Gamestop

So Saturday I went to Gamestop. I had a couple games to sell, and although I hate the Gamestop in Longview, its easy to get to. So I go in, sell my games, get 35 dollars for credit, and proceed to look around for something to get. I look at the used copies of Soul Caliber 2 and find one that's practically perfect, and pick it up. I already have SC2 on gamecube but mine is the Japanese version so I needed an English version.

I go to the checkout, and hand him the game, and for some reason h walks over to a drawer. He comes back with a used Soul Caliber 2, but the box is covered in scratches. I'm ok at this point, I wasn't sure if he put my disc in an older case so they had a display one that was better condition. So I pay for it, and walk out, well I stop in the parking lot while walking back and open the case to check, and they switched the discs on me. The one I had in my hands now was covered in scratches and looked like someone raked it across charcoal.

So, now I'm pissed off. I turn around and walk back in. They are both already staring at me knowing they got caught. The SECOND I walk in the door one goes, "Did I give ya the wrong one?"

"Yeah, ya did," I say with a smartass smile. He says sorry and goes over and picks mine up off the counter and gives me the one I was buying in the first place. I turned around without saying a word and walked out.

What kind of shitty business switches your game with another at the checkout? This was the most appalling thing I've ever had happen to me in regards of buying any kind of electronics. I have a credit still from the games I sold, and I wish I had just taken cash for the games. I hope I can use the credit at another store at least, but no matter what happens, once the credit is gone I will never again in my life shop at any store that is part of their chain.

That's pretty crapy man. I can see how those jerks would do that. That dork propably won dibs on the game during a bullet sweating game of dungeon and dragons in his mom's basement. I can see him giggling to himself in the goofy scientist laugh from the Simpsons. "I'll just do a switcheroo, hehe it rhymed."
