Good Friday… who am I kidding?

Alternate title: I thought “Game Fuzz” would be a more appropriate name.

“IT’S FRIIIIDAAAY, FRIIIIDAAAY!!” shot

So me and my friends decided to go shopping today at the Montreal Eaton’s Center. We figured we’d look around, given the surplus of movie and video game stores in the vicinity. We stopped by Game Buzz first, which has a variety of games and game memorabilia, such as t-shirts and plush toys. It also has a few assholes in it’s staff, which we regrettably encountered during our excursion today. Mind that because there were hundreds of games on the shelves, it’s impossible to keep track of them all at the same time. One of my friends sees a binder sitting on the glass counter-top, which he assumes to be a catalog for the store’s games and promptly grabs and begins to read; big mistake.

One of the employees from behind the counter struts over, rips the book from my friend’s hands and yells, “What the hell is the matter with you? Do you always go into people’s stores and read their stuff?”

My friend, slightly shocked by the sudden outburst replied, “Yes.” It was at that point that my friend was kicked out of the store. I obviously followed him out, because I wasn’t going to let my friend sit outside the store alone, and quite frankly that guy’s actions put me off of shopping at that outlet for the day. Upon retrospect, I find it quite amusing how that asshat made such a big deal about my friend reading the book, given that it was set there in the corner on the edge closest to (and practically facing) the customers. Meanwhile, said employee was standing around and being useless, hardly even paying attention to his apparently coveted book. Of course, we went to another Game Buzz and couldn’t see that white binder anywhere!

That guy touched a nerve today, but what can I say? If it’s not important and not in your control, forget about it. Of course, I’m not sure I plan on shopping at that particular outlet from now on, at least not until they get their dicks out of their asses. And speaking of…

A typical work day of the lowbrow Game Buzz employee…

A typical evening of the lowbrow Game Buzz employee…

On another note: I was forced to listen to Rebecca Black – Friday today. Whatisthisidon’teven…

“FRIIIIDAAAY, FRIIIIDAAAY!!”

It sounds like Grunty from Banjo-Kazooie if she was 15 years old…

Well, that concludes my Friday of failure. How was yours? Hope it was better than mine.
