[QUOTE="hectorse, post: 4285881, member: 54665"] The point that the job is dull, then they play WoW is so bad... Why play WoW IN A HOBBY STORE? doesn't that tell you something? What hope does the store have of promoting their product if they themselves don't use it to amuse themselves. Point is, if they would have been playing a game that the store actually specializes in, like, you know, D&D minis or MtG or Yugi-oH, or plain old D&D 4th edition, or the guy making some NPC's in his computer, or playing RISK, or playing RISK the GODS, or monopoly or freaking chess or POKER... There are sooo many ways to amuse yourself IN A HOBBY STORE that don't require the clerks to be committed to a computer. Even if the guy was just playing OBLIVION or something like that... But playing WoW isn't bad just for being WoW, it's bad because it denotes a lack of customer attention. You don't need to be IN THE NECK OF THE CUSTOMER but you at least should be aware of what they want what they look for and be available. Have you ever tried to talk to someone who is playing in a computer? It's awkward communications because they are not facing you, not at your same level (they are usually sitting and you standing up) and they are giving you their backs... I feel weird trying to catch the attn of my roommate when he was playing WoW, imagine a complete stranger. This is not even a strike against WoW, but most online games. I would feel the same game if the clerk was playing say, Dawn of War multiplayer online or w/e [/QUOTE]
