Okay, so of course I love/hate working for Gamestop. I'm so thrilled that my managers and co-workers are awesome, lovely people opposed to the more common type who just nag customers to reserve something or buy the subscription card. I seriously love this job mainly because of the amusing customers we have all the time. Some of them, insane is just an indescribable word. XD
Today we had this one guy come in... he looked about.... um... possibly in his late 20's/early 30's, and he asked me if we had any Mario games for the playstation 2. An obvious no, because I explained it was a Nintendo exclusive. And... maybe I thought he was just one of those older people who don't really know things like that and may be out of touch of the video game world which is forgivable, but he went on some... angry tirade and said this:
"WELL. If Nintendo even wants to make any sort of money whatsoever, if they were smart, they'd put their Mario games onto other systems! If that was so, they wouldn't be in such low hole right now!"
Normally we aren't supposed to make fun of customers or anything to their faces, but I couldn't help to burst out laughing and he stormed out right before I could say anything else. Oof, I'm sorry mister. XD
Second off, we had some guy call in and ask:
"Yeah, you know that weather game for the Wii? Is it free?"
That was probably the cutest most hilarious phone call ever, because Penny Arcade just did a strip about that a few months ago when the Weather Channel feature came out for it here: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/12/20
I just told him "Yea." XD I love'em.
Anyway, I hope you all are enjoying a lovely summer so far, I'm working on two costumes for CONvergence so far, I'm so bummed I'm poor and I live in MN so I can't make it to AX or Otakon. XD All of you who are going, please have fun for me.
BUT! Tara(Tessceres) will be joining me for fun fun CONvergence time, woo! Less' get nekky with your Ariel costume in the pool X3
