A GAMESTOP employee has revealed frustrating conversations he has run into while working at the store for more than a decade.
Customers at GameStop would be oblivious to their repetitive phrases and openly not trust the advice he has in response.

The questions vary from age restrictions to product availability, and more.
They came to light from GameStop employee Nik (@sidewayplays) on TikTok who has over 49.3k followers on the platform.
“POV you worked in a video game shop for 11 years,” Nik said in the video.
Nik suggested that the rudeness of some customers declines the level of service he is willing to give them.

The first was a customer who wanted to buy an X-rated game for their seven-year-old.
The customer said: “Hello, I’d like to buy this game for my seven-year-old please.”
Nick responded: “Oh, that’s GTA 5 that’s not actually suitable for anyone under the age of 18.”
The customer replied back: “That’s OK I make him play it with the sound off.”

Nik pointed out that the game has nudity and said: “I don’t think the sounds going to be the problem when he’s ogling nude ladies in the adult entertainment club.”
The next conversation Nik shared was about the newest Xbox at the time.
The customer: “When is the new Xbox coming out?”
Nick responded: “Oh, Xbox hasn’t actually announced the new console yet but I’m sure we’ll advertise it pretty heavily when they do.”
The customer insisted: “No, my uncle works for Microsoft and he said there’s an Xbox 720 coming out next year.”
Nick frustratingly replied: “Well what are you asking me for?
The third conversation involved the Nintendo Wii availability at the time and how “it ruined Christmas.”
The customer said: “I’ll take one Nintendo Wii please.”
Nik responded: “I’m really sorry but we're all sold out.”
The customer said: “What do you mean you’re sold out?
Nik replied: “Well it launched a month ago, it’s the top-selling console of all time, and it's 3pm on Christmas Eve.”
The customer said: “You’ve ruined Christmas, ruined!”
Lastly, a customer wanted a collector edition game, but Nik warned it would only be available for pre-order.
The customer said: “Hi, will you be selling the collector’s edition of the next new game?
Nik responded: “Yes, we will but it is likely we’ll only receive enough copies for people who pre-order. Would you like to place a deposit today?”
The customer said: “No, it’s OK ill just pick one up on release day.”

Two weeks later the customer showed up and said: “One collector’s edition game please.”
Of course, Nik had to tell the customer the bad news that they were sold out as he originally warned them.
