Seriously, I HATE GameStop.
This is a "Cool Story Bro" moment, I admit. It's about me picking up Marvel vs Capcom LE/CE edition for PS3 without preordering it.
I tried preordering this game, but unfortunately I was unable to because the system refused any more pre-orders. However, the associate I know, which I will call Becky, knew I wanted the game, so she placed me "on hold" in case someone cancels their order.
So I went today and noticed that Becky was not working at the time, but instead, two assholes from another store (transferred from a very BAD store) were there. I ask them "By any chance, is there a LE/CE version of the PS3 available?" The assholes say "NO SORRY MAN" with an arrogant attittude. I found this odd, but I decided to leave and call Becky later on.
So I did. 45 minutes later, I got in contact with her and she checked...someone DID cancel the game earlier during the day and the assholes lied to me. She placed it on hold and sice it was close to work (two minute walking distance in the same mall), I ran over there as fast as I could. Becky and the two idiots were there. I talked to Becky and she takes out the copy on hold for me. The idiots look at me badly, and Becky hands the game to one of them to sell to me. The idiot asks me "YOUR NAME PLEASE" and I told them that I was going to buy it without preordering it. He tells me "YOU CANNT BUY IT BECAUSE YOU DID NOT PREORDER". I tell him that Becky checked and one was cancelled. He got angry and went to talk to Becky and she confirmed the cancellation. Pissed off, he starts the transaction and I ask if any preorder goodies were included. He says "NO YOU DO NOT GET THE BOOK BECAUSE ITS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO PREORDERED". I said fine and paid. I went to Becky only to find out that the preorder goodie was a decal/sticker and that the book was included.
While leaving, I noticed the pricks were looking at me badly. My guess is that I went over their heads to someone with higher power. They sure have great customer satisfaction skills.... *sigh*
Seems the assholes wanted it for themselves. Pricks. Thankfully, I will blast them when I do the survey thing...see how long they last after consecutive bad experiences.
Yes, the capitals are in my post because the assholes were actually raising their voices at me, many times in disgust.
Assholes. Becky awesome, though.
