At Gamestop...if you... have a gamestop locally, you know that we buy back used games and equipment. Well it's like my third or fourth day, and I got maybe an hour before I closed, so I was happy I didn't fuck anything up.
These guys come in with like five games, and a PS2 they wanna trade in.
"Will can you handle that?" the Assistant Manager calls to me.
Eh-heh... I take a breath, and go about it. I've done games, but never a system, I'km working, a bit slow since I'm new to the system, but I get through it.
"Okay, would you like store credit or to pick something up?"
"I want cash."
I stare at him. "Oookay, it's like, 20 percent less than store credit." Whew, I got it right.
"I don't mind."
This point I call over AM, cause I have NO idea how to do a cash exchange. He says ID is required. The boy doesn't HAVE ID. Well GRAND.
So I cancel the WHOLE thing out, and run it under his buddy who does have ID. I do it all over again, do the cash thing, give him the money.
They come back two minutes later.
"Dude, you forgot to give us four dollars."
.... Oh crap, I DID. So, AM comes back, the guys are essentially heckleing me. "I can't believe this, is this a prank? Where's the TV cameras?" Essentially making me feel about as worthy as dirt.
The register is locked, and can't be opened. Have to wait till the next transaction.
"Cha-CHUNG" The sound of the second register CLOSING. Fuuuuuck
"Oh man come on...Are you serious? Where's the cameras?"
I finally get another sale, give them their money, and they walk off. The AM consols me about not letting the customer get to you.. Yeah.. I screwed up.
