I went into my local Gamestop on 7/15/2015 intending to take advantage of the deal where you bring in your old 3DS, and you get $100 toward a New one. When I went in, there was one group of people in front of me. They were quickly done with their purchase, and I was promptly greeted. No one else was in the store. I told Jeremy, associate number 352606, that I would like a New 3DS, and I was trading the old one in. Fine and dandy. He took my old console, remarked I must have downloaded most of my games digitally, and then did some mysterious things that required my PIN to unlock. He went to go get the new console and rang it up, then proceeded to overcharge me by more than $30. I told him it should cost less because of the deal, and he said "I didn't know there was a deal." Or something near enough as makes no difference. Finally, we got the right price down, he picked up the old console, and did more things with it while I was signing the debit card pad. After I had finished, I asked if it would be alright if I performed a system transfer there in the store. He told me he had just formatted the SD card, and that was no longer possible. He did this without my knowledge. I had no indication that he was at that step. I asked him very calmly why he did that. He told me that he didn't realize I wanted my data. So after acknowledging that I had many downloaded games, upward of twenty at my best guess, he did something that irrevocably erased everything on my SD card. Now, for the sake of perfect clarity I need to explain that Nintendo does not have an account system. The way they handle digital purchases is you are not a person, you are a console. And when you change consoles, you do this system transfer that gives that new console the right to play those games and use those saves. At no time did I receive an apology. At no time did he even act the least bit contrite. At no time was I offered a solution to my predicament that I did not have to fight for. So in addition to not knowing about the offer, in addition to erasing hundreds of hours of saves and all my licenses to those games and dozens of event Pokemon that I'd need a time machine to replace, Jeremy gave the worst showing of customer service I have ever seen in my life by not even attempting to apologize. I spoke with his manager about the issue, and was told that since there was a non-zero chance I'd have lost my data in the transfer to begin with, GameStop would do nothing about the employee that actually caused the situation. I have told this story a dozen times to dozens of people, and have warned friends and family about the dangers of doing business with GameStop. I intend to tell my story on Yelp, and wherever else GameStop has a social media presence. I believe people have a right to know the customer is always right...except at GameStop. And as an added bonus, this was supposed to go on the customer satisfaction survey, but I received an error stating I'd already filled one out, which I didn't... read more
