No I don't want to fricking pre-order anything. I told you that the 1st time yet you ask me 3 more fricking times after I have said NO every single time. I don't give a flying frick about about a free fricking sword on that cum guzzler Zelda. I don't even like that fantasy bullshite.
Just ring my shite up so I can be on my way.
Dude was pissed at me because I wouldn't pre-order another game. Do they get some kind of bonus for getting people to pre-order?

Ya know, I used to get mad at that too. Then when a game came out I wanted, I wished I would preordered it for the preorder bonuses.
So now I just preorder a new game everytime
And its their job to ask. I'm sure gamestop could find any mouthbreather to ring videogames up... They need ppl to sell their shite as well. probably a competitive job market (lot of unemployed college gamers)... They are required to hound you

You sure? You could put five bucks down and if you change your mind later we could move it to a different game.

They ask me everytime I go in there, so I try to keep on pre-order up at all times and tell them I don't really play other games than said game.

I used to manage a GameStop. Employees are expected to score at Least two reserves and two game informer subscriptions a day.

Ordering online usually nets you a better deal!

Why does this not surprise me.

Theyre awful about that shite man, got the game pass from blockbuster and they started doing the same shite..

This is why I only go to one Gamestop. They all know me pretty well and only recomend shite they know I'll be interested in. They also call me if they get big news I might not have heard, and let my fiance pick up my shite without the receipt.

Gamestop relentlessly pursues pre-orders by asking multiple times simply because it's effective. Those little added bonuses work as well. From time to time we'll have a customer cancel a pre-order because GS is offering something that we can't offer. They are a huge billion $ corporation that is able to get special treatment from game publishers.
We have customers come in all the time complaining about GS but those are a minority. Otherwise GS would not be as successful as they are.
Take the GS on College Drive for example during a midnight launch for a big title. On many occasions their line of customers is upwards of several hundred feet long. That's the accumulation of pre-orders over a period of many months from their badgering of just about every customer that makes a purchase at their store. It's successful. That's why they do it.

I was picking up my game last night and they asked if I wanted to preorder something. I'm poor as shite, no... I don't want to preorder anything.

I've just heard it alot.
Like someone else said, if you find one gamestop and just go to that one, then the employees eventually get to know you and that shite goes away.

I tried to pre-order MW3 from you last week but you couldn't get the good stuff. Sucks that I am forced to go somewhere else. I like GameWare on College.

Gee, I wonder what store you're representing?
What you said is true, though. I'll never have the luxury of them knowing me or anything, I don't buy a lot of games. I usually buy one and ride that until there's something else I just can't miss. Last game I bought was Dead Island, before that was Starcraft II.. I just bought BF3 and have Skyrim Preordered and that will likely take me to ME3. I am too damn poor to buy all these awesome games that come out

Cannot stand em. When I went get my Batman Arkham City game it took me 25 minutes. Between wanting me to get the DLC codes early, to the disc warranty, to pre orders, to their DAMN MEMBERSHIP.
By the end of it I was just like "NO NO NO NOOOOOOO"
Best Buy from now on fellas.
