I had purchased an item from this Gamestop for my son and for irrelevant reasons, decided to return it a couple days later. I didn't have my receipt on hand but I did have my awards card and I figured the manager would remember me from just a couple days before, saving me time from going home and getting the receipt. No big deal, as I was prepared to accept store credit.
The cashier scanned the item and look perplexed. He called back to the manager who came out of the back room and didn't even look at me. He look at the computer and told the cashier something and just walked away. The cashier said he could not accept the return because the item was not bought at that store. I asked to talk to the manger and he went to get him. The manager was in no mood to discuss this. He was in an angry place already and after looking at the computer again, he repeated to me that the item was not purchased from his store. I reminded him that it was he who checked me out two days ago, but he wasn't having it. He got really pissy with me and I got a little pissy back. I ended up telling them I would return with the receipt later.
The next day, I returned with the receipt and decided I was not going to play the "see" game or anything. Just get in and out and let it go. The same manager was there and so he took my receipt and looked it over. He had an "aha" moment when he realized what he did wrong the day before. He asked me to come around the counter to see why it looked like I didn't purchase from his store. I politely said "no thank you, I'm good". He again asked that I come around and take a look. Again I said, "thanks, but I'm OK". This pissed him off and he flipped out. He backed off towards the back office and turned around and yelled at me in front of the entire store, telling me to "Get out". He said because I would not give him the opportunity to show me the computer, he was not returning my item. I asked him if he was really kicking me out because I would not go behind the counter and look at his screen?, and he again yelled at me to "leave or I'll call the cops".
I did email the company about this and was told to just go return it at another game stop. But never an apology and anything about looking into the matter. Have not gone back in a year and am only posting this because I read the other guys post about a bar-code issue as well.
Obviously, I don't go into a place like Game Stop and expect royal service, but in my 42 years, I've never been treated like this, by anyone... read more
