Has anyone here worked at GameStop before? Any interesting stories?

I wouldn't even be mad if we just got spaghetti stories.

>>269889642
Just started for the holiday season, nothing interesting yet. It sure is nice to take home whatever game I want for free during the holiday rush.

Former Assistant Manager here.

We give all the hours to managers primarily, except during holidays. During holidays a regular employee will get around 20 hours a week max, minimum wage. When the holidays are over, you'll be lucky to get 7.

If you work at Gamestop you can rent any game for two days.

They make fun of literally fucking everybody.

They hate paid DLC and games that are repeated every year like CoD.

If you apply, and a hot girl applies, it doesn't how matter how much more of a competent worker you are than her. She's going to get the job. The majority of Gamestop employees are lonely perverts.

Our district manager kept talking about how awesome it would be to rape any milfs that came in.

Gamestop is basically a corporation run by /v/.

Got hired for the release of halo 2 and they fired all 7 employees and re after new years. I stole a box of gba games and that was that. It was fun while it lasted.

>>269890436
Along with the few of the things listed here, one reason I left is that the pay is fucking shit. As an Assistant Manager I made 8.50 an hour. Our district manager had to rent a house with five other people to be able to afford somewhere to live.

>>269890436
>They make fun of literally fucking everybody.
And at the end of the day they're the ones who have to deal with neckbeards and kids for minimum wage.

Is that Kayona "The Best Sonic Girl" Kim?

South Dakota
It's pretty shit

From what I understand he had child support and a bunch of other shit from past mistakes to pay off as well, but I never knew him that well. Only hear shit from other managers who worked there longer than I did.

>>269889642

I did for two years. Sometime after the Funcoland take over. Just around the time of Halo 2 release.

Lot of crazy stories.

> DM fucked a part timer. Had to fire her so they could marry. Ultimately he made it right.

> They take an Office Space approach to firing a meth head on the team. Just gradually start cutting his hours. Guy had a death stare and asked why the fuck a highschool kid (I was 15 at the time) was getting more hours. (I had high preorder/sub ratio).

> Saw mass house cleaning firing regularly. Basically kept an open door policy, because it was a low skill job with delusional people lining up to have a cool game job.

> One of the people fired was a 33 year old guy (maybe 300lbs) diabetic guy. Sweet as could be. He had worked for Funcoland previously for over 6 years. Basically, the only job he could enjoy. He was fired and cried out loud in the corner of the store for a half hour until his mom picked him up. He gave me his Bawls energy drink before leaving. Makes me sad even thinking about it.

> There was a pizza buffet in the same strip mall. We cut deals with the managers. They give us dessert pizza, we hook them up with discounts. Some nights they would let us in after hours to free play DDR. Shit was cash.

> Near the end, the PS2 HD Loader came out. I was sick of making 5.50 an hour, for 10 hours a week, whilst a portion came out of comcheck (an atm deposit cash card that they paid us with) so I ripped good games for the ps2 library to my HDD for fun. Party ended when the 3rd key who hooked me up with the HD loader was caught charging customers to mod their PS2.

> Worked at another GS in a nearby strip mall. One of the managers knew kung fu and struck his GF (also a part timer). Nobody did shit because he was a sociopath. I was built like a twig. Still regret this.

More stories in a bit if someone wants to hear them.

>>269891665
please continue.

>>269891331
Damn. I'm in Texas and our DM made bank. I think she's been with the company for a long ass time though. She's turned down promotions because she likes what she does.

>>269891665
Mass cleanings are always regular. I was there 2 months and people were let go across our region in droves. A store was taking stolen Netflix games and ended up taking 100+ AAA new games. Entire store and all of its managers were fired. Everyone was moved around and everyone from my store ended up quitting because they went from driving 5 minutes down the road to 45.

>>269891274
I think people found out who she was

I'm moving to the US from the UK shortly, and there's a GameStop just down the road. I was thinking it'd be an okay place to look for work initially.

I work in retail right now as a supervisor of about 15 or so people in a large store in the UK.

These aren't even counting the GameStop I normally go to that has Your Friendly Neighborhood Neckbeard, a pale, skinny qt with black hair, and a girl that somehow manages to make a fake hair color (really deep purple) look good. Since when does Equal Opportunity Employer mean "we only take girls too hot to be here"

> My first (out of three) managers in the two years I was there would get hammered often. He was on the verge of a divorce, so I felt for the guy. One day he was almost an hour late, so no one could get in. It was just me and him on the shift. I was 15 and fairly new. He sat down behind the register, handed me crumpled up money, the store keys, and told me when there's an opening to grab him a dew. Basically, he napped and nursed mt.dew all day and I ran the place. Felt bretty good.

