GamersCircle . . . “COMICS“
I suppose it goes with the times, I actually catch myself doing it to. When I read something, I usually only read that I want to see. This is a example of a phone call which took place today.
[insert your favorite ring tone here]
Me: GamersCircle Comics
Phone Call: Hi – can you tell me if you have Way of the Ninja 3 in stock?
Me: I am not familiar with that title. Do you know who the publisher is?
Phone Call: I dunno, but I need it for my Playstation 3.
Me: That would explain why I don’t know that title. We are a comic book store and we don’t sell video games, sorry.
Phone Call: Wha? What is a comic book store?
Me: We sell comic books like Spider-Man, Batman, Superman and other titles like that.
Phone Call: Do you have any video games with Spider-Man, Batman or Superman?
Me: Sorry, but we don’t sell any video games, we mainly sell comic books, board games, card games and action figures.
Phone Call: Huh? What are board games?
Me: Board games are like Monopoly, Risk, Chutes and Ladders…
Phone Call: Do you know when you expect Way of the Ninja 3 in as a board game?
Me: I can’t speak to the fact whether there are plans to take that video game and turn it into a board game.
Phone Call: I don’t understand, all I am trying to do is find out if you sell Way of the Ninja for the PS3!!! Why do you even call your self a Video Game Store if you don’t stock popular games?!?!
Me: Like I stated earlier, we are do not sell Video Games, we are a comic book store. I am sure if you contact Dimple Records or Gamestop, they might be able to help you.
Phone Call: Are you serious?
Me: Sure – they sell video games and they most likely will have better information on what you are asking for.
Phone Call: Give me a straight Yes or no. Do you have Way of the Ninja 3 in your store?
Me: No
Phone Call: <Click>
I understand that some people live in their own little world; that there are things/subject matters that some people are not familiar with at all, but there are those that are as sharp as a cue ball too.
