Why don't you work in a game store?

>>315247639

Because I like actually making money.

Because I work at a prison.

Because I work in a bar

I'd save more money on drinks than games

I buy all my games online. There is no reason to even leave the house anymore. I get neetbux.

Because I work in a bakery

Eating cakes all day > Videogames

It's barely above minimum wage. But all the free shit I can eat there / bring home makes me save so much on groceries I might as well be earning more.

I've applied to Gamestop but never got a call back.

My other local game store just has people playing smash all the time. They must make little money and not need any workers. I need a job.

They wouldn't hire me. They always decide to hire a girl (yes always a girl) each job fair that one of the current employees always knows. During the job fairs, I have to compete with around 400+ other people to try and get a job at one of the two Gamestops.

Why don't you work at a Video Game themed restaurant?

>>315248660

That's not what I'm working at. But I get free bread, lots of the stuff we can't sell we can take for free for our lunch and stuff (sandwiches, pâté, etc).

Can literally have a fresh baguette and foie gras for lunch and you don't even have to pay for it if you're lucky. (Bread is always free for lunch though, and you can bring some home after your shift)

>>315248660
Grocery store bakeries are pretty much the only bakeries here in the midwest. I don't know where you're from, but it would be hard for someone to make a living as a baker when cheap and plentiful sliced bread exists, and every house has an oven to make all the pies and cakes they want.

i know a lot of dumb friends who worked in an eb games. they had some funny stories

>some really fat xbox hueg autist strolls in the store
>it's a weekday and around noon
>doesn't really talk but just touches everything
>finally he strolls up to the counter and asks about amiibos or something (i can't remember, it was a long time ago.)
>my friend was working the cash and kinda made conversation to be nice.
>after that the autist would hang around the store til it closed, only leaving for short periods of time which we assume were to get food or pass a bowel movements.

there was some more to it that made me laugh really hard when i first heard it, but i can't ask to hear it from my friend again cause i keked the shit out of him.

Worked in GameStop for a while. Got offered an assistant manager position. I quit soon after.

The amount of autism I dealt with on a daily basis is something no human should ever have to experience. I am surprised I even still like vidya.

Don't ever work at a game store if you legitimately enjoy vidya as a hobby.

Also for Christ sake you fucking autismos, your local GameStop employee that you're "friends with" doesn't actually value the 30 minute dissertation you give him on whatever autism you indulge in every time you see him.

i dunno. i thought it was kinda funny how he even got such a shitty job in the first place and there was that autist running around. could you imagine the smell? it brings a smile to my face.

My local GameStop pays minimum wage, probably because so many kids apply there thinking it will be some really cool and fun job. Meanwhile, I make more money pushing carts, and my interaction with idiotic 'guests' is kept to a minimum.

I do, and its shit.

I'm hoping thats for a family. $50 is easily enough for one person each week and sometimes yes you have to spend $100 one week cause you need a whole lot of junk but you still should only be paying around $300 a month.

>>315249738
you can live on $900 a month easy.

$400 rent if you don't mind living in the ghetto with roommates.

You can get about $180 in food stamps a month, so you only have to spend $120 a month on food.

That leaves $380 for miscellaneous expenses, like phone, car, internet, electricity.

Quite doable. Of course, if anything ever goes wrong you will end up in debt.

I'm surprised more people working in retail don't just drive semi-trucks for a few years, save up 50k and then just buy a cheap house.

If you can't get a job that pays for basic living, then you have to resort to more than one job. That's life and plenty of people in the US unfortunately have to do so in order to live, granted many people in the US also live above their means. Min. wage is still piss low either way.

You'd be better off going to work at an assembly line factory and getting paid at least $10+ with $15+ for an over-production or overtime. And depending on the factory that could be doubled or tripled.

I used to work at Wal-Mart on IMS overnight, one of the worst jobs you can possibly imagine, especially with a pill popping boss who had been working there since he was 16 and was only just a manager in some run down hick town. You don't want to be that guy Anon, get out while you can.

Yeah it was bad. Some days one guy would come in. He was maybe 24-25 still living with his mom (she always drove him up) always wearing a Loki hoodie with obnoxiously large plush horns and he would just stare at the women trying to shop. Asked him to leave on several occasions.

Another guy once leaned against the counter and tried convincing me to play final fantasy because when he asked if I liked those games a I said "no they're not really my thing man, I am more of a sci-fi guy" (bad mistake). After about 30 minutes (not exaggerating) I had to ask him to let me finish putting stickers on the new shipments just to get him to fuck off.

