big Bill has been throwing some extra cash to the corporate offices to encourage these gamestore employees to try to get as many preorders as possible. Funny thing was after I started talking to that one employee for a while and telling him why I didnt want to buy a 360 at launch he agreed with me and said there was only one game he really even wanted for it.

That's not how it works.. Bill isn't paying anything for game stores to push it. It will be this bad, if not worse, for the PS3.. the only thing is, most people probably won't notice because for some reason, you don't have to convince people to get a Playstation, they just automatically do.

No they don't. The only commission they get for this shit is keeping their JOBS. They don't do this shit because they like it. They do it because if you don't have enough preorders/subscriptions to Lame Informer, you're fired. This bullshit is the company's fault, not the employee's. Please don't blame them, blame the company. Hit them where it hurts; take your business elsewhere if you see these tactics.

Exactly. I don't blame them for having to push their preorders, but I do blame the company. This is why I almost never preorder anything and buy all of my games elsewhere (like at Best Buy, TRU, etc.) whenever possible. I'll be picking up my 360 at Best Buy too, thanks. :)

Unfortunately, most game stores do not target the hardcore gamers (most of us) anymore, but rather people like moms buying stuff for their kids or people and casual gamers who don't keep up with stuff like gaming news and prices. Most of these people fall for the tactics and they do enough business from them so they don't have to cater to the hardcore. Fine... I'll take my business elsewhere.

Couldn't have said it better. Yeah I get tired of them trying to push down my throat a pre-order of some craptacular game that I am never going to buy or shouldn't even think of paying full price for. It's funny because most of the older employees at my local Gamestop/EB don't even ask me anymore because they know it would have to be a special game for me to pre-order it.
 
If you're in a Game Crazy, chances are (unless it's the stupid fucking manager) they know what they're talking about. Any other store and you're talking to your average joe.

It depends some of the EB's and Gamestop's around me have some nice people that know about games. I talk with them all the time and most of them are on a name to name basis with me. Especially at the Gamestop that is literally two blocks away from my job.
 
The thing I hate the most is everytime I walk in the door I hear "hey you bring in any trades today?". Hell no and I'll bet you guys would love to get your hands on my collection.

Right on the money.

I work in retail (not a game store) and sometimes upper management wants us to be "assertive" with shit like that. I don't do it though.

The sales pitch doesn't bother me much because I have been on both sides of it. I let them say their spill and then move on. I do a lot more shopping with smaller gamesites now anyway.
 
I'm just annoyed with retail in general over the last few years. Best Buy is a perfect example. Used to be a great place to shop. Now the prices on a lot of things are over retail and you can't go 2 feet or 5 minutes without someone trying to "help" you. Did I ask for help? No. Then bugger off and let me shop. When the hell exactly did retailers stop letting people shop. If someone wants help THEY WILL ASK FOR IT. Having to tell some wanker that doesn't know anything about what they are trying to sell anyway to leave me alone every 5 minutes is one of the main reasons I do most of my shopping online now.
 
The only thing employees get comissions on at some stores are the replacement plans. I don't know about gamestores, but some of the bigger retail stores give $5-10 on a replacement plan. Kmart is one of those places...
 
It can be annoying but just make up stuff like you work for Microsoft so your'e getting a free one. As for Best Buy yeah I too have noticed everyone asks you if you need help every 2 seconds. fuck off!
 
best buy keeps people floating around as a Loss Prevention issue, just so you they let you know someone is in the area, not to try anything stupid. Why do you think they hire people who don't know the products they are selling? just to be an extra pair of eyes on the sales floor
 
Another reason employees have to be assertive is due to "secret shoppers" that a lot of companies like to use to check if employees are doing what they tell them. I have a HUGE problem with that but that is for another topic.

Get typing then. ;)
 
I work at GC (an assistant), and we do have commission, so I blame some people for being assertive meatheads and pushing things on people just because of that. But on the other end, we still have to meet a minimum requirement of preorders and discount cards by the end of the week because 1.) boss gets flaming pissed in most cases, 2.) upper management WILL drop us if we aren't doing "our part" in promoting our company and its services, and 3.) it's the companys way of not feeling so bad about an employee's dismal paycheck.

