GameStop

How is this place still open? They forgot to give me the game. The lines are awful. The selection is terrible. Just order online and save your time from a miserable experience.

The 1,5 star average rating for this place is not fair. It is just like any other GameStop I have ever been to.
Good selection and friendly staff. However, they can be a bit understaffed and very slow — standing in line can take 15 – 30 minutes.

My sister asked me to watch my nephew since she had to work. Although he is a teenage he hates staying home by himself. After being inside most of the morning I decided to walk to the ATM machine in Woodhull Hospital. Of course my nephew popped the big question «Can we go to Game Stop?». Reluctantly I said «yes», hoping that it would be a better experience today. He found the game he wanted easily. That is usually the case at that store and only 4 people in front of him on line with two already at the cashier being help. Oh the excitement I would be out of the store in about 15 minutes. But this store never seems to let me down when it comes to the waiting and waiting and waiting. An hour later I’m on my way home. RIDICULOUS!!!

Wow the line in this store was insane.
At first I thought it was because business was booming, but I was wrong. The sheer level of incompetence and stand offish nature of the staff makes for long lines.
For each customer serviced, a cashier would either talk them up or vanish to look for something for an exorbitant amount of time. When I wanted to know if they had a game in stock because I preferred not to wait on a the daunting line I was given a cold look and asked to get on line. After waiting on line and then it being my turn, the rep quickly answered no and non nonchalantly called next. Wow!
There was no, I can look in another store?
No, we’re getting a new shipment soon?
No I’m sorry sir we don’t have that game perhaps you’d like???
I know I don’t live in some posh location were good service is paramount to business but it’s sad to see a simple, crappy job made even crappier by the miserable people who work there and feel the need to share the wealth of their misfortune with their bad customer service and poor management.
Fail, fail all around, avoid like the plague or even better buy online.

Poor selection and an unfriendly staff. On top of that the store front is way too small, and if it’s busy you’ll be on line forever. You’re better off going to the GameStop in Ridgewood.

Enough!
I don’t know what bothers me more– my experience at this store or the fact that Unilocal has listed the neighborhood as «East Williamsburg», this is definitely Bushwick. People are taking it upon themselves to rename and redefine borders of entire neighborhoods to make these areas seem less offensive and more appealing to my newly migrated hipster neighbors. No worries, you don’t have to clutch your purse while walking down the street here. It’s also most certainly okay to make eye contact with passing strangers. Just don’t call Bushwick, East Williamsburg. I can no longer guarantee your safety if you do.

Anywho, Game Stop. Eh, this store smells like a dirty daycare center. It was filthy! I stood on line for 20 minutes just to speak to an employee because no one was on the sales floor. All of this only for them to tell me they didn’t have what I was looking for. Major FAIL!

Thats how I felt for weeks about this place till Black Friday when I got my very own Wii. Whoa. Gimme a sec shivers down the spine.
Ok. The selection is good, a lot of used games and all the heavy hitters.
But sometimes that line takes forever.
