We've all had at least one experience when we go to a store and have an obnoxious or idiot salesman. Viking's experience at Petco made me lol.
Well, here are mine.
So I had a Wii, wanted some Virtual Console games, and was looking for WiiPoints Cards. So I look on the wall where the Wii accessories are, right next to the games, and see no WiiPoints. I wasn't sure if they had them in stock or if they were somewhere else or whatever, but I went up to the counter and asked.
"Excuse me, do you have any WiiPoints cards?"
Her response:
"Pfft. WiiPoints? *points to wall behind counter* Do you SEE any WiiPoints? Feh.
*awkward silence*
We don't have any WiiPoints now, we might be getting more soon."
I don't even think I thanked her, I just walked away. Pissed, I decided to pick up Marvel Ultimate Alliance and me and my dad got on line. This kid in front of us was buying 5 games. That's it. Ringing up five games and putting them in a bag couldn't take that long, right? Wrong. This stupid clerk was chatting up a storm with the boys mother. This is what my dad said when we left after I bought the game. "Man, If this woman could work as fast as she could talk we would have been out of that store a LONG time ago."
THIS ONE IS MORE RECENT, IT HAPPENED TODAY AT THE STORE NEAR ME THAT I PREFER OVER GAMESTOP.
It wasn't the workers I usually see and like there, but whatever. I went there to preorder Metroid Prime 3, which I did (how happy are I), but before that I just decided to look around, I love looking around that place. So a guy comes in asking for a Ps3.
"Do you want the 60gb or the 80gb model?"
"Nah, the 60gb."
"Good choice, the 80gb sucks."
I was saying "thank you, thank you" under my breath and my dad laughed at me. I know what you're thinking, "he's being biased, clerks shouldn't be biased." I wouldn't call that bias per se, just sharing opinion on what he thinks would be a better version for the customer. And I agreed with him, the 80gig is a ripoff.
Now, for the thing that's bad about it. A little bit later, a kid walks in.
"Is Halo 3 out yet?"
Without even looking at him, he replies sharply:
"No, next year."
Not only was his information WRONG, he was looking down on the kid. A clerk shouldn't look down on a customer, period. Regardless of age.

This still one of them anti-Nintendo people.
"Metroid Prime is a FPS.."
"You've been listening to Gametrailers.."
"It is a FPS you point and shoot and it has..blah blah"
"Soo is Zelda is an FPS too? Because I thought Metroid Prime is a FPA. It has more of an adventure theme than a Linear theme that has most FPS do. Plus the Morph Ball adds another gameplay..element.."
He stops me.
"You must be a Nintendo fanboy."
I said..
"Nope just another PC gamer.."
And then he rants. >>;

I wanna find something I've wanted all along.... Well, this isn't video games. But at Burger King, I don't know what exactly happened, something was wrong with the order, something was missing, I dunno. Anyway, my mom asks for it and the lady just didn't do anything about it so my mom asked for the managers number or whatever and the lady's name and she was just being ignorant and wouldn't give it to her. So my mom just drove off without paying with what we had xd ....Somewhere I belong

Clerk:"Lemmie Check...*does stock check*...Nope, only the regular 30 buck version and some used copies. Would you like some of thos...." Stranger:"BULLSHIT!!! KINGDOM HEARTS 2 IS THE GREATEST GAME EVAR, HENCE GREATEST HITS, AND YOU DONT HAVE IT? YOU GAMESTOP GUYS ARE FULL OF TOTAL BULLSHIT!!!!!" *stranger storms out of store, into food court, and orders some Chinese* Clerk to another Clerk:"Fanboy..." Other Clerk:"Cheap-a** Fanboy..." *giggles* NOTE:The Stranger was a lot more suttle than that, but the clerks were relentless, none the less, how the hell do you ask for a Greatest hits version of a game? It's ******** crazy, i swear, some Texans are dumbasses...... All who agree Apple needs to die say "I!".
