WTF? Why do people keep trying to compete with me?

[satyrnfive]

One of my employees just let me know about a new game store that is opening about a mile down the road from one of my stores.

Don't people get it? The gaming market is in a slump right now...why open a store. And why open one within 3 miles of 2 other stores. Don't people do any kind of research? And to add insult to injury they are almost completely copying us in game lines carried and incentive programs.

It seems you can't throw a stick anymore without somebody deciding to open a game store. I have a former customer that opened up in the same city who doesn't seem to understand why I won't help him. Now I've got this guy opening up a mile away. I have enough to worry about without the possibility of losing a customer or two. *sighs*

I shouldn't worry. I've been around for almost 12 years now. The Va Beach store has been open for almost 3 years and both are doing good. But I can't help worrying. This is my livelihood. The only skills I have are in retail...well that and stripping! (OK...I can't be that upset if I can make a stripping joke) Alright vent over. I feel better now. :)

Here's hoping the go out of business quick.

Did I read stripping? Do you have pictures of this activity that you claim to have skills in? Haha.

Stupid store. I'll burn it down if you'd like :)

Burning? Did I hear that there was going to be a bon fire? What day and time? I'll bring marshmallows if the pictures azraelz_angel asked about are present... *grin*

Maybe we can rig something up similar to the Sunnydale class of '99 celebration. (minus the big snake demon of course)

Stripping and bon fires? This could be the best journal post EVAH! In the history of all posts. *smiles* Of course it could be improved if we, as a group, nunchucked his butt and THEN did the whole bon fire. People under-estimate the value of a good nunchuck session.
