    This will explain a lot of things as to how Gamestop employee's are so helpful etc... :rolleyes::D
    GameStop's "How To Talk To Women And Shill Wii Non-Games" Training

    http://kotaku.com/5159031/gamestops-how-to-talk-to-women-and-shill-wii-non+games-training

    Talking to women may not be your typical Gamestop employee's strong point. GameStop corporate realizes this. That's why they've put together this helpful instructional video for their "Sharpen The Mind, Shape The Body" promotion. Poor GameStop staffers were subjected to "Understanding And Selling To Our Expanded Audience" in advance of the "Sharpen The Mind, Shape The Body" campaign—which has since expired—the sales effort that would give buyers of Wii Fit or My Fitness Coach a free subscription to Cosmo or Good Housekeeping.
    That way, they can unlock the secret of the male G spot in between bouts of getting fit with Jillian Michael's Fitness Ultimatum. The video helps Gamestop employees to understand the fairer sex in terms that anyone can understand: hunter, gatherer, and hopelessly confused mom.
    Pity the GameStop employees who had to suffer through nine minutes of mandatory corporate training with sloppy British accents. Actually, go beyond pitying them—give 'em a hearty, extended hug. It appears they've been through a lot.

    Can't believe this is real

    I used to work in GameStop when I was in college, and there were never any training videos or anything of that sort. Things may have changed, but I'd imagine that this is aimed at the American stores...

    If fairness, most of the Dublin Gamestop employees could do with some kind of training.

    That was great
    Im gonna go slit my wrists now

    Regardless of the competence of gamestop staff, I feel sorry for anyone who is forced to watch that. Kinda reminds me of the dunnes stores videos they show you on induction day, but I dont think they were as bad as that

    I had all this Dave Chapelle dialogue going on in my head when the African-American Customer Sales Asisstant was greeting the Wii-Loving Granny.

    I'd prefer to live in a world where this isn't real, so I'm going to assume it's a pisstake of some sort.
