oh, i got another one!
if you have good looking female workers at the store, make sure they're not just there for show
or if they are there just for show, make sure they don't try to talk to customers about games they don't know about

lol! I've never seen GOOD LOOKING females working at game places around here, I've seen AVERAGE looking females that male gamers CALL good looking because they think "OMG A GIRL WHO GAMEZZZZZ!"
:getting a weird sense of deja vous:
But I've had more guy than girl employees talking about games they don't know about. A lot of guys assume because I'm a female that I don't know anything about games, so they try to bullshit like they know something. When I go game shopping with my son, they assume I'm shopping for him. My favorite is when I bought some game and Alex was with me and the guy was like "Umm, that game's rated M. It's pretty gory." And I said "Well I'm pretty sure I can handle it." Seriously, I've been gaming since some of these kids were in diapers.

You're looking hard enough, our website just sucks. The owners don't want to shell out the money to hire someone that knows what they're doing. Of everything our company has, our website is the worst of it.

lol sad thing is that i took at web designing class my Sophomore year and my final was to create a site with at least 10 different pages, different styled tabs to each page each page had to be unique so on and so forth lol. and you have only one page...your owners are retarded. how do they expect to run a business if the biggest media outlet they can use to show off their store is so limited.

Well I don't think that has anything to do with you being a female. Anytime a parent is buying an M rated game (and they have a child with them) we have to assume the parent doesn't realize that. I've had plenty of parents give me the same answer you did, but you'd be surprised how many parents don't even check or don't know about the ratings. May just be me, but that's something all retailers need to do.
