[:plant:] Zero Originality, A Rather Redundant Exposé. PEOPLE suck at shopping.

He sounds just as boring as this guy.

So I actually watched that whole thing last night (because there was really no point in watching Prison Break), and yeah, there's nothing really new there to people already in the know. Add that to the fact that I think Zero Punctuation is fucking retarded, and you have the biggest waste of 90 minutes I can recall in recent memory.

And honestly, I actually got kinda pissed at the part where he mentioned his store was actually good. I've been to many a Gamestops in my day, and I've yet to see one that actually qualifies as good, so I find it funny that the one he just so happened to work at was good.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's a lot of criteria for a store to qualify as good, though. The employees are one thing, but what about the store itself? I can't recall ever going into a store that had a combination of good employees, organized shelves and bins (I know the employees aren't completely to blame for this, but they could still try harder), working kiosks, and most importantly, good quality games (this is pretty much impossible until GS changes their policy on gutting games and what they accept as trade-ins).

I honestly don't think these standards are too high. And I know other stores don't adhere to most of these either, but at least they have incentives such as sales that make wading through their shitty stores worth it (I just bought 4 brand new games at Circuit City yesterday for about $70 that would have cost me over $125 used at GS). I have nothing personal against GS, but they suck (all of them).

So I guess it just depends on your own standards as to whether a store is good or not, and by my own it's pretty much impossible for any GS to be good until they make some fundamental changes. So sorry, I have no plans to make any trips to West Virginia.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
