not easily offended.

oh, young male gamers.

so i work at gamestop. i know a lot about video games. i’ve played almost everything. i’m educated, intelligent, and good at my job.

young high school boy who got hired same time as me, however, not so much. he can’t alphabetize, which is an important skill to have when his job consists solely of…alphabetizing the racks. although he does have to greet and find things for people on the floor.

today, i watched him interact with a couple who were trying to find games for their daughter. she couldn’t remember the title, but knew that it was part of a series. he suggested skyrim, to which i jumped in. we’d had this conversation already today, where he misinformed a woman, telling her you needed to play the previous elder scrolls game in order to understand the newest. i began to tell the couple that there were many series games that recently came out, such as the latest assassin’s creed, mw2, arkham city, etc.

young homefry here stared bkankly back at me, only to say, “no, they’re looking for games for a GIRL.”

“uh. i play all of those games…and I’M a girl,” i quickly replied. the couple and i burst into laughter. holiday boy stared, embarrassed, before tottering off to sort more games.

homeboy please, don’t think you’re even close to my level.
