They have one of everything, literally. The owner makes it a point to keep one copy of every title that is available in the supply chain. And of course he has some titles that are no longer available that he hasn’t sold yet.
The result is that you have a zero curated collection, sorted in alphabetical order that results in no footing for any single title, for every single title. Want to play a battler game? They’re there . . . somewhere. As is every other kind of game.
Just turns into an empty experience as each box is covered in color and art designed to grab your attention, all competing for your eyeballs simultaneously. It’s so much information that you can’t parse it.
How do you curate 1000 products that all do the same thing?
I may be too old for this hobby. I may be forced to play golf soon.

I think people come in already knowing what they want. I saw one guy strike out with his request. The store only had the expansions for what he was looking for.

Obviously, they are doing good business, but it makes me appreciate Games and Stuffs layout that much more.
And their alphabetical sorting goes all the way down the row of shelves. Makes it hard to browse.

The industry is so awash in product that nothing can stand out. My local is a metaphor for the state of the hobby.

Their large selection of comics is much easier to navigate, with three sections: new issues, back issues, and collected volumes. Each of those sections is alphabetical by title.

Third Eye Games, which I guess a third eye would be necessary to successfully browse.
