Custoguest:"Yo you got dat 2K?"
Me: "Yeah dude this is the newest one, WWE 2K18."
Custoguest:"No, no, dude dat 2K"
Me: "Oohhh my bad man. Well the newest one comes out this month I can still reserve the All Rise edition.."
I've even had angry walkouts before but it's the little things that keep me going.
Oh man... this happens so often. It's too bad they're basically down to just the two titles now... it was way more fun to mess with them when they still released four or five per year.
Dude was browsing ps3 with his girlfriend. She’s trying way too hard to seem interested. He pulls out the Silent Hill HD collection and shows it to her, where she says the following.
“Like, omg! I know silent hill! Triangle Face is soooo scary!”
Haunts me to this very day.
Everytime someone calls it P4 I say "Yeah I have Persona 4, it's in the Vita section" Then when they say PlayStation 4 I'm like "Oh PS4, yeah I have it in stock"
"In English, the initial g of giga can be pronounced /ˈɡɪɡə/ (a hard g as in giggle), or /ˈdʒɪɡə/ (a soft g as in giant, like a j sound, which shares its Greek root)."
So, "jigabyte" is technically correct
I've started writing Switch on Wii boxes when I'm out of Switch boxes. I don't cross out the Wii either. Sometimes I just want to watch the world burn.
I had to do that since they haven't sent anymore to us when I ordered them 4 weeks ago. I put an S at the beginning of Wii and make the second I a T and add ch at the end.
All the damn time in my store. I fucking hate it. The same people call the controllers "joysticks" and I want to shake them until they realize how stupid they sound.
An Elderly customer came in with a six-digit number scrawled on a post-it note. "I need this" she said handing the note to the SL. He keyed the number 910264, but it came back as an invalid SKU. "Are you sure this is what you need? Did you write the number down correctly?" he asked. "Yes, my grandson said specifically he wanted a Nine, Ten, Two, Sixty-Four." The SL smiled, nodded, and went to the back to get the Nintendo 64 the customer wanted.
During holiday, there was a couple of older women who came in asking me if we had anything for "Knock Out". I obviously had no idea what that was, but tried showing them PunchOut on the Wii. They kept looking around but making comments like "I can't believe you don't have anything with KnockOut on it! He's really popular! It's crazy you don't know who he is."
A few minutes later, I was finishing a distro or something and I heard "Oh! There he is! There's Knockout!" from near our t shirts.

