"They (EbGames) still harrass you for preorders, they have more subscriptions and insurance than before (I think)"
I mean, the customers might not like it, but if we don't get those preorders and subscriptions, we get fired. And that's not hyperbole. Where I work, for every twenty hours you need five preorders and three subscriptions. Everytime you fail to do that, you get writen up. Three write ups and you're fired without the possibility of getting rehired, then the company does everything in their power to prevent you from getting another job anywhere else. It's brutal, unfair, and quite frankly it should be illegal. Trust me, we don't like to push those things on you, but we're forced into it. Only two things will prevent that: either a nation wide boycott of preordering from anywhere or goverment intervention on behalf of the employees. Without either of those happening, the 'harassment for preorders and discount cards' will continue because our jobs and possible future ability to get better jobs is on the line. EB/GS doesn't just fire you, they go out of their way to destroy you forever once fired.
That said, I think Wal-Mart sucks because they don't have sales and they have a bad selection.