> Had this autistic kid (not an over-generalization) who would walk from the nearby apartments burst into the store to do a spaz dance. Sometimes he would ask about games or our personal lives, but mostly he was into LOTR. He would walk by, open the entrance door, shout a Lord of the Rings quote and dash away. Highlight of my day.

> Mexican children are controller humpers. Back when we had demo units, the mexikids would come in, hold the controller to their dicks, and let it vibe. Ironically, they were playing Jet Li's Rise to Honor one day and I definitely made the connection.

> After the clearance of Dreamcast and NES, my manager and I found a hidden cache of sealed DC games that some former employee was probably using to steal games. Since they were no longer in the SKU, I got to take them home. Still have a sealed Slave Zero. Opened MvC2.

Should I keep going?

>They make fun of literally fucking everybody.
That's the best part. I make four to five times what they do and don't have to deal with the faggots that come into Gamestop. They can snicker behind my back for buying Anime Loli Pantsu Quest VIII all they want.

When I worked there as a trap, a customer thought I was a girl so I gave him a blow job.

>>269893035

> There was a sandwich shop nearby. There was a QT girl that would come in from time to time. I laid on my usual demeanor with customers to help my way into a preorder. She took my pitch as flirting, which was fine by me. She was gorgeous, but extremely fit. Ended up training to go into the military. Anyway, she would say some odd shit from time to time. Shit you not "Have you ever seen Aqua teen hunger force?" "Yeah. Love it" "You know how Master Shake tried to hang himself?" "Yeah.." "I tried it the other day. Didn't work." Anyway, I did get the digits. I was a liberal puss back in the day and her dirty south racism came to surface on a phone call. Ended up telling me her and her friends were riding around yelling "nigger" at the blacks. I kinda cold shouldered her after that...but I did thinkem boutdem tittays HOLY SHIT.

> Had a manager with extreme psoriasis. He would crust all over the place. People would complain about skin flakes in the cases. Worst case was when someone (not a redlettermedia reference) went "Hey man, what's up with your face!"

> Crusty ended up meeting his wife through FFXI on the PS2. How the fuck does that happen?

I have more stories, but I'm piecing them out so I can keep the thread going.

>>269890436
I worked for them for a couple months and you're pretty much spot on. I got hired during the non-holidays, and fuck there were weeks where I didn't get a single day there. Everyone was incredibly snarky but I noticed everyone in management were divorcees and most of them had children. The hot girl thing is partly true, but they don't hire just because they're pervs. In little time, I learned the truth about GameStop, one of them being that God fuck the used DS game case. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK THAT SHIT.

>2nd Manager was really big into Avenged Sevenfold. Seemed like a pathological liar (which is perfect in sales), but claimed to previously drum with the mighty mighty bosstones. Dude was nice, but ultimately, had a hidden temper. Some guy got mad because the manager wouldn't take back his game without a receipt, so he kicked over one of those in store displays. My manager jumps the counter, grabs him by the neck and beats the guy until the guy picks up his mess. Mad respect (before we had cameras)

>Some asian guy flipped shit when he wouldn't take his PS2 in for trade, because it was missing the warranty sticker. He lobs the PS2 into the middle of the store and takes off. Nobody wanted to clean it up, so we just left it there. Hour goes by and we see a yellow blur dart in, scoop up the PS2 into a grocery bag and dart out.

Retard day.

> Basically, twice a month a group of three mentally retarded guys would come in with their case worker and pick out a game to play. To me, this in itself was pretty cool. Gave me some perspective about the love of games being that extensive. However. On these days, each of the retarded gentlemen would pick a random game off of the shelf, slouch over to the counter, put the game in your face and ask "ITH THIS A GUUD GAAAYME!?" This went on until the social worker rushed them to pay for whatever was in their hands. Basically, I was 15 and would regularly impersonate that to other co-workers. Not to make fun of them...but because it had a "RICK JAMES BITCH" level of addictiveness to it.

> One retard day, the tall black retard of the bunch was wearing shorts. Mid ITAGG, he stops talking. He then starts shouting to the social worker "I GOTTA GO NOW." Dude had shit through his shorts. Social worker came back in to purchase Worlds Scariest Police Chases, but didn't acknowledge the turd in the room. "How you goin to ignore that doo doo?" came from a black patron who noticed the poop.

