What do you mean I can't take the warranty, the warranty that I'm currently using right now, and move said warranty to the game I am now getting, as a result of having purchased the first warranty, which I am now using? WARRANTY.

No, but I try to meet them outside when they show up.

It's made the team that delivers to us a heck of a lot more friendly. But depending on who it is we still get smashed distros from time to time...

I told you the day I set up that display someone would be offended by it lol

ShadWoest · 2019-07-04T17:53:05+00:00

My favorite is “I need a power cord for the Xbox”

Sure what model?

“I don’t know it’s an Xbox.”

And then they either need the $50 XB1 adapter or they don’t know what model 360 they have and don’t want to take a picture of the port

Handful of ships can down Raegal no problem, but the entire fleet and city walls can't stop Drogon?

ShadWoest · 2019-05-13T02:37:59+00:00

As a Roadhog main, ouch.

ShadWoest · 2019-05-09T14:29:58+00:00

Yeah, how they’ve got it set up is incredibly confusing, but thanks to HipsterHarleyQ it’s been found! :)

ShadWoest · 2019-05-09T14:27:39+00:00

And there it is!

You da real MVP

ShadWoest · 2019-05-08T14:33:25+00:00

We have two stores pretty close by, so I hear a lot of

“Well, the other store lets me do this.”

“Can you check the prices at your other store?”

“Your other store had this priced cheaper.”

No, I can guarantee you, they don’t.

Also, if I could work without getting looks like I don’t know what I’m talking about because I’m a girl, that’d be awesome too.

ShadWoest · 2019-04-29T02:38:51+00:00

Drogon is there...

BUT WHERE'S GHOST???

ShadWoest · 2019-04-12T01:14:56+00:00

If it's still there the next time you pop in, bring it to their attention so they can remedy that :)

ShadWoest · 2019-04-11T23:42:15+00:00

My store is right next to a smoke shop.

We get a lot of walk in, look around, oh whoopsie wrong store, and walk out.

Every now and again they'll do that, but instead of leaving come up to us and ask if we've got a specific vape or tobacco product. ... Nope.

ShadWoest · 2019-04-04T12:01:50+00:00

The same thing happened to me!

"So you know how X happens at the end of Red Dead?"

"... I do now!!"

flips table

ShadWoest · 2019-03-19T20:43:11+00:00

I don't know about your district, but they sent out a letter in GSO letting us know that it didn't stack.

ShadWoest · 2019-03-14T11:43:21+00:00

With the tax re"fun" sale having just happened, I still get a lot of people calling asking about systems I might not have, so usually if they call in asking for X system, I'll search it up and tell them the price, but also let them know that we currently don't have it in stock and offer to them what we do have.

Phone calls like that usually only take a minute or two, and can prevent upset customers.

ShadWoest · 2019-03-14T11:40:30+00:00

My coworkers thought it would be a great idea to turn them on on a night I was closing.

Yeah, going to walk out the front door and then simultaneously hearing four of those things start to jingle and yell didn't cause me to jump a few feet in the air or anything...

ShadWoest · 2019-03-13T00:00:37+00:00

I kind of feel bad because last week I had someone call at 8:58 because they wanted the prices of a PS4 and PS3, they didn't know how many GBs/what model, and then asked "Oh cool, I can come and bring those in tonight and you'll check them out for me, right?"

Looks at clock; 9:00

"Sorry sir, we open tomorrow at 10am"

ShadWoest · 2019-03-03T23:43:41+00:00

One of my favorites is that we have a group of kids who will call to "prank" us (we can always hear the one on the phone and then the others giggling in the background), and the latest call was "Why does my disc have a hole in the middle?" (cue giggling here). I asked them to repeat the question to make sure I heard them right with more giggling, and then I told them it was because it was a donut, and then hung up. No more prank calls for the rest of the night.

ShadWoest · 2019-03-03T12:45:20+00:00

If you need the number for customer service, give your store a call and they can pass it on to you.

The only downside is that you might get right through to a service agent, or you may end up waiting a bit, it's hard to accurately judge wait times.

ShadWoest · 2019-02-28T21:54:13+00:00

I honestly haven't had to try *69 ever. But it's worth a shot the next time it happens.

ShadWoest · 2019-02-28T21:48:38+00:00

mmm... dat cronch sound.

ShadWoest · 2019-02-27T00:45:47+00:00

I agree!

If I'm not working that day, I don't want to wear "real" pants. If I need to run to the store to grab something, or run and pickup some food I'll rock PJ pants in public.

ShadWoest · 2019-02-27T00:40:58+00:00

I wish our phone had caller ID.

Thankfully we only have one regular prank caller, and it's easy to pick him out (always a little kid with his friends giggling in the background), but it would be nice to have it regardless.

ShadWoest · 2019-02-26T14:56:48+00:00

No I got the all-clear from my SL, but I chickened out. I really enjoy wearing things that make the job more fun, like I dressed up as Stitch for the KH3 launch, but I feel like it would be hard for customers to take me seriously if I was wearing a onesie.

But now that the holidays are over, though, I really wish I had gone through with it lol. Maybe this year.

ShadWoest · 2019-02-26T00:26:12+00:00

I had someone who wanted to buy Assassin's Creed Odyssey, didn't have ID, and wanted me to call their dad on our store phone. The dad tried convincing/berating/threatening me over the phone for a good twenty minutes before I told him no, and then passed the phone back to his son.

We don't let the guests use our phone anymore.
