Pre-order plus buying the game in full = Profit. Sonic Generation isn't out yet.
Right, so you'd make the kid wait for his game? You're unbelievable. However, let's look at the reasons as to how you could have cost the company money.
1. If the gran's struggling with the concept of video games, and which is the best, the idea of pre-ordering may be lost on her too. She may opt out on the sale.
2. After you've undermined the clerks authority for no reason other than to satisfy your ego, the woman may think she's being played, and not purchase something/ not want to go the store again.
Oh God fobid I try to suggest a infromative suggestion to someone. The clerk had no ideal either and just suggested the most popular game in the store. Not really a really great way to do your job, Im pretty sure the kid would rather play a good game. Also taking the fact that CodBO has been out for nearly a year and if he did play those types of games he most likey would of hd it at that time.
It is a perfectly fine way to do your job. Woman comes in asking for a game for her grandson, you point her towards the shoot-em-ups. She asks for something more specific, you point her towards something more specific. I wouldn't mind if you'd actually made an informative suggestion in order to help her and nothing else, but your smug pride about the clerk's frustration sums up how petty you are. You take pride in making someone's shitty job shittier. Congrats.
Who cares how long COD has been out? Maybe he just got a 360. Maybe this is the birthday his rents say he can have shoot em-ups. Maybe his mates have all decided to get something. You don't know and it's none of your business.
Not really. The protagonist is very unsympathetic.
Well you're clearly butthurt if you have to keep resorting to name calling.
How can I not insult a man so petty that he believes a restaurant should ban smokers just so his own meal is more to his liking? People like you just make life less worthwhile.
Like I said, if he liked those things, he most likely would of had this game. Or how about this; maybe you shouldn't give a **** because it's got nothing to do with you? I can atleast asume, that if a G-mom is looking for a game for her grandson that it could be a good guess to say he's around the 5-12 range.
You could at least learn to spell and construct sentences.
All of the above assumptions are nothing more, assumptions. You had no right to get involved based on assumptions.
Oh wow, what a way to twist words. No, I simply suggested a game that a little kid might happen to like more, she brought it, and considering it was at full price as compare to the discounted BlackOps, I'd say the store making money and the kid having a enjoyable is a good thing.
You clearly dislike COD and like Sonic. No twisting of words was necessary.
Comming from the guy that drinks to make friends.
Inaccurate.
Which doesn't matter, because I never suggested the Sonic game based on rating, but instead on Gameplay and presentation.
So it is because you prefer Sonic to COD?
Malanu, I'll say to him what I said to you. None of your business. Step off. Really is that simple. If you know the family or the specifics, then fine. Otherwise, none of your business. At all.