> Had a kid come into the store who was a regular customer. Manager let him on as seasonal. Day two or three of working, one of the employees noticed a weird jaunt to his walk. He would constantly scratch his ankles with one of his boots. Same night, we do a pocket check. Manager notices his socks are bulging. Asks him to peel them down and GBA games are falling all around the floor. Had at least 5 copies of Emerald in them each. If he had played it cool, he could have had 3 years of a part timer's salary in one night. Guy's mom came back in the next day and begged for his job back, or to at least let him in the store. Denied.

> Met a dude who was really into tribes on the PS2. Was one of the only games that used the ilink port on the ps2. Wanted to LAN it up and was trying to get serious about getting a group together. Was planning on going to his event, but didn't. He fucking dies somehow and his girlfriend comes in to clean out his preorders. Still won't touch tribes after that.

> End up in a competition for preorders. 3rd Key gets the bright idea to spread out 100 into 50 preorders across a months time using different family and friends. Ends up highest in the region.

>One of the perks of being a manager at GS is that sometimes you get promo copies of games. Manager gets Minish Cap.

> Week later, a guy I know comes in with a stack of games and birthday money. He was going to get shit for credit. I told him "Keep the games, I'll give you Minish Cap." He insists on buying it. He ends up coming back in and buying a DS.

Not a bad job overall though, the benefits were pretty sweet. Got to borrow any game I wanted for up to ~5 days, 15% discount at GameStop, and 30% discount at Barnes & Noble.

Nigga that ain't shit

>>269889642
Worked there in around 2008 - 2009

1. worked with a guy who walked around the floor on the phone talking about speeding down the highway and doing coke or some shit (lasted 2 weeks)

2. management hired incompetent friends all the time

3. regional manager was known for creeping on all the women at the Las Vegas annual whatever the fuck gamestop does there, rumor was if you put out you got promoted, turn him down on advance and you will never move up in the region

4. alcoholics smelling of wine coming in mid-day weekdays to fill out applications in order to keep getting their governmental welfare while taking advantage of our no questions asked used game policy (seriously bought .... came back day 6 or 7 and exchanged for different games = we never got any of there money)

>>269897901
To me it's not so much that I'm excited to play the next instalment that I need to trade in my old games just to get less than 20% off my purchase of next instalment. If I trade a game in, it's because I didn't enjoy it enough to have it waste space on my shelf and would rather cut my losses and get a small percentage of what I paid for it back rather than look at it on my shelf while it collects dust.

>>269897202
Nah, the youngsters might find me cute but that's it. I've got lots of experience working though, but my manager straight up told me he wanted to hire a girl to make the store less of a sausage fest.

We had a dude come in once, asking our manager "why can't I level up in cawadaoody it keeps bugging out" and he responded with "ask customer support if it's a bug", dude got pretty salty and told us that he was going to go to the OTHER gaming store to talk to people who knew what they were doing.

Worked there years ago.

District Manager attempted to implicate me in the "Black Wii scandal" by reporting me to the head of Loss Prevention because he is a ladder climbing bitch. I had already left the company and I guess they thought they could tie it up in a neat little bow, meanwhile I get harassed by the douchiest fuck in the galaxy with bullshit threats of multi-million dollar lawsuits.

Good luck collecting on that shit

Man, I miss working at GameStop. I snuck games home all the time. I worked there for three years and never once had to pay to play a game. I got to play a lot of games before the street date hit too.

>>269898780
Fucking China man. Everything there is so faulty, it kills everyone.

>>269899194
Black Wii Scandal?

>>269899006
wait what

>>269899282

I was serving a customer and this rabid kid just demolished the demo unit. I was fired because the mother complained to HO due to not watching her kids.

Lots of people leave their kids at Gamestop while they do their mall shopping. Sometimes I truly wondered if I was a babysitter or CSR.

Store Manager.
Recently quit.
Ask whatever you want.

>>269899282
Not that anon, but I suspect that Anon somehow caused the kid to get pissed and management was looking for something to catch him on just to let him go.

Also at-will employment is a hell of a thing.

Is working at Gamestop difficult? I was thinking about applying. I've worked at a movie theatre so I'm somewhat accustomed to clientele shitstorms.

>>269899487
How are you enjoying your freedom?

>>269899487
Did you fuck any of your GAs?

>>269899034
We were LITERALLY told not to hire the most qualified people for the holidays, but to hire a doverse and colorful staff. Women get hired and promoted almost instantly, as it increases a diversity quota.

>>269899436

Also, since I worked at a mall location, the store was very small. We kept 360s and other consoles in the washroom, not even 3 feet from the toilet. We didn't have a storage room.

