Mad props for that response. "Low key disgust but I accept you for who you are" vibe

that perfectly describes the situation- thank you for putting it into words

What are the genders / sexes / xexers involved here?
adrnp
it makes it tolerable if you read it in Morty's voice
54r4h
You don't fucking stutter in texts
TheFamousNecromancerMrBones
They seem funny, and you play a good straight man. You'de make a good comedy duo.
FullMetalBitch
Manzai!
Lamplord
I think a lot of people aren't seeing this as a joke from their boss...
SwarthyBastard
What;s b-baka?
iKnow
I had to google it: /bäkê/ a member of a nomadic Pygmy people inhabiting the rainforests of southeastern Cameroon and northern Gabon.
spits1fire20
...well, it all makes sense now...
Stupid/idiot
erllerserndrer
M-m-morty
BabyStoneFace
She needs to work on that stutter
vDorothyv
Who the hell takes the time to text stutter
theLadyFate
I, uhm... I do?
captainikag
When the cliche they're parodying, entirely as a joke, has stuttering.
wtf "b-baka" and W-we're"
Vlitzen
Can you not clearly tell he's joking? Do you not have friends that say weird shit to you?
LucifersNewGroove
Yeah, I don't get how everyone commenting thinks the boss is being serious.
SilverSwearsalot
I thought the exact same thing
MightySunfish
I cringed so hard my balls retracted.
I might be cringing because you can't take someone fucking around
thefrayedendsofsanity
Howdy, ma'am.
PewPewBulletBulletGun
LOL!!!
greenbottle22
Egg sandwiches?
Sandwiches but with eggs inside. Usually with the shell removed and the egg inside cooked.
So just hard boiled egg between bread slices?
DrFartstheTRex
Generally fried or poached. Have you really never had egg sandwiches?
Really, never.
Scrambled, fried, it's egg between bread my friend
Thanks, friend :)
Also, Can I know the age or the age range of your boss? This helps me adjust the level of how cringey it is
DeadeicPrints
It's not cringey at all if you take it for the joke it's supposed to be. Or if you cringe at jokes, well, you do you I guess.
Flemnig7
Fuck you're dumb
callmekhel
haha im 12 and i cringe at everything
K
Damn take a chill pill, ArtOfSwords is right the boss is joking around.
Uhh go eat gas station nachos and die.
DoesItDo
Don't bother with him. From his comment history, I'd say he's about 10 or 13 years old. Something like that.
NotTodayNotYesterday
Can't you see? His age is right there, in his username.
25? Idk to be 100% honest
it kinda sounds like shes into you because she's copying the "tsundere" anime thing
and I've been to gamestop for limited editions before and the female employees there are generally really hot, at least in mine so good job!
*he
SilentInSUB
Are you also a guy?
Still applies tho. I'd let him down gently. You don't want that kind of crazy going after u.
Someone who uses 'weeb' has a general concept of anime, so I'd say it's just a running joke boss is too into anime. Hense the text.
BrosefStalinforThymeIII
Fucking hate it when people type similar to this.
NoMoreShinesBilly76
Is your boss 15?
GenevaCat
Every otaku in the comments be like
PoppinLochNessHopster
all these comments.. The guy is clearly joking
VEpsilon
No, the internet has deemed its intent as serious
ImRockHard
tsundere boss confirmed
do people really talk like this? do they really use baka ????
StrawberryPrincess92
yes...yes they do.
TheWeebleWobler
Yes, yes I do.

