    Bigotry, Leve Nine.

    So yesterday my mom takes me to Gamestop, nothing was out of order until I head up to the counter with my games. I have mario kart, for the 3DS, Resident Evil: Revelations and see about pre-ordering Pokemon X.
    I am very young looking, so most people don't know I'm eighteen unless I tell them and show them my ID card.

    Cashier: Resident Evil? For your brother?
    Me: Uh, no..it's for me.
    Cashier: ...Your boyfriend?
    Me: It's for me.*Slightly erked at having to repeat myself*
    Cashier: Miss are you aware that your daughter is buying an M rated game?
    Mom: Yes, she's eighteen, but I wouldn't care other wise.(She's an awesome mom)
    Cashier: I'm sorry why don't you come back with your daddy, to make sure you're getting the right game.

    And then he just walks away! Like he hadn't listened to us at all! Mom is pissed, she demands the manager from the cashier who was working right next to him(HER jaw had dropped as she was listening to everything that had transpired.)

    Manager wasn't in, so we have to wait til monday! Wow, WTF!

    Please tell me the other cashier at least rang you out so you got your games? I mean seriously. WHAT THE HELL!?

    Why are there still people who think that gaming = boy thing?

    It's so I can get ideas out of my head, I decided to put it in a blog in case people are bored or are curious as to the (many) things in progress.

      WTF? That's just wrong. Honestly, you're better off taking your money elsewhere. Like Amazon.
      Random conversation:
      Me: Okay..so I think I get why Zoro wears a bandana
      DDD: Cuz it's cool
      So, by using the Doctor's reasoning, bow ties, fezzes and bandanas are cool.

        Okay, finally got my brain rebooted and still all I can get out of it is "Dafuq?" I mean, seriously.. some of us ladies don't particularly like Barbie games! And the main reason I get Sims is to lock them in a room with no door...

        I think I'd have taken out my ID, and then flat told him that if it hadn't been a family establishment, the wording of my next comment would have made a sailor blush. And I learned my cursing from a sailor! Then I'd have asked him what his kill count in Halo 4 was and told him how high mine was, along with my PvP in WoW, and that I could and would take his RL car apart before he got out the door. But then I take a bit after MY mom, who dotted a guy's eyes for saying she needed to be in the kitchen fixing him a sandwich.
        If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

          Ok, I have popcorn, alcohol and cake and am going to sit here for the next 24 hours until I hear the outcome of this! Seriously? Did he really say 'Daddy?'

          And I DO want to know if the other cashier checked you out, because if you were 18 they have no reason to deny you the game!

              That, right there, is a paradigm shifting without a clutch.

                  I am just thankful the GS stores here aren't that bigoted. One of them even heard what I liked (Dragon age, Elder Scrolls) and directed me to a game that my BF ended up getting for me me for an early Christmas Gift. (kingdom of amalur, which turned out to be a cross between the other 2 I liked... i'd be playing it now if i hadn't gotten sucked into skyrim too! lol).

                  However if they HAD been shitheads like the one you dealt with... then I'd have just said "fine, I'll go to the other GS! Bye!"
                  (we have 7 to pick from within a 30 mile radius, two of which are in the same mall (one was a former EB))


                  I hope you get to talk to the manager and let them know that his employee DENIED you a sale because he didn't think an 18 year old girl should play the game without Daddy's approval. I mean sure, in hard economic times many game stores actually have increased business (cos it's cheaper to buy a game and play it a lot vs going out all the time)... but not so much that you want to shit away a good sale, and possibly drive away a good (non-sucky) customer.

                  BTW - jay I love that gif!

                    Awesome games (all of them. I really love Amalur. Shame the company that made it has gone under )

                    I know lots of gamer girls. I've grown up around them. My mom was one, FFS! She's not so much anymore mainly because she gets motion sickness from them now...

                    I've never worked in a game store, but the only question I'd ask that would be similar to his would be to the parent, trying to explain what's in it. Yes, I am one of those annoyed that ten year olds are cursing up a storm on Call of Duty, GTA, etc.

                      Why on earth would any service assistant care who's buying what game, as long as they're old enough to do so legally? Unless they specifically say they're buying it as a gift, and need some advice on what game to buy.

                      I don't normally recommend firing someone for just one mess-up, but this one was so huge that this guy needs to be fired.

                          Makes me think of the times I've bought something not traditionally used for the purpose I intend it for, and when employees asked what I was going to do and I explained, I would immediately have to cut them off and tell them that I KNOW it sounds weird, but I know exactly what I'm doing, thanks!

                          I mean, geeze, if the customer is sure what they want, give it to them!

                          I was pleasantly surprised when I bought a firearm that the male salespeople didn't try to sell me something I didn't want; in fact they helped tailor my purchase. Now, it seemed every male customer within earshot tried to talk me out of it "Naw little lady, that aint the gun you want, you want a _______ (insert gigantic impractical expensive name-brand semi here)."

                            Are you fing kidding me?? Want to borrow my gravity hammer? I would have to bite my tongue so hard that it would probably fall out.

                            Probably one of those guys that would make a get back in the kitchen comment if you ever came across him in game. Which he would promptly take a shotgun blast to the face(in game of course!)
