I know that most people probably experience something similar at least every other trip to EB/GS, but this guy documented it well.
I've been to a hell of lot of game stores (when I lived in NYC) and heard plenty of stupid shit.
Not once did I say, "I'm CheapyD from CheapAssGamer.com", have you heard of me?

Read the whole thing. Is it just me or does the author come across a wee bit pompous? Of course the EB employees are ridiculously out of line, but does this guy really need to give them his resume? I would have just walked out of the store in disgust.EB Manager: Welcome to EB. I can help you with anything you want, except getting a Wii. We don't have any so don't even bother asking. (Note: I kid you not -- this was the greeting I got when walking in the door.)
Me: I'm good. I already got one.
EB Manager: You did? Where'd you get it?
Me: Here. I pre-ordered for launch. Actually, I was able to get four of them.
EB Manager: (Conspiratorially) eBay?
Me: No. I had my wife pre-order one at another store. And I got another couple from a friend.
EB Manager: Did you eBay those?
