Post by: square_marker on May 29, 2002, 04:57:32 PM

No way in hell would I work at EB. You get heaps of freaks in there, and EB employee\'s know jack all.

You an idiot if you want to work there. The only reason I would even consider it would be for the discount. But I don\'t buy many games anyway...

Can you imagine talking about friggen games all day everyday?

Well, at my local EB, there are lotsa really freaky people.

One time, I had this 40 year old guy tell me all about how he got some secret character in Mortal Kombat 2, and how he felt so proud.

Its people like that that give gamers a bad name.

Yeah, maybe with the discout the games there would actually meet the MSRP. The EB near me is way overpriced, I alwyas just go to BestBuy. Not to metion they are bias. Just before Christmas I can remember walking in there and they told me the Xbox was 8 times better than PS2. That place is a joke.

Well, the EBs near me aren\'t nearly as bad as you all make them out to be, but there are other places like that I\'d much rather work.  A place like Best Buy would be better for example.  More space, more variety.

EB is filled with nothing but idiots who will do anything to try and sell you the system that is selling like crap, even if the system sucks.  Why the heck would you want to work there... man that would be hell.

I have an EB right next door to my nearest Wal-Mart. The people there are very knowledgeable (?) about all things game related. I dunno what kinda freaks work at the above mentioned stores, but I love going to mine because the guys (and gals) working there are a lot like me, not just some random employee.

I think your job at EB is to sell all, especially stuff that is sitting on the shelf for too long (Hmm what console would that be?).  

Yeah at my EB or really Soft Etc which is owned by EB now, some of workers are mad cool and fun, some are dorky and some barely even play games.  But they do have a PS2 hooked up so they get to play all the games.
