more wrong about more things. No Blockbusters anywhere in our area take in game trades. It&#039;s a limited market that does that. The &quot;culture&quot; of lining up isn&#039;t decided by Gamestop as much as by the consumer who always like a &quot;happening&quot;, so Gamestop obliges. THEN you follow up with the fact that more people lined up at WalMart (again, nowhere near me)while blaming GameStop for the &quot;culture. Fool. The store my two sons works at (one is a GA, one a Asst Mgr) has a huge ADULT customer base who appreciate talking with people who share their passion. Sure, there are plenty of kids (not necessarily ignorant) and parents going in as well. I used to be one of those parents with kids who were anything but ignorant. It&#039;s a fun place for young gamers to go, and we started when it was FUNCOLAND so I know how it works.  I&#039;d have to drag them out and the employees were mostly friendly and understanding. I&#039;m not suprised they ended up working there. The older one started at Starbucks becasue THAT was supposed to be the hot place to be, but he is much happier at GS. I don&#039;t expect this to be a career but I&#039;m telling you for a high school/college job it&#039;s not a bad gig. Beats cleaning out he mixers at Jamba Juice or cleaning the dining room at Fudruckers, both of which my other kids did when she was working her way through school. The only other part time job that even came close to being this good was when one of them worked at the theather, but even that had it&#039;s share of problems. No job is perfect and nobody makes you go there, work there, or even think about it...much less post crap on a forum.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anti-GameSpot you couldn&#8217;t be more wrong about more things.