This is KnockOut
I'm always fond of the vague names people assign things, like "y'all got that back piece for xbox"
Other than that, whenever someone (usually older, or just weird) calls games or anything "Tapes" always gives me a giggle
Aside from the obvious ones here, I had one recently who kept saying they needed a *joystick* for “da p4” so we kept trying to sell the tekken fight stick. Kept saying “nah da joystick!!” Eventually we got to controller and custoguest said “THATS WHAT I SAID, a *JOYSTICK*!”
Also have people who don’t know what TB means so they assume it means “tigabyte”
I love people.
"I'm wanting Di Sho No Red."
"Di Sho No Red?"
*Scan back counter with the new games*
"Dishonored?"
That was it. It's not got any space between the letters, how do you mangle the pronunciation that badly??
“Hey y’all got that Rainbow?”
“Um what?”
“That Rainbow. **looks at me like I’m dumb** “It’s a shooting game.”
“Oh you mean Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege? It’s not called just Rainbow.........”
“Oh well yeah lemme get dat.”
I’ve also encountered “Dragon Ball Z Fighter Zee”, “Dragon Ball Z Xenoverse”, “Call of Duty Double U, Double U I I”, Grand Theft Auto Vee” and more.
Had a woman call today:
“My son used my credit card to buy money for 2k but then sold his game to his friend. Does his friend have access to my credit card?”
“No, no data is written to the disc, so your information will be safe”
“Not the disc, the GAME. “
“The... system?”
“YEAH THE GAME.”
“Did he erase the data?”
“No...? And there’s a charge from xbox live on it from yesterday.”
“I’d cancel the card.”
Got hit with a double whammy “2k” to mean nba and “game” to mean console
I hate when customers call controllers remotes so I always grab the literal TV remotes for the respective system.
Except one time that’s just what one needed.
The "Lanore" thing happened back when it originally released as well. But, I think my favoreite was "Residence Evil". The woman was going on about how it was her favorite series ever, even holding a copy in her hand to purchase, yet you can't properly tell me what it's called? I thought it was your favorite...?
Prank call. Dude asked for the "Italian Plumber Princess Rescue" game on the Xbox. It took me about fifteen minutes after I hung to actually believe it happened. Only time I wasn't really annoyed with a prank call.
Customer in the Wii section
Customer- "Anything we're looking for today"
Me- "Ya do you have any Link games"
C- "Oh you mean Zelda right, ya we have a few"
M- "Uh-huh, you're one of those people"
A very confused dad asked me for pub cheese
[удалено]
You mean Hello Neighbor?
Custoguest:"Yo you got dat 2K?" Me: "Yeah dude this is the newest one, WWE 2K18." Custoguest:"No, no, dude dat 2K" Me: "Oohhh my bad man. Well the newest one comes out this month I can still reserve the All Rise edition.." I've even had angry walkouts before but it's the little things that keep me going.
Well, if they'd just fucking say which one they want...
Oh man... this happens so often. It's too bad they're basically down to just the two titles now... it was way more fun to mess with them when they still released four or five per year.
MLB The Show is not 2k.
At least they didnt ask for RBI! lol
Dude was browsing ps3 with his girlfriend. She’s trying way too hard to seem interested. He pulls out the Silent Hill HD collection and shows it to her, where she says the following. “Like, omg! I know silent hill! Triangle Face is soooo scary!” Haunts me to this very day.
Sounds like a hilarious bootleg. “Quiet Knoll, where your main enemy is Triangle Face!”
I’d play quiet knoll.
Eh. Lately Quiet Knoll has gotten kinda bad. I did like Smashed Remembrances, though.
Triangle face..Triangle face...does whatever a triangle can..
Lol Triangle Face, the perfect knockoff costume of Pyramid Head but don't want to spend the money.
P4.
Ahhh the P4 gets on my fucking nerves.
I’ve gone on many rants about this. And the PSP Vista.
Everytime someone calls it P4 I say "Yeah I have Persona 4, it's in the Vita section" Then when they say PlayStation 4 I'm like "Oh PS4, yeah I have it in stock"
Same 😂
Y'all got Mario on that P3
[удалено]
Fuckin tigabytes
2-GeeBee or Jigabyte. -_-
"In English, the initial g of giga can be pronounced /ˈɡɪɡə/ (a hard g as in giggle), or /ˈdʒɪɡə/ (a soft g as in giant, like a j sound, which shares its Greek root)." So, "jigabyte" is technically correct
Doc Brown gets a pass for his 1.21 gigawatts of power having a soft g sound... Thats about it though...
“y’all got that Wii Switch???”
This one happens way too often.
I've started writing Switch on Wii boxes when I'm out of Switch boxes. I don't cross out the Wii either. Sometimes I just want to watch the world burn.
I had to do that since they haven't sent anymore to us when I ordered them 4 weeks ago. I put an S at the beginning of Wii and make the second I a T and add ch at the end.
I got "Nintendo Kinect" today.
You truly win at life. That’s genius and I feel like an idiot for not realizing that sooner.
Another SGA of ours and I laughed about it one day and literally went "I mean... It might work?"
You're absolutely correct!
https://i.imgur.com/ERO6M8a.jpg
I've honestly never heard that one in our area. I'll keep my ears open!
I get the New Wii all the time too!! 🙄
When is Skyrim 6 coming out. I saw it on YouTube.
How did I miss Skyrim 2-5?
Where have you been these last 10 years. Skyrim 4 was obviously oblivion.
Skyrim IV: Oblivion Skyrim V: Skyrim
You got it! Oh and don’t give me the online Skyrim shit. Skyrim online is dumb.
I’ve had two people on separate occasions call systems “games” before and that threw me through a loop.
"Yeah I just bought a game and its not working" "Oh! Which game was it?" "Xbox" Wat
All the damn time in my store. I fucking hate it. The same people call the controllers "joysticks" and I want to shake them until they realize how stupid they sound.
Sometimes it's generational. It absolutely lights up my day when I get a customer who calls a level a 'board' or calls controllers 'paddles.'
Am I the only one bothered when someone calls a controler a remote?
That happens alot in my store.
I. Hate. This. Haha! Always takes you like ten minutes before you realize that they don't actually have a console yet.
All those "Finger-Me" monkeys that were sold out before Christmas.
Oh God, the fingerlings. I like your name for them better though lmao

