WHY does this need to be in two different forums?

go back in store tell him the countless cool features in ODST then shock him to dath by saying
"so... i think i'll pre-order CoD:MW2"
then when you pick it up on release day take him outside and burn it
MUWHAHAHA!!!

In that instance you should have said simply, 'no, I have already pre-ordered that', would have saved yourself a headache.

  • 07.18.2009 1:59 AM PDT

What? What an absolute retard. I would go back to the shop, demand to see the store manager and try to have the guy sacked for just being a twat. You don't allow this sort of thing to happen in any other kind of shop, do you? No, in other shops the guy behind the counter gives you what you want and that's that. Why should it be different for this guy? What's the difference between selling a game for this guy and selling a pair of shoes for the guy in the sports shop?

You should have told him to shut up (With or without "You little freak") and give you what you were asking for, because at the end of the day you're the customer and he's just the guy behind the counter who's job is to give the customer what they're damn well asking for. Seriously, I'd have been pissed off if that were me.

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

This is a win post!

I would have said, I don't give a -blam!- about CoD. Gamestop employees tend to say f*** a lot anyway so it wouldn't be new to them

  • 07.18.2009 2:11 AM PDT

Well let's not turn this into a Call of Duty flamefest, guys. No matter what game you order, you, the customer, should get what you wanted. As much as you might want to piss off the guy by complaining to him, do not do so. Make a calm complaint to the manager of that GameStop. And if you do not receive any form of reimbursement (such as money back or a discount) make this a corporate problem. I hope you realize how big of a problem this is. You made a specific order and the clerk failed to fulfill said order properly. You should also make them fix the name on your receipt. You don't want any problems when you go to pick up your game.

Yes it is

Either way, you should just go back there, as for the manager and tell them your story. The only person who should decide which game that you purchase with your own money is, well, you.

Snakie Purple.

"Hamdog, Hamdog, Hamdog, Hamdog"-Hamdog.

Twatter

Wow. He was joking, but... They shouldn't push products.

what's cool is I know all of the employees at my local one pretty well, and they know I prefer Halo over CoD, butI am a Call of Duty fan, too.

They are saving me a pre-order slot for Modern Warfare 2 is it gets pre-ordered a lot.

Great story..
I would call or e-mail Gamestop and tell about the store and the idiot and what he done... maybe you get something nice from it or maybe they just fire his ass. anyway, i think you should cancel and get Halo 3 ODST :D

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

Gamestop can't afford to do that to me at the store I pre-ordered. I might sound like a nerd about saying this but they said I am one of there number one buyers at the particular store as said by numerous of their employees and trust me, I don't hear them say it to everyone. So if they were to screw around with me like that, they wouldn't be getting me to go there anymore.

You know.. Funny you should mention about crazy store clerks and Modern Warfare 2. I was at my local games retailer (I live in Singapore so its Asia too) today to put pre-orders down for the LEs of Halo 3: ODST, Dragon Age: Origins and Modern Warfare 2.

Dude at the counter took down my name and contact number and got me to write what I was there to pre-order. I did that and well, yea. He takes the slip of paper and looks at me, repeating to me what I had written to make sure he got it right. All of a sudden, he stops, looks at me and says "I think you've made a mistake sir". And I'm all like "I beg your pardon?"

And, with the most serious face, he looks at me and says,

"It says here you pre-ordering both the Halo ODST and Modern Warfare 2?"

"Yea I am. Huge fan of shooters and those 2 series in particular"

"Why would you do that?"

"Like I said, I like Halo and COD4 was great"

"I would highly recommend that you cancel your order for Halo ODST, sir"

At this point, I'm getting slightly irritated as I was hungry and wanted to go eat lunch. But I waited and tried to find out more.

"Why?"

"Because you probably won't be spending much time with this Halo game when Modern Warfare 2 comes out. I would also recommend cancelling your order for Dragon Age"

"How do you know that?"

" Have you seen their trailers!?" Dude then proceeds to take a remote and play both the Halo 3: ODST trailer and the Modern Warfare 2 trailer and looks at me.

I'm pissed at this point of time as he had easily just wasted 4 minutes of my time. Dude continues talking.

"So, can I cancel that order now, sir?"

I get pissed off and tell him "Look, its my money. I spend it how I want. Just give me a call when you get the games." And with whatever patience I had left, I muttered "Thanks"

As I walk out the store, he says in chinese "Idiot is just wasting his money."

I'm Indian but know my fair bit of chinese. I turned, shot him a stare and walked off.

To be fair, I didn't go to a gamespot. Singapore doesn't have any of those big name retailers like the States or UK. Its just some Asian Clerk.

Go in there, and tell the manager that you should not have to deal with COD N4zis when you want to pre-order a game. Then proceed to put your limited edition master chief helmet on, order an assault rifle in the mail, and go in there and kill the azn.

Sorry I had to put that in part 1337, N4zis gets -blammed- if it is spelled out normally.