Personally, I'll only offer things if I think it'll save you money, and I'll only offer pre-orders if there are gifts involved, and even then, I'm not "offering"; I'm informing of the bonus gift. If people want to preorder on their own, great - they don't need me to nag them about it.

And whoever is being hassled about trades, I'd personally opt to talk to a manager and tell them to call their dog off of your videogames. That's horrificially rude.
 
Glad I'm friends with the EB store manager around here. He knows that I know my stuff, and he never tries to offer me trade-ins/preorder info.
 
This is why I bring my mp3 player with me when I go to any electronics store. Most of them will leave you alone if you have your head phones on listening to music or even the newest CAG cast :)
 
A coworker of mine always pesters people about pre-ordering stuff, he says stuff along the lines of if you dont pre-order it then you wont get it at all. People complain about him all the time that he bugs them. Whenever he sees someone walk into the store he goes right to them and tries to sell pre-orders of stuff they don't want. He is a douchebag all and all. 90% of the time he doesnt even know what he's talking about.

As for me, say some guy walks into the store, askes me when lets say SOCOM 3 comes out, I tell him Oct 13, after I say that I just say you can pre-order if you like. If they say yes cool, if they say no that's cool to I don't mind at all. I still get people to pre-order, most of the time I try to get them the ones that we have free stuff for like demos so if they dont like the demo they can get their money back.

I never pester people for pre-orders and i know more about games than anyone I work with AND more than the guys at the eb in the same mall as I work. That's just to the people who don't think the "hardcore gamer" don't work at GS, cause I hate selling pre-orders as much as you hate hearing about them.
 
When I went I went to preorder CCC the employee that day was a real ass. He was one of those nerdy guys who tries to act cool by wearing a goatee and crap. Anyway, the guy tried to sucker me into getting free mags by asking me " have you filled this out for us yet?" I started thinking that it might be something important or some kind of discount, but then I ask what he's talking about. He tells me its to sign up for a couple free mags. I got angry and told him no, but he kept trying to get me to sign. He started babbling about how the mags had demo disks and were so awesome. I told him I already got them and he finally shut up.

The weird thing is Best Buy specifically launched as an electronics store where people go in, pick up what they wanted and get out. No commissions, no hassles. Now I can't go anywhere near the mp3 player section without being swarmed by people with clipboards "helping" me. Then if I ask them any specific questions about a product, they fumble around and give half-assed answers or are just plain wrong.

I wish my Best Buy was like this... I had to wait in the mp3 section for ten minutes, both times I went in to get some help there. Finally I just said fuck it, and drove down the street to Target to throw them my money.

Their media section is the WORST... I'll get hassled by about 4 different employees just browsing through the games.
 
i would have to agree with everybody here. i am so sick and tired of hearing about xbox360 and ps3. hell i quit reading magazines just because i am sick of hearing about it, i have not gone in a game store in months. i just as happy going to yardsales and finding a game for a dollar, with no pressure. i have been around games for awhile but i dont remeber the hype being this bad before.
 
LOL I am sick about people asking about it, I'd rather focus on whats out now and push that, but everyone asks about those 2 systems like we have some inside info...
 
I usually only go to Best Buy if I know something is cheap.
I can't stand any of the stores around here...
EVERY time I go in there at least 3 or more of the sales morons come and bug me.
I mean come on, if someone just walks into an aisle and starts looking you don't need to come bug them. One time I had 2 sales people come ask if I needed help, one from each end of the aisle.

That was so true! I bought my first good receiver when BB opened up in KCMO and I loved the experience. Today...BLAH.

That's weird, it's the exact opposite for me. My GC is full of people who couldn't give a rat's ass about the customer. (Remember the Popcopy skit for Chappelle's Show where they're having nasty conversations while the customer is standing right there? I've had one of those happen at this GC. ) Where as my GR and EB know me, are incredibly friendly and even the guys who are new and dont know me wont push a pre-order. They'll ask, but only once.
 
