Interesting link! I've always made it a point to be nice and polite to the gamestore workers... I know that retail workers get a lot of bull from the customers. I used to date a guy who worked at Radio Shack and he'd come home with stories of stupid customers.
 
Vamp, interesting stories. One worker got his facts about World of Warcraft, wrong though.

Kelly, my fiancee has friends who is very beautiful yet plays WoW.

I'm sure it was sarcasm.

I know a cute gal from Texas who plays WoW as well. :)

I doubt some store cares. I've seen some employees get bored and end up playing a Xbox 360 at my local store in Syracuse. I shrugged and passed him by to browse in the PS2 and Nintendo section.

LOl... Yup, I rather to work at Wal-Mart over EBgames/Gamestop because offers more work as less bored, such as remix, zone, clean up, return the cart and other more.

EBgames/Gamestop are small store and easier to get done and nothing to do except for cashier, that scan the games, put in bag and say "thanks" or something.

When I worked at Blockbuster Video, I would sometimes play their games while working if there was nothing to do. ;)

Heh! At least it kept you busy, right?

Nah, I played the games so much that I beat them easily.

For instance, they had the Sonic game for the Genesis once. I could beat the game in under 10 minutes. ;)

They also had a Mario Kart 64 game. I beat the levels in the shortest time possible.

I beat Starfox 64 many times in the shortest time possible.

I beat many other games. Ugh!

I hope you get that job. You look like games is your passion.

Movies are more of my passion than games... but classic cult games are also my passion such as Metal Gear Solid, Super Mario Brother, The Legend of Zelda, etc...

Nowhere.

I wouldn't mind working at Gamestop or Blockbuster Video.

I do hope to work for Gamestop headquarters in Texas when I leave Rochester. :)

I don't see GameStop in Grapevine where I usually pass there on 121 hwy. Any idea where they move to?

Yeah did you know Metal Gear Solid will be turned into a movie? Personally, I would prefer that they use MGS3 as the story since everyone knows the saga really started with MGS3 with Big Boss and how he got misunderstood. I said misunderstand because MGS3 pointed out that Big Boss was never evil at all, because as the game showed, it was the U.S. Government that betrayed him.
