Moments That Made People Think “What’s Going On Here?”

Worked at GameStop for a couple years. One day I answer the phone and the guy on the other end goes “Hi, do y’all have video gaming?”

I pause for a moment, baffled, and reply “Y-yes…we’re GameStop. We sell video games.” The dude goes “No, I mean video gaming.” I pause again and hesitantly tell him yes again. I can then hear the excitement in his voice as he goes “Really?! Like slots?!”

I finally realize he’s talking about freaking gambling and say “Oh! Sorry, no…we’re a video game store. Like games you play on your TV” and he angrily goes “Oh. Well that’s misleading” and hangs up. Man actually thought GameStop was some sort of casino. Story credit: Reddit / makenziiko