Personal favorite was the family that looked like the people from point lookout (two 30 year old with their mom looked inbred as fuck) brought in a chewed up ps4 with controller that looked like it went through a fucking garbage disposal and wouldn't leave because we didn't cover that damage. The fucking thing was still wet ffs

being socially awkward is absolutely no obstacle in working sales, especially retail. you quickly learn to just treat it as a job and separate the two. unless you're actually paid by commission in which case you are fucked because you need to socialize with your clients to hook them. if you're just behind a counter on hourly wage you really don't give a fuck.

Certifications. Getting a CS degree is hilariously overrated, what you really need are industry certifications.

There's not much way around starting from the bottom, either.

Desktop support and call centre bitch are the two starter positions, from there gain certs and experience for applications, sysadmin, networking (hope you like cisco). web dev, whatever.

Start general, specialise as your career develops. Don't be afraid to ditch your company for another if you feel stuck or stalled; turnover in IT is usually pretty high anyway, and tech requires you to be constantly learning new skills.

Jobs differ, man. I tend to go for more challenging jobs, which means constant stress, overtime, learning, and no time for /v/. Not all IT jobs are cruises.

Because game stores in my area only hire attractive gaymur gurlz and casuals that don't actually play games but know how to sell you shit you don't want or need.

I do though.
I'm an assistant manager, manager in training for a locally owned used Vidya chain, with a couple locations in the city, and that's it.
We sell shit as far back as the Magnavox Odyssey, and recent stuff too.
We get all of our consoles, accessories, and games through trading or buying off shitheads who come to us. We're basically just a video-game pawn shop.

On slow days, I'm free to grab some shit off the walls and play it until a customer needs help.

It's a really chill job, and most of my employees know their shit. And they're not autistic hamplanets or anything.

My only real complaints are the fucking shitters coming in to sell me their loose copy of Monopoly on the genesis, and bitch me out when I effectively tell them it's not worth the plastic it's fucking made of.

Can't suck bad enough to at least not get a Smartphone with LTE 4g Internet.

I would have been a Dr, but my parents divorced while I was in college so I had to start working unexpectedly

>Retail

Shit even if you made bank there fuck having to be cheerful and enthusiastic all the time. That'd be so tiring to maintain.

Apparently Yahtzee's Mana Bars in Aussie are crazy popular. I'd love to run a voodoo gem/tabletop gaming cafe/bar

Dealers can take tips? That sounds like an integrity nightmare.

>>315252180
You could have stopped him you know, it's only a kid.

>>315250820
Do you hit soft 17 if a dealer is showing 7?

I gamble alot, I always bet for the dealer after I make a gusty double down or a huge bet after a loss.

I did and quit after 3 (4 days ago) months because it was absolute shit, I have MANY things to say about it

>>315260375
No he couldn't. In retail you're encouraged and meant to stand by and let the customer do whatever. Anything bad that happens is meant to be handled by the security systems in place and the police.

>>315247639
Because I'm a 34 year old man that makes at least five times what they would pay me.

>>315247639
Used to work at GameStop. Min wage. Got out because it's not a future. Pay too low.

Now I do IT.

They are if you're an absolute sperg. The photos they put up are beyond cringeworthy

>>315260804
If you're a sperg, hanging out with spergs and having a good time, what does it matter? Seems like the whole point.

It's 2010 tech compared to 1991 tech.
19 years to compress a 2MB gif into 156KB isn't that amazing.

This reminds me that i've seriously gotta try joining the Chairforce one day. I always hear they've got it good.

I mean, just look at that nickname.

Is security guard really that lax? Feels like it could get very stressful.

Back when Gamestop was called EB Games, I used to fuck the only female coworker in the back room from time to time. She was a pretty good fuck actually, and it was a nice job perk.

It's an alright job, much more hauling of boxed from A to B but unlike working in Videogames or consumer electronics retail you really do not have to lie to consumers.
Even when I sell something like Magic or Warhammer. You can really just be honest with the customer and say that you can go way overboard and spend boatloads of money if you want. Usually people are somewhat informed when they ask for Tradingcards or Tabletop and to normal parents you can just sell normal boardgames and they will be happy.

Meanwhile in my local Best Buy equivalent I would have to sell prebuilt PCs that I know have shit tier parts and are not suitable for videogames.

>>315247639
Literally the only reason is because of dealing with moms
Otherwise it looks like a comfy wageslave job

>>315247639
Because I earn twice as much by doing nothing