I agree about Best Buy

I have no clue what happened, but only two or three years ago the place was a great place to shop at. They had good prices on DVDs, and wonderful prices on CDs, and they had some good video game deals at times. The computer hardware wasn't too shabby either in terms of deals. Also there wasn't people nagging me every 5 seconds if I needed help with anything.

Now, the prices on DVDs are good, but nothing to write home about they are on a similar level to any other good retail store. The CDs are still good, but not quite as good. And they hassle me to death with their nonsense.

Whenever I purchase something I get the 5 minutes runaround
"Would you like to sign up for the Best Buy rewards card?"
"7 free issues of Sports Illustrated or Entertainment today"
"Fill out this survey online to be entered for a $500 Best Buy Gift Card"


sometimes they even ask for my zip code, how about I just pay for my stuff and go?

I try to avoid Best Buy now unfortunately. I find my local Circuit City seems to be a lot easier to deal with. And video gamewise, I goto Game Crazy, cause I will not even bother with a Gamestop.
 
My local EB's are actually not that bad about this. Especially the main one I go to, where I know the manager & asst. manager. They're nice guys, and they'll sit & chat with me about the upcoming systems - but they don't pressure me about anything. I've already made it clear to them anyway that I don't want a 360, but I do want to put down a pre-order on the PS3 as soon as they start taking them. ;)

My Gamestop's suck tho. They are the model "pressure the customer about dumb shit" stores. They just opened a new one so I thought I'd give it a shot, see if they improve. The manager, who used to be the manager at another GS, is OK. He will ask me about pre-orders, but isn't TOO bad about it. The other guys they have are just asses. Their main problem is that they just ignore you when you actually want something. I was still trying to use the store a little, because it's one of the new ones w/ an expanded used DVD section...but the other day I went in and they had the main guy I hated from the mall store working in there. Really greasy looking guy, every time I see him I want to grab a bottle of shampoo and use it on him. Disgusting.

My main game shop of choice tho is Rhino. My Rhino is awesome - all of the guys know me (even the newest guy who I don't know that well yet gave me a good "how're ya doing?" and a handshake the other day). They never push anything on me - they know they don't need to. I've wasted many a lunch hour talking to them, about games, RPGs, movies...whatever. Just really nice guys. Since they don't take pre-orders for most RPGs, and they usually only get 2 or 3 copies in on their first shipment, the manager will stick a copy of whatever the latest big RPG is back for me - without me even asking. Icing on the cake is that they have the best trade-in deal around w/ their 2-for-1 permenant special. Great store. :)
 
If everyone is tired of all these coroprate stores why not support your local mom and pop video game store? Generally they know much more about games too cause otherwise they would have never put their ass on the line by starting a business. LOL this makes me think of an episode of south park too but I can't think of which one. It was real funny, about big coroprations and stuff. LOL
 
Just to let you guys know..... no commission on anything anymore Gamestop purchased EB and did away with the commission. Also they are not trying to be annoying or jerks, but they are trying to earn money to pay for college, car payments, etc... How would you like it if you were doing your job and people treated you like crap on a daily basis because they didnt like being "offered" something. If you don't want whats being offered to you, politely say no, and move on. Seriously you guys act like they are pointing a gun at you or something.

Another thing ! Its not like you guys are walking the dog and someone jumps out of the bushes to sell you something. Or walks into your house and goes HEY BUY THESE KNIVES. You are the ones going INTO the stores, if you dont like the way they are doing business don't shop there.

They don't exist within a 100 mile radius of me. I'm sure there are many others that are in similar situations. The less I can do with huge corporations the better. For the most part I'm able to avoid them but with electronics and games you're stuck.

In regards to the previous poster, you're clearly not reading what others are saying. No one is complaining about being offered something, they're annoyed that a polite 'no' is not enough to deter these car salesmen. The problem is corporate policy is to push preorders/warranties/subscriptions/etc. and overly zealous employees take it to the extreme.

*nods* the only sort-of mom and pop store by me is a general used audio/video media store (DVD, video, games, CD, vinyl, whatever.) And their pricing is crazy messed-up. I found a used Windwaker for $15, which is OK (Didn't buy it tho'.) But I also found a used Soul Hunter DVD boxset for $99. It's $49 brand-new.

