Seconded!!

I worked a part time job in a Toy Store many years ago. The fact that it was in a mall made it MUCH worse. ALL aspiring parents should be forced to work in a toy store before raising their own kids only to see how bad parents create terrible children.

fouthed! I laughed.....alot.

Nope. Every thing is 100% by me. (bad spelling and grammar included) It was late and I couldn't sleep and I felt like writing, just knida wrote what ever popped into my head. Pretty sure I could have gone on but I was getting tired so I ended it and went off the bed.

I like it, besides the spelling errors and format, he has good points.

Most of the GameStop clerks I encountered were not very friendly or helpful.

Ya, you can find some real asses in GS. But for the most part me and the guy's at my store are pretty nice. If you catch us on a bad day we may be a bit crabby. :p

Just remember, Be nice to us and we will be nice to you!

Ham-License without the applicable Grandfather-clause will be $42....Credit Card only and no one-time use numbers chump...

So how many posts like this do I have to make to have "earned the right" to kill some time in a creative way?

$42? YA RIGHT! I don't have that sort of money, I work at GameStop!

nope, some can be really cool. My barber collects comics/toys and had since he was a kid. Just by selling some of his doubles he made over $5k this year.

i cant really relate, but that babysitting thing is total BS. and i can see how it happens too...


My parents used to do that to me when i was 7 or 8. Whenever they went to Sears, Meijers, or somewhere like that, they would drop me off in the video game aisle while they shopped.

#3. We are are not a baby sitting service.

Parents, if you have to go run erinds, bring your kid with you or find a sitter.

I can't tell you how many times ppl have left their kid(s) in my store telling them that they will be back in (*insert time space here*). It pisses me off to no end that some one would leave their kid with compleat strangers, alone. And some of the kids are bearly 5-6yrs, they are WAY to young to by themselves!

And last time I checked, I don't get payed to watch someone kid(s). If I am, I'm not seeing the money.

Maybe I should start charging by the hour... .

I would seriously consider calling Child Protective Services in your area. These people do not need to have their kids.

Your parents may have been strict in every way, except for your Language Arts grades.

thanks for the link. Great reads so far. Oh and good rant, except for the spelling/grammar.

Truth In Advertising

Japanese writing on signs is just sort of cool. So one day, Gord had the painted sign in the window changed. Right below where it said "World Renowned Game Store of the Future", there was a collection of Japanese writings.

The translation: "Cute Japanese girlfriend wanted: Apply with management."

Awesome post, too bad you can't rate people anymore, I'd give the OP a 10.

I frequently visit gamestop, but only when I have to buy a game or do something like that. Max time I stay there is probably 10-20 minutes.

But some of the kids there . . . talk about assfarts