Baka?
Yes, but then again I'm married to a Japanese man, so I mean, We are probably not the best example.
Jocke
You dont really have good friends to act weird with, do you?
Do ppl make jokes with friends and coworkers sometimes pertaining to their hobbies and interest? Oh gee I wonder.
I don't like you.
Good for you i guess
poetiicpunk
I don't doubt it. I know a forever 21 manager who talks in that 2007 emo l33t sp34k bullcrap
GetSchwifty
1337 speak isnt emo lmao. its for gamers.
He uses it on occasion. Also lots of XD, dragging on letters, etc
MyPatronusIsVernonDursley
Wtf does that even mean
mariapia0815
In Japanese it means fool
Who fucking talks like this
Weeks.
RichardValentine
The Japanese
PSWIIsixty
I had a friend in college that would say baka. more in the tone of someone calling you a dumbass and less in this nervous style.
SaltIsInYourEyesNow
Well it does mean idiot
hartmonica
It's a joke referencing anime, dummy get with the times
Do you not have friends that say weird shit to you? This is that.
BubbaRunski
Not normal people...
ackbob
Only ironically or for fun is what I've see
Keeperofthe7keys
People use it ironically, I wouldn't be surprised if being a well known meme it gets used unironically on the rare occasion.
CaptainRaymondHolt
My wife's Japanese and our daughter calls my mum Baka. Baka means grandmother in Croatian though.
Lol
icanhearjimi
baka?
Stupid, fool, idiot
/bäkê/ a member of a nomadic Pygmy people inhabiting the rainforests of southeastern Cameroon and northern Gabon.
stupid in Japanese, used mostly in Anime
Aha, and he typed out a stutter? Am I getting all this?
Nize426
Its kind of a meme now so between friends it can be funny. Problem here is that he's an employee.
yep he/she was trying to be anime playful....we are a doomed race!
theres a frequently used anime trope where female characters talk like this and are categorized as tsundere which is cold on outside nice
halborski
boobs, though. So the boys still like her despite her frigid exterior.
on the inside. Cold but caring if you will\
Enohpoxas
He is attempting to act nervous by stuttering, hinting that whatever character he imagines he is, us attracted to OP.
StankyPankySammich
Good God.
MrWolfwood
doesn't baka mean stupid? I could google this but im not going to. I call people stupid all the time.
jjm152
Kinda. Can mean "foolish", "silly", "dopey" - depending on context and location. In Osaka it's very offensive, but the synonym "aho" isn't.
And that rule is the opposite in Tokyo, where "baka" mostly means jokingly, but "aho" is legit calling someone a moron.
I did not know that.
idunnogoddamwaterbottles
My ex girlfriend would call me Baka but she was studying Japanese in college at the time so I dunno if that's why. I never watched Anna May
Hooksan
Sometimes these sorts of nicknames just happen organically. Ever since a long trip to Italy a pet name for my wife has been 'pazza moglie'
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
my ex calls me oni chan during sex...
Im not a weeb but I think casually watching anime has made me interested in what you just wrote.
jaehoony
You still got her number?
Sure, she's like my lil sister
ferflashes
Read all answers. Not disapointed
leviunable
Yeah in Japan
You'd be surprised. If it makes it more believable, I work at GameStop
I'm sorry for you, I got annoyed just by reading this
PresidentBolbi
All I gotta say is F U C K I N G. R I P.
Otrill
Oh rip you. I had to quit after 2 months bc of shitty managers
crayon98
I actually didn't believe the post until I read this, now it makes perfect sense
GeraltofNivea
It makes it infinitely more believable
blaiddlover69
I think people said it as a meme at first then got used to saying it unironically (Like my friends referring to each other as "Comrade")
K0A1A
Makes sense
EvilandImaginary
This explains everything.
Boxesofwhat
Was a manager for 6 years, run.. run out of there as fast as you can.
ModsSometimesHeedMyScamWarnings
I sometimes wonder if foreign gameshops are more competent than ours... Then I just order online like everyone else I assume.
dp487
Oh that makes sense then.
A1ekazam
Does that mean it was a joke? We used to do that when I worked there.
CoBr2
Yeah, as an inside joke this could be hilarious
TraceofSpades
I'm curious about the genders going on here.
Both dudes
Wooorse
Galeanthropist
Personally I think that makes it more hilarious.
NPCommentator
When does the new battle toads come out?
berryballs
Boy have i got news for you!
You know, that joke doesn't work anymore. We have battletoads. Rare Replay on XB1.
Ihavewaytoomanyfavoritestosort
Battletoads Arcade is the shit.
I worked at Gamestop for three years. I heard that line on the phone at least twice a month.
peterpandapants

Working at a gamestop, now that sounds like a fun job

Worked for a month with a group of the most intolerable stereotypical gamers I've ever met. Couldn't even play games when store was dead.
Google "Gamestop Circle of Life."
srsfaceI8C
I enjoyed aspects of it but I'm that weirdo that doesn't mind working retail. Don't mind the customers; corporate's bullshit tho? :(
justagamerhere
As a Walmart worker same here.Customers arnt the problem it's the managers that make me move 800 packs of hot dogs because it doesn't "flow"
liesuponlies
It was the best job I ever had! I got discounts at the book store for working there!

Was it at a mall and you got mall-wide discounts or something?
