GameStop sales push!!

I meant to post this a few weeks ago when I picked up a copy of Dead Island. Here's an account of my most recent experience at GameStop:

"Is there anything I can help you with today? Is there anything you're looking for?"

No, thank you

"Are you here to preorder The Last of Us for PS3 if you have a PS3?"

No, thank you

"Would you like to preorder anything today?"

No, thank you

"Do you have our rewards card?"

No.

"Let me tell you about our rewards card- you get points..."

No, thank you.

"Well, it is free and has all these various perks..."

No, thank you.

"Can I see your ID?"

Sure (This isn't something to bash GameStop, but I was surprised that the young woman working there carded me for a game that I have to be 17 to play. I'm not elderly, but I'm nowhere near that young. I wonder if they have secret shoppers or something.)

"Would you like a $2 warranty for this game?"

No, thank you.  (Who buys the warranty from GameStop? Why would I want a warranty for a $20 game? I also find it hilarious that this is coming from the same company that sells games that aren't sealed as new. I can understand buying a warranty for a system because in the past I purchased consoles from GameStop and also purchased their warranty. I wonder how much money GameStop makes on a disc warranty...)