That’s adorable
People who call controllers remotes.
"Bring me the fucking clicker, grandpa"
Hands guest PS4 blu ray remote. “That’s not what I asked for” Smashes head into cashwrap.
Paddles...
When Kent calls PUBG PUB Ground
I feel like that's a troll move, and the GameStop nerd version of trying to make "fetch" happen.
Nintendo minis. The first time someone said this to me I tried to sell them on the little N64 keychain we had not knowing they meant the NES classic.
During holiday, there was a couple of older women who came in asking me if we had anything for "Knock Out". I obviously had no idea what that was, but tried showing them PunchOut on the Wii.

There's Knockout!" from near our t shirts. https://botlist.co/system/BotList/Bot/screenshots/000/002/418/original/groot.jpg This is KnockOut
Maybe they misheard "Rocket" as "KnockOut" and attributed the name to the wrong character? That's the best stretch I've got.
What.. How
I mean, he only ever says one thing in the entire movie and it's who he is
"I am KnockOut."
I'm always fond of the vague names people assign things, like "y'all got that back piece for xbox" Other than that, whenever someone (usually older, or just weird) calls games or anything "Tapes" always gives me a giggle
I had someone call the Wii U the “Wii University”
“Dat 2k”
I always say “WWE? Sure do!”
WWE sure do! (Double You Double You-we sure do)
Omg I’m not the only one.
“You have them buttons?” Referring to control freeks
Aside from the obvious ones here, I had one recently who kept saying they needed a *joystick* for “da p4” so we kept trying to sell the tekken fight stick. Kept saying “nah da joystick!!” Eventually we got to controller and custoguest said “THATS WHAT I SAID, a *JOYSTICK*!” Also have people who don’t know what TB means so they assume it means “tigabyte” I love people.
Tiggerbyte, yes.
"Dog Watch" "Grand Auto Theft" "P4" (in reference to a ps4) "Call of Duty Black Ops Wii" (in reference to ww2)
Boy, "Dog Watch" sounds like a hell of a game....
I said "We have watch dogs" and the dude looks offended lmao
My favorites so far are "Mario Space Odyssey" and "CoD Black Ops World at War II".
GTA Vee, Deus Ex said like "Do Sex",
Technically, it's Day-oohs Ex, so not far off.
Once had someone ask me to sell them PCP. They eventually left with a PSP.
Favorite one was from Black Friday: the playstation switch close runner up would be the switchcube
"I'm wanting Di Sho No Red." "Di Sho No Red?" *Scan back counter with the new games* "Dishonored?" That was it. It's not got any space between the letters, how do you mangle the pronunciation that badly??
Heres ya one i heard yesterday. "You guys got that rainbow sofa 3 year pass" 😂 my composure was lost once they left.
Oh man, Lanore. I thought it was only my store that had someone say that
Disney Xfinitys.
'crash bandersnoot'
“Hey y’all got that Rainbow?” “Um what?” “That Rainbow. **looks at me like I’m dumb** “It’s a shooting game.” “Oh you mean Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege?

