[General Discussion] Gamestop and gutted games

I hate shopping at Gamestop.

I went to purchase Guilty Gear XX today, and I saw that they had 2 gutted display copies of the games. I asked the cashier if they had any unopened copies of the game and then he just started to lecturing me about how display copies are the same as "brand new." I've been through this discussion with this store so many times that I don't want to waste my time, but since I was purchasing another game I couldn't leave. Well, I shouldn't leave, I mean why should I leave? He kept pestering me about how displayed displayed copies are new and wanted to show me the disc, but I told him to don't bother and that opened games aren't new. Afterwards I kept repeating "I just want that game" for like 10 times. Then he goes on trying to make me feel bad by talking about how I'm going to waste gas going to another store, and having the other employees support him in the fact that I won't be able to find a sealed copy and sarcastically saying "good luck finding it." He pestered me for about 15 minutes before ringing me up.

I mean what the heck is that?! Why did they have to gut 2 copies? Anyways, I hate shopping at Gamestop, but they're one of the easiest places to get niche games, so I can't do much about it. We'll, besides ordering online, but I shouldn't have to avoid buying it at the store.

What are your thoughts about how Gamestop works? Angry? Satisfied? Don't care?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
