Shhh...he’s busy writing a postcard to Marge!

Dissonance, but yeah.

I enjoy the cognitive dissidence of selling booze but being offended by the names people give to the creations made with booze.

Tina, this should be your Behind Closed Ovens

Why would you buy Pizza 15? It’s just Pizza 14 with a roster update.

You’re kind of missing the point here though. There was nothing sold, only reserved. It’s not a return so return policies shouldn’t apply. If they have the reservation, then they need to honor it. If they don’t, they need to provide a full refund since they have offered nothing of any value for the funds that they…

As a guy who used to play pokemon...am I....could I be....

You, commenter, are a shithead. S/He was doing his job, asking all the questions s/he is supposed to ask in order to keep his/her job. And here you are complaining, saying going into GameStop is the “worst” because you can’t be bothered to say “no” a few times.

While I do agree gamestops have a lot of shit employees, I think it would be fun to hear the other side’s story. Gamestop employees stories of shitty customers.

I also think it’s different because it’s a pre-order that they fucked up. Having the ps4 in hand and trying to return it is one thing, but they never provided the sale. They took the money, refused the product, then said we’ll give you 80% of the money we took back. That seems like bait and switch to me....

Pretty sure taking/keeping your money and not giving you the item in return, or taking your money, refusing the item, and only giving part back, is illegal in all states.

As a possessor of breasts I can fairly tell you that shit is accurate. I WISH I could make up the horror stories.

Actually, you have all the right to get your money back. I found myself twice in this situation (not at Gamestop, specifically) and all I needed to do was threat to call my lawyer (which I actually would have, as this would have meant easy money for me and him).

Hmm that’s an interesting aspect to it. I don’t believe I live in a state w/ robust consumer protection, NM, but I still had no problem reversing a $2000 charge for a couch that didn’t satisfy, even though this was in contradiction to the store’s policy. My bank agreed that the store’s policy was unfair, which is…

A lot of people. People will write and rant about their bad experience over having a good experience. You always remember the bad more than the good.
When you walk into a business you expect at least some sort of customer service, maybe not EXCEPTIONAL but not to be treated like a piece of crap. Retail employees have…

As a current Gamestop employee I must say I am almost mortified by some of these employees actions. I’ve worked at Gamestop for about 2 1/2 years now and at least my store location has changed a lot in the way we do things from “Power-Selling” to “Make the customer happy.”

That $400 Gamestop story is truly a crappy situation. But, it seems like it could have been rectified by involving the bank. Even using a debit card, I’ve called BS on a merchant before for a large purchase like that w/ my bank and had the transaction reversed. Banks will often shield you from unreasonable merchant…
