Hmm, UT2003 is dead to the gaming world, while BF1942 is IT as the alternative to CounterStrike. Sounds like a legit marketing move to me. But I'd also appreciate the poster 
All the employees at BB ar morons!
Where did you say you worked again, Brizz?
*sigh* Sad but true. I was reading a gaming magazine last night (was it Game Insider? I can't even remember the names of my own subscriptions. I'm getting old!). They were talking about all the great games that are coming out in the next few months, and listed Halo 2, Half-Life 2, etc, etc. Listed about 10 games in all, and not one of them was UT2k4. To me it showed just how little esteem the UT series now holds.

Roger that.
Whenever I ask about games at BB, the skinny semi-messy-spikey-gell haired punk that works there always gives me the "at-ti-tude" when I've got a question about a space shooter.
But they're better than the guy that works at Game Spot, he acts like everyone is a cockroach. If you ask him something, you get a barely audible hiss as he looks up from his magazine...
teens....as if a smile would kill them....
lol @ Han
Man I want to work at a game store. I was at one right before Christmas and some woman was looking for a gift for her son. She said he liked two different games and she was looking for a similar one to both of those. The girl who was working recommended some game they had 110000000 copies of - NFSU. I was like, "Um, this game" (I can't remember which one it was now) " is so much more what you are looking for." The salesperson was like "Oh, yes, right that would be much better." Bah!

You mean that really cool huge UT2004 sign hung up high for everyone in the store to see?! At all the BestBuy stores? Why not just hang another one? Bastards....

Be happy you got a Best Buy. There is none in Hawaii. In fact the only gaming stores we have is Gamespot. And those guys don't know crap. The only thing they advertise here is FFXI. Can some one at least take a pic and post it here of that poster. I never saw a Unreal poster.
lol I work at Best Buy. We get a good deal on accessories! I can get a $26 USB cable for $1.25 and a $60 USB hub for $25.
as for how they treat their employees...well I can only speak for my store, and some of the managers are idiots. I'll put it that way.
I'm actively trying to find a different job.

My Best Buy issue:
Whenever I go into the store an associate approaches me and asks "Are you finding everything you are looking for today?". I have no problem with that at all, but it is the follow up statement that I have an issue with. Usually goes a little something like this....."We don't work on commission, so feel free to ask me anything." What the H-E-double hockey sticks is that all about? I don't understand what their pay has to do with my finding Nirvana: Unplugged in New York on DVD. Just a little too much information .
*shrugs*

because most people don't want to talk to us because they think we will try to push expensive high margin items to get commission. we normally won't.
however, some of the stores, apparently, force stuff on their customers. like selling a computer and telling them that whther they like it or not they are getting 6 months of MSN free (all we need is your credit card, right?
) Because of this, I'm | | this cloe to quitting. Our new sales manager is TELLING US to say this to our customers and my whole department is pissed.

I completely understand what you are saying.
However, there are ways to convey the same point without thowing tack out the window. They all sound like robots, no matter who I talk to in the store they say the same thing. A salesman needs to know how to size a customer up and shmooze them accordingly. I couldn't handle acting like I have a pre-rehersed selling pitch in my pocket.
That said, I don't blame you for wanting to quit. As soon as management starts controlling employees like they are trying with you, it is time to move on. Good luck finding a new job!

Isn't that Battlefield : Vietnam?
See, I wasn't hoping to get into sales, but more like their hardware / upgrade service. Dead computers don't talk back.
There's a new gaming store where I live now, gamestop or somethin like that. Goodbye crappy target/fred myer prices and selection. I no longer have to drive all the way to layton for my gaming needs!1

The customers that own them do. I think the tech service is worse than the sales team.
As far as sounding like robots, you must have been in a store that is doing poorly because they are training their employees that way. I rarely tell people I'm on commission, because just chatting about the right printer to buy most people aren't uncomfortable. Before closing the sale I always make sure I've mentioned it, but I never like flat out say "Hello I'm not on commission so ask me what you'd like" that just sounds dumb.
And Sek...SHHHH
Right now I have a second job doing phone support for tax software. It's a better job, and I make more money, I just don't know if I'll still be on after tax season is over. If so, good bye best buy. Or if this guy gets out of control I won't care.