>>269899321

Yes he died.

That is not something you generally survive.

>>269899582
If you aren't a girl don't apply

>>269896740

> Nintendo reps were the nicest. Always gave away free shit to the employees. Activision reps criticized the layout of the store and the placement of standees. A microcosm of both businesses IMO.

> Went to a lot of Gamestop employee LANs. Don't mean to generalize, but most GS employees are depressed pot heads who just wanted to balance their passion and careers - I can't blame them. Think about that when they sling a pitch at you, they just want to live the dream.

> GS employees would get first dibs of preorder swag. Mostly sold it online to suppliment the shitty hours/income. Still kept some cool shit.

> The level of game knowledge does not matter to hiring (from my experience). Friends > Hotness > Management/Sales Experience > then game knowledge is a minor plus at best.

> I still regret not seeing dem racist tittays to this day.

>>269899672
While we didn't have that quota shit going our manager just wanted less dudes.

>>269898780

The full video states that his spine was severed and his lungs stopped working. He suffocated to death. I don't know how much elevator counterweights weigh, but I imagine he had something like 1,000lb of force on his back. He died.

>>269899194

Expect any mid-level managers in a shitty retail chain to be a toxic person to your success, especially if your just some young expendable part time nigga

They're losers that'll backstab an 18 year old to get a fat 20/hour salary

>>269899582
I was a GA for two months last summer. Be prepared to experince what Bill,Murray experienced in Groundhog's Day when you work. Also good luck getting hours during the non-holidays.

my gf and best bro work at different ones, not even fucking kidding.

She rarely complains about creepy guys though, which is weird.

She did meet a wild fedora once, the kid was a bit awkward but not terrible from what I rememeber hearing. He did have a long coat and fedora.

>>269899843
I'm surprised it didn't full on decapitate him.

I just got a job at game stop, seems kinda piss easy, but i have a 4-8 shift that's kinda dead in our store. But it's also great for me because i have been going to that store, and know like all the people that work there. Only worked there one day so far, only did about an hour of work, and then we just shat the shit for the rest of the time, and get payed.

>>269900183
Sounds just like working at the theatre, anon.

Yeah that explains a lot cause last time I went to gamestop it was some gay dothead Indian twink with rainbow highlights at the counter

>>269900012
You can do whatever you want as a customer. If you want to return something a few MONTHS late, a PS4 that you bought two months ago, go for it.

If the manager tells you no, ask for his managers number. They will say yes to anything as long as you don't keep calling people.

Every single customer is made fun of the second they leave the store-- UNLESS youre genuinely a chill person or have good taste in games.

The job is fun for a little while, then it turns to shit. You get paid nothing for all the stuff you do.

So at this point the black Wii was not released or even announced for the US. About 3-4 months ahead of time they sent us some signage for it and told us to start taking pre-orders. That same day, a story about it was run on Kotaku. The next day, we were told to never mention the black Wii to anyone and never mention pre-orders again, allegedly because NOA communicated their "disappointment" with Gamestop about the "leak". There was an email from a VP basically chastising everyone at the store level, for something that we were told to do from corporate.

>Every single customer is made fun of the second they leave the store

I went to GameStop today and was waiting on one of the registers with the girl calling a different store for me, and the guy next to her, presumably the manager, was also on the phone with a customer. Some old lady came in with a couple bags with I don't fucking know in them, and waited in front of the other registers without putting down her bags. The guy had to tell her she could put her bags down on the counter, and while she was looking down at the bags, both him and the GameStop qt looked at each other and he gave her that "can you believe this shit" look. Customers get made fun of while they're still there.

At least the girl was hot, otherwise I would have thought it rude of both of them. But hot girls get a pass

Thanks man. Guess I had them on my mind for a while. Do have some nifty pics of the store from back in the day. Don't want to release them, because I'm afraid of digging up the past for others.

I still consider that little job to be fun while it lasted, despite the low as shit pay and uncaring management.

Wouldn't recommend that job to someone who loves games, but maybe a passing interest at best. Still, if there's any lesson to be learned, you should always overlook racism when it comes to matters of the breast.

I've never worked at GameStop, but I've met a few cool people there.

>Get written up

sounds awful, was it as bad as getting written up in high school?

I'm currently working as a hire for the holiday season. So far I only get about one day a week with a three hour shift.

No interesting stories thus far, but manager is a pretty decent blackaboo with a team of men who knows their video games.

Usual customers at night are dude bros.