Lucky for me, my gamestores are pretty kewl. Although I havne't been to one for awhile. Meaning to tho', so if I get a runaround I will reply with "I hate Xbox, I hate the 360 lineup, I DONT want it. Ask again and I'm leaving." Which will hopefully mean something since I'll be carrying a GI with one of those 'renew now!' covers, meaning I came for a Value Card sale. We'll see...

Sad to say, but the only "mom and pop" store around here overcharges like nobody's business. And I'm not talking just a couple bucks here and there, either. I'm talking $32 for a used copy of Mario Golf 64. I'd rather take my chances at Circuit City.

And on the subject of Best Buy, I've noticed lately that their staffing is always the opposite of their staffing needs. I'll get asked by four people in the video game section if I need anything, but if I go to the TV section to sign up for satellite service, I have to flag down one guy just to blow smoke up my ass while he scratches his own. In the departments where they actually need competent employees, they usually have none. No offense to anyone here, but the BB around here usually puts the biggest idiots in the computer department, and those are the people telling customers what kind of RAM they need and what to use to set up wi-fi. The Geek Squad knows what they're doing (barely), but they're on the other side of the customer service desk, and the customers rarely ever talk to them.
 
Well, me and my friends take alot of our media business to our local mom and pop record store Zia Record Exchange, they started out about 20 some years ago sellling records new and used and now they have expanded and offer a huge DVD library and a small game library. Good prices but they still dont have as many games as I would like since they only carry used ones. Besides them though, theres no mom and pop shop around my city to buy games from. Zia takes care of my need for cheap CD's and DVD's but if they just carried more used games or new games I would be happy.
 
Actually my Best Buy is kind of the opposite to some CAG's. I went in there for the clearance thing that went on, so I asked someone for a couple games on the list because I searched literally EVERYWHERE on those shelves and I wanted to know if they had some in the back. No one ever came up to me and asked if I needed help in the 30+ minute period I was there, when I went to ask if they had any of the games in the back, the guy did check, but he just said we don't carry it anymore.

So I kept looking for other games, still no employee came up and asked if I needed help. And you know what I hate the worst? When I DO ask someone about a game, and they just say "No, we don't have it" without even looking, or just go and quick scan the shelves which I did over and over. Man that's the worst thing.

But overall it was an ok expierence, the person who I had to ask was nice, but still didn't help as much as I had wanted. But one thing I will always hate, is when Gamestop, EB Games, Best Buy, or anywhere I ask for a game, and without checking or looking they say we don't have it! MAN I HATE THAT! It isn't that hard to go and check, yes I realize they may know, BUT I've asked for a game before to see if they had it, they said no, so I went in anyways and sure enough it was there...Gamestop is the worst at this and that's why I no longer shop there.
 
just be upfront and tell them boldly 'no im fine' and when ur in a store and someone is hovering trying to make sure u dont steal pull like 7 diferent games and go up to the person thats following u and ask them to hold them for a second hand them to them then leave saying 'i was gonna buy those if your store didnt accuse me of stealing all the time im going elsewhere'
 
As a worker at one of those fine EB/GS/GC establishments you all speak of....who's pushing the pre-orders by you guys. And the mentioning of the 360? The only way I talk about it is if people specifically ask me about it. I'm not gonna waste my time running around trying to get people to pre-order a system they won't be able to pick up from our store on launch day anyways.

And now you have to understand about this whole "pressure sales" thing. Most of us are hardcore gamers here, and are pretty anal retentive on what condition our games stay. It's not you the company is targeting. It's the parents with the destructive rugrats were going for. Besides, the 95% of the time while something is being offered to you, the first reaction is always no. So when we "push", were only trying to get past that initial reaction.

But in general, I have to say, we don't "push" anything on anyone like that per se. We're a laid back store, and we like to have fun. Besides, isn't that what video games are supposed to be in the first place?
 
