Considering the full-price latest crap EB and other stores are so happy to push at every customer, I don't think their employee's have any right to be giving any kind of looks at their customers, as if they somehow know better what someone else should try.
I've never had this happen to me at any store, but then I very rarely buy games that are universally considered crap. They're either completely unknown or well regarded in general. The guys at Savepoint have a policy of not to comment negatively on any game someone is buying, unless they specifically ask for their opinion on it. In those kinds of situations they've never hesitated to say if a game is pretty crappy. There's been more than one occasion when someone's asked if Catwoman is any good and they've been told it's unbelievably bad.
I personally think it's a good, honest policy. Enough to make business, but honest enough to be worth listening to. If I ever should even go to stores where mere clerks feel the need to spout dribble like "I personally don't think you should buy that Pokemon game because all pokemon games are crap even though I've never even played one, but anyway you should really preorder this Digimon Portable Battle Arena for PSP instead!", I don't even pay attention. I tend to go to a store for a certain title, and not listen to what someone else thinks, but that's just me.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
