How to confuse video game rental stores
Posted by admin on 26th May 2008
I never knew how easy it is to confuse the crap out of people who work at Hastings with a very simple question. So Yesterday, I went to Hastings with my brother, and we were going to buy a new PS3, and at the store there was this large sign on the ceiling that said if you buy a new PS3, you get a free bluetooth remote to go with it. That was a pretty good deal, because alone it is $20. When we finally found someone to unlock the case and get one, which took FOR EVER, that is when things started to go crazy! After everyone else in front of us checked out, we started paying for our stuff, and mentioned that there was a free remote that we were supposed to get, and that confused the crap out of the person working there. She started looking at the box trying to find out if it came with the remote. At that point, I’m thinking, what the heck are you doing? It doesn’t come with the remote, we are supposed to get a free one when we purchase a new PS3. Then she asks one of the other employees to go check and see if they could find the sign that talked about the free remote. For a while, I thought the guy got lost, because that took for ever. At this point, there was a LONG line starting to build up, and we are thinking, how hard is it to look up and read the big sign that reads “free remote with purchase of new Playstation 3.” Finally, he comes back with a remote. She rang everything up and we got to leave. That has got to be the longest I have ever spent standing in line at Hastings, and it all started with a very simple question, and ended up confusing the crap out of about two employees.
