I didn't know where to really put this, but I wanted to find out where you guys rank the service you get at your local B&M stores as well as large chain stores.

I personally rank them as such:

1. TRU
2. BB
3. CC
4. Wal-Mart

I have many reasons, but it's mostly because of PM, regular deals, and great service that I put TRU first. BB comes 2nd because they PM most anything and have the GGC. CC will PM and give you 10% off the difference. Wal-Mart PM's stuff for me, but only if it's not a big difference. I've gone there before and they haven't PM'd some of my stuff, which makes me angry when they say they always have low prices.

So what do you guys think?
 
1. Circuit City
2. Target
3. Toys R Us
4. Best Buy

Circuit City because they have great clearance deals and the workers there generally seem nicer than at other stores. Target because they also have great clearance deals and it's a clean store compared to other similar stores like Walmart and K-Mart. I put Best Buy last because I have more problems there than at any other B&M store, sometimes refusing to honor their own coupons, not price matching their website, getting annoyed when I buy penny items etc.

I didn't rank Walmart because I rarely go there and I don't think I have ever gotten a game from them before (because they never have any deals at the ones I go to)
 
1. Circuit City/Target
3. Best Buy/Wal-Mart
4. EBGames

CC and Target seem to help the most helpful employees to me. Though really only marginally better than Best Buy and Wal-Mart. Best Buy employees sometimes give you that 'What you actually needed help' look when you actually ask them to do something for you. (Though that can be amusing.)

EBGames employees can have a 'tude. I imagine GS is probably the same deal, but I rarely shop there.

Honestly I generally know exactly what I'm going to buy when I walk in a store and my only question for an employee is going to be 'Is this in stock?' (If I can't find it.) or 'Can you price check this?' (If I want to verify a clearance price I found on here.) So I really don't ask much from them.
 
1.) Circuit City
2.) TRU
3.) Game Rush
4.) Target

I choose CC first because they had some cheap ass sales over the last 2 years and easiest to PM imo. TRU is second because of the green tag sale. Game Rush is third because they seem to have the best trade in promos. Last is target because they have some good sales on new releases and clearance sales.
 
1. Pawn shops and Goodwill (they have no clue but best prices around)
2. Gamestop (my local gamestop has friendly employees that know what they are talking about)
3. Target (biased, my boyfriend works there)
4. Best Buy (not good service but I can get in and out easily)
99999999999. Any EBGames... I have been into five different ones on several occasions and they give the worst advice on games and will literally lie to a customers face)
I give EBGames.com a good review though and Gamestop.com a bad review, on ordering purposes. I ordered a Valkyrie Profile at gamestop.com and never recieved it and they recieved it back saying my address didn't exist and that I would have to wait to reorder it when they put it back up on their site (they never did).
 
AngellicLulu -- I'm also in Tampa. What Pawn shops and Goodwills do you visit because the ones near me are crap. Also, which CC does your BF work at?

I mainly frequent pawnshops in Brandon and that is also the Goodwill I go to. I live by USF so I also frequent the pawn shops around Busch Gardens.
My bf works at Target on Fletcher Ave. near USF.
 
1. some pawnshops- I've never found any games at goodwill, and most pawnshops price by ebay. But there are 3 in new hampshire that have no idea and price everything the same. Best grab was tactics ogre for 5 bucks. Though the service often sucks, so maybe they don't belong up here.
2. Gamestop- usually helpful, and unlike eb they actually know more than the most current systems.
3. circuit city- don't really bother me, and they give the funniest looks whenever something is on sale (games for $5, penny guides etc)
4. best buy- I've never had any real problems with them, though the employees grab everything before I get anything so that may be why. The only other store I buy games at is toys r us, and I hate their service.