I find the employees friendly and helpful, but they are forced to push stupid warranties, etc. Best Buy is the worst with their stupid spiel for Sports Illustrated every time I go out the register. Argh.

As far as supporting the mom-n-pop stores, I feel for those that don't have a decent one.

I frequent Game Exchange here in Midland, MI. The old guy that runs the store knows his stuff for an old guy, and he has reasonable prices (he uses the Gamestop or someone else's pricing list and marks down a bit from their prices). For example, I got my copy of Lunar 2 complete from him for $40 - he knocked off $5 because I'm a regular. Absolutely fair. He normally has a cartridge of Final Fantasy II or III for SNES around, for like $40. His reasonable prices is why I stop in there all the time, whenever I have the chance.

However, I stop into the used Game place in Saginaw, MI and laugh. 1 cartridge only copy of Chrono Trigger: $79.99 and almost laughed out loud. The other cartridge with a torn label was $69.99. I can nab one off ebay for like $40-$50, hell, I can nab a complete copy for $79.99! $59.99 for Final Fantasy II/III for SNES. etc. I couldn't find one thing there to buy.

The Turntable in Saginaw, though, a new CD store that also carried lots of used DVDs, used CDs, and some small amount of current-gen used video games, just went Out Of Business for good. Driven out, I guess, by the major competition.

Likewise and sorta related, the mom-n-pop rental stores also went OOB thanks to Family Video and Blockbuster moving in (before it was just Hollywood Video). Once the other stores were gone, suddenly Hollywood's videogame rentals went from $2.99 to $5.99. No fucking way I'm paying $5.99 for a game rental.
 
There are two video game sellers in my town. Gamestop and a locally owned shop. Gamestop has CRAPPY coustomer service and the local place is always sold out of the popular stuff...

I didn't mention walmart because i refuse to look at my games locked in a cabinet with nobody to unlock it in sight. I think I buy like 90% of all my gaming stuff through internet deals i find on this site :)

Ug, I HATE that. The worst (although not a game store) is Radio Shack. They ask for my full name and address every time I make a purchace. I hand the guy my money and he goes "Full name and address please." When I ask why I need to give that information out I get a huffy look and they say "It's so we can give you the best possible coustomer service"

B.S.!!

"It's so you can spam my mailbox full of junk isn't it?"

"No sir! we only send out quality deals and information on a weekly basis that you the consumer can use and bla blah bla blah bla blah.....only share your address with trusted buisness partners.....blah blah blah"

No thanks. Take my cash, give me my overpriced-yet impossible to aquire anywhere else gizmo and let me go in peace. :p



....thinking of fuzzy bunnies and kittens.....

Ok, I am in my happy place again :D
 
Most of the time, nobody bothers me for preorder deals when I go to any store around me. Sometimes somebody asks if I need any help, but I just say no thanks. I suppose I have a quailty shopping environment.
 
[quote name='Nibi']Just tell them you already preordered online.[/QUOTE]

Tell me about it, I don't see why more people don't do this.

Preorder? "already preordered online, thanks anyway"

Wanna go out? "Married, thanks anyway though"

20.00 for a blowjob? "Sorry, Cock was blown off in 'Nam"

Little lies make life so much easier.
 
ok.

So I work retail and can understand the frustration a lot of customers must get from shopping these days, but alas, it is the job of a lot of us sales goons to have no shame and do stupid shit sometimes anyways.

Yes, I will ask if you need help because a lot of people will be afraid to ask questions if you don't approach them. Sometimes this also gives one a chance to fully explain good promotions, etc. that the customer may not know about or fully understand. So while some may be annoyed at sales people that actually try to sell, remember that they're just trying to do their job, just as a drive thru guy fills a drink cup or as a police officer writes you a ticket.

Secondly, pushing things that people really don't want, such as a new game system, is pretty lame. I for one have to push warranties, on refrigerators of all things. Is it lame? Yes. Do I like having to pitch these things every fucking sale? No, god no. If I don't do it and actually get people to buy one every now and again will I lose my job? Yes. In a heartbeat.

So remember that sales people are people too, our jobs just require us to be a bit more douchebaggy.