>>269903035

I was fat as fuck in middle school.
Spend the years after HS getting gains and the chicks that dropped me for Chad Thundercock all want me now because Chad is a fat alcoholic.

And if it happens, well thankfully I'll be dead so I won't care

somebody tried to return roof tiles in an Xbox One box.

I worked with ProtonJohn (just was on TB's Co-optional podcast) and he fired me because I accidentally had weed in my bag. He saw it during a bag check, and upon seeing it asked "Anon... is that HEMP!?" in disbelief. Next shift I was fired. Also he's really fat now.

I just applied to one. What are the odds I get hired?

Once, someone tried to steal one of the demo Wii U pads.

We laughed.

How the fuck does that take balls

who the fuck would be sitting at home with a new Xboner, look at the box, and think "I bet a store that specializes in pre-owned stuff would totally never open the box and just give me the money, let's shove some roof tiles in it"

>>269904507
sadly I know, it happened more than once. Perhaps she was trying to break the Ice I don't know. I know that when I'll be back to take BB she won't be there.

I snort coke when no one's in the store, "steal games" (put store credit into the system when someone trades in a game, I keep the game), also redeem every Club Nintendo code I can.

Well /v/, it's official. I am addicted to leaving garbage and shit in gamestop.

It started out innocently enough. Accidentally. My dog took a shit in a gamestop. I spaghettied out and ran away but somehow I was drawn to the experience.

My dog always pees when he sees my gf for the first time so I started getting her to meet me in gamestops, so that my dog would piss in gamestop over and over.

Eventually I decided to cut out the middle man and just throw my trash in the place.

Here is an itemized list of garbage i have left in a gamestop:
>a gamecube game box full of nail clippings
>a gamecube that i had jacked off in 6 or 7 times in the disc tray
>box for shadow of the colossus with my dog's turd in it
>gum wrappers, chip bags, coffee cups way too many to count. I just empty my pockets of all trash as soon as i enter
>20+ large boogers wiped on the used games
>Spit on the floor openly 5 or 6 times
>a sealed copy of diablo 3 in mint condition, unused serial
>upended a bag of pretzels on the floor
>Ripped open 2 packets of ketchup and squirted them onto the peripherals
>old laptop (2004) with nick cage set as the background, left open and playing annoying muzak
>full bag of my kid's diapers. about 40 diapers total. didn't have the guts to pour this one out, just hid it behind a tower of pc games
>shaved my face with a razor onto the 3ds section
>found some rancid cream cheese and spread it with a knife on some used games like toast

>go to Gamestop
>3 employees out front
>one employee says "Hello, my name is Marc. Can I help you?"
>say "No thank you."
>try the 3DS demo of Smash Bros
>go to counter
>ask to preorder Amiibo
>cashier gives me a list of choices
>choose Pit
>about to leave
>Marc talks about football to other customer

Worked for FUCKING GAMESTOP for a very brief window. Most of my stories are variants on "dumb hick comes into store, doesn't understand technology", but I do have the story of the time my co-worker finally snapped.
>Nomal Thursday afternoon
>co-worker is there and looking pissed as hell
>ask him what's up
>He informs me that it's his birthday, that he had asked for this day off nearly a month in advance, and they still put him on
>Apologize, hope that he doesn't get touchy with customers
>The TV has now been running the exact same adset for almost a month
>Everytime it cycles he mutters something about it
>Customers come in, couple young urban gentlemen and a neckbeard sugared up to the eyeballs
>Neckbeard won't stop bugging us for recommendations, despite us giving him a laundry list of games both new and used, cheap and expensive
>Gentlemen are fucking around with the 360 kiosk
>Adset loops again
>Can hear the pressure boiling under co-worker's collar
>Hear a slight snapping sound, and see that the gentlemen have detached one of the controllers from the kiosk with a knife
>IT'S OGRE
>Jumps the counter
>Grabs the top of the gift card display
>Heaves it at the gentlemen, knocking one of them into the stand and knocking the other one clean the fuck out
>Neckbeard is crying and freaking out
>Co-worker turns to him and starts screaming the adsets in sync with the TV
>Jumps up and grabs the TV
>Rips it loose, throws it into the Bargain display
>Storms out, leaving one piss-soaked pair of pants, one unconscious thief, and one guy with minor facial lacerations from getting caber tossed

walking is more dangerous, pedestrians are killed all the time, walking in streets, or just being in the way in some form.

Hell, taking the stairs is more dangerous than elevators, since people can trip and tumble to their death more likely than an elevator failure.
