Default Stupid shop staff

On the lookout for a good deal on a Wii plus Wii-Fit, so I stroll into Game and check out what they have.

Looking at the notice boards etc, it said if you can't find a package that suits you, please ask one of the members of staff. What a ****ing waste of time, I didn't need someone to read the price tags back to me but the biggest mistake I made was asking the shop staffs opinion on whether I should spend £200 on package X or £115 on package Y.

Now I am a Stupid Shop Staff person and sometimes I can't be bothered and I'm sure customers can feel that vibe, especially when it comes to Smart-TV's as I am just not that interested but this staff member was utterly enthusiastic, just completely thick.

I left with nothing by the way.

Think I would prefer someone who at least tried to do the job even if they were not good at it to someone who just could not be bothered.

So would I Les, I was just pointing out that I understand staff members are "only human" and some can have off days just like myself but this wasn't someone on an off day, this was just a poorly trained member of staff.

lads, lads, lads.....do you really think that your or my opinion matters?

I Wii is what she wants and I Wii is what she'll get.

PS. The PS3 was the worst console I have ever bought.

Look - sex is the answer

Put her up top - and every single night she has to ride the life out of you.
When or if she slows the pace, then hit her a big scalp on the **** so she speeds up again

She'll be 'fit' in no time

I don't have the console at all anymore as I just didn't get on with it. Crap online, controller is uncomfortable, blu-ray playback was poor and (at the time) the games were pretty dire. It did everything but didn't excel at anything.

The Xbox360 does gaming well, can't ever see me moving back to a Sony console, the original Playstation was the only one that was actually good in my opinion.

Again, it all comes back to opinions and wants which neither of mine are ever taken into consideration.

When did you get rid of the PS3? I had mine for years just collecting dust before MW2 came out. That was the first game I got into on it. There are plenty of good ones now... I think it's actually more popular than the Xbox these days, which is saying something.

But yeah, I don't get on with the Xbox. The controller just isn't comfortable. The online experience is just dire. Everyone that plays is so immature and useless (This is in comparison to PS3 and PC). I've never done so well at a game until I played on the Xbox because it's full of little kids with big mouths and no skill.