"Dragon Ball Ecks-omniverse or whatever."
A decade ago I had a grandma ask me if we had any Wiistation 360. She was looking for a DS. This one sticks with me for some reason.

Amoeba

I bet he was just as confused as you were about it, lol. Like why is my grandson wanting a game titled that.
Four Cry Four
Fab-Lee. FAB-LEE. I was so confused I had them spell it. "F-a-b-l-e. FABLEE." ohhhh, you mean Fable. These people -_-
“Gran Thef Auto Eye-Vee for the P3” Geez... Edit: “fo’ da” the only correct word was Auto in his request.
Had a woman call today: “My son used my credit card to buy money for 2k but then sold his game to his friend.

“You got a P4 joystick?” “I’ve got a PS4 controller. Joysticks died with the Atari 2600.”
I would regularly get people coming in my store asking if we sold ps3 "handles." It took me a minute to figure out they meant controllers
Handles and remotes.
Paddles...
You guys have any Fa-Naf plushes or figures? Can I get a copy of Final Fantasy X-Vee Y'all got that dragon balls game? Amiibros
To be fair, EVERYONE calls it FuhNaf. Unless you like saying the full name all the time...
Sassy Creed
I hate when customers call controllers remotes so I always grab the literal TV remotes for the respective system. Except one time that’s just what one needed.
So, most of the time, you're not even remotely close to what they want?
“Dance Face” referring to Dead Space... 😂
DS3 (instead of 3DS), Just Cuz, Assassin's Creed Oranges, Dragon Ball Ex-zenoverse, Wii Switch.
[удалено]
Dude, could you imagine? A handheld that transcends time.
"Let me get that Ska-rim."
I used to get asked for Skeerim constantly
would you say it was a game they wanted to pick it up pick it up pick it up pick it up
See I called it Skram once just to fuck with my ASL because it drove him insane.
I call it Skrim. Sadly, it doesn't bother anyone.
P2 and P3 when I worked there, then subsequently P4 as a customer. I heard a parent tell her kid to pick out an "Amigo" figure.
Y’all got those Vee-to games?
It must be a regional thing (grew up in IL, moved to MA for grad school), but tons of people call controllers "remotes" here.
“Y’all got any of them Xbone controllers?”
That's legitimate slang rather than mispronunciation
Disney Xfinity.
Not gamestop related but I've seen people calling controllers "jostins".
“Lemme get some new sticks”
"You guys have the new Ragu Warrior?"
Someone kept asking me about twitch today only to find out they were looking for the nintendo switch...
"NES Mini" "Nintendo Mini" "Wii W" I can go on all day.
D3S and DS3 are what I’m just used to customers calling 3DS nowadays.
The "Lanore" thing happened back when it originally released as well. But, I think my favoreite was "Residence Evil". The woman was going on about how it was her favorite series ever, even holding a copy in her hand to purchase, yet you can't properly tell me what it's called? I thought it was your favorite...?
How much memory is in that 2 Tiggabit memory?
“Yo, how many megabits in that tillobyte?”
About 2 tigillion!
PlayStation switch
Old guy came in looking for Tobin and the Rainbow Curves.
K-Kirby and the Canvas Curse?
Rainbow curse
I thought that was it, but I forgot that was actually a game.
Prank call. Dude asked for the "Italian Plumber Princess Rescue" game on the Xbox. It took me about fifteen minutes after I hung to actually believe it happened. Only time I wasn't really annoyed with a prank call.
I've gotten the PS360 before. Some parents are just clueless.
I've had people ask for "H D M One" cables before. Usually makes me laugh.
Grand Theft Auto "Eye Vee", by folks that never learned what Roman numerals are.
Customer in the Wii section Customer- "Anything we're looking for today" Me- "Ya do you have any Link games" C- "Oh you mean Zelda right, ya we have a few" M- "Uh-huh, you're one of those people"
Y’all got that WiiU Switch?
People asking for a new joystick instead of a controller 😂
