A couple of weeks ago I visited EB Games located in the Auburn SuperMall. I had my two year daughter and three year old son with me. We entered the store around 8:30 pm knowing the store closed in a half hour. I quickly located two games I’d been looking for and was about to bring them to the counter to purchase, when one of the employees approached me and said, “We have some big important people coming from corporate tomorrow and would like to try to keep the games organized”. I noticed that my daughter had picked up a game from the shelf. The employee stared at my daughter and then back at me. I got the message.
I no longer had any desire to purchase the two games I had in hand so I just put the on the shelf, grabbed my kids and left the store. I guess EB Games employees are more concerned with having an organized shelf full of games than actually selling them to customers. I wonder what the “big important people from corporate” would say had they been able to see how this employee acted. There were two other employees in the store at the time that stood close to this idiot and neither said a word.
So I went to Fred Meyer, found the same two games and bought them, saving $15 in the process. Next time I’m a the mall I think I’ll go mess up a few shelves full of games.
