Today, a friend and I went to Gamestop to pick up a game he wanted. I ended up buying a 17+ game, and I was prepared to show my license, but he stopped me an said, "I know you're 18". He then said, "Man, I've pretty much watched you grow up in this store." A game salesman watched me grow up. FML

OP here. It's a FML to me because, I'm not ashamed of being a gamer, I feel that it's just a pretty dorky situation. I totally was caught off guard when the site gave this entry the green light. I just thought it would be funny to share. A bit of background though, #155 is completely right, it's only been like 4 years.

That's more of FHL. He's been working at a game store for all those years. Atleast you had an excuse, you liked playing video games. Not all kids are into going out and playing sports etc.

#13, exactly what I was gonna say. No problem buying games in your teens and twenties. He's the one working at the store for as long as you've been a customer.

Seriously, how is this an FML? Do you think he is stalking you or something? Grow up please:)

The FML is more appropriate for the guy who's worked in a game store long enough to see someone grow up.

I agree with #6... You have a hobby you enjoy, the game salesman knows one his customers... sounds more like good service than anything else. How is this bad?

This isn't an FML. A salesman cared about his job enough to know the faces of his customers. That's a good thing. If you want to fly below the radar, go to Target or Wal-Mart. They have enough employees at each store so there is a good chance it will be someone different helping you each day. If it is the same person, almost all of your interaction will be scripted ("Can I help you find something?" "Would you like to save 10% and sign up for a Target credit card?"). If that is still too much interaction, you can always buy off the internet. FYL because it seems like you think you're better than the guy behind the counter (or at least, he's not worth your time) who took the time to recognize you after you've ignored him for years.
