Literally the most uninteresting green text.

itt: someone kept a job

good job op not a fag or anything

And... the guy knows how to keep a Job and is probably a manager there.... why does this thread exist? Why are you angry op? Is it because you're a faggot?

since we're sharing shitty gamestop stories i'll share my boring one

It wasn't really rage-inducing or anything but the way he said it was so self-important

So someone kept his job for 10 years? Good for him.

The only remotely interesting thing about that is the possibility of a guy wasting 10 years of his life at gamestop

>>315297607
My mall actually had two gamestops for the longest time

What happened was one used to be an EBgames, but it got bought out by Gamestop. So all EBGames became Gamestops, including the one in the mall. I'd imagine it could happen with any of the companies Gamestop buys.

>shit just happened to me
>16 year old me takes opportunity to

Usually I hate gamestop but lately I've had to go there for certain games I wasn't able to find anywhere else (without shopping online) and they've been alright to me.
In fact I actually am starting to feel bad for them since the last two times I have gone into them there are always a few kids or spergs that are constantly bothering the workers about pop culture or something and you can tell that they hear it a million times. And then there's the actual legit neckbeards Didn't think they still existed in real life, thought they transformed into those shitty comb-over/manbun hipsters that constantly are hitting on the token female employee.

Your manager did the right thing. Halo 5 sucks and you should get the fuck out of /v/.

>>315297607
A mall near where I live had 2 Gamestops for many years. This year one of them became a gamer clothing GameStop shop. Only shitty t-shirts and hoodies. No games

>>315297607
Happened all over the US and Canada bro. It's any case where a mall had both a Gamestop and an EB Games. The two merged together years ago, and for some reason all stores in the US became Gamestops, while all stores in Canada became EB Games. My mall had two Gamestops too up until last year or so when one of the two closed, so now we only have one. But eh, all malls that aren't superhuge are dying these days anyway.

Right there is when I would have gone "You know what never mind, I don't want to buy anything from evil scum like you who try to silence opinions" and walked away and out the door, never to return, so that the manager knows his evil behavior permanently lost a customer. Unless you had already paid by that time, in which case you're fucked

In hindsight I dodged a bullet. A friend rented a copy and it's way worse than MK9. Saved myself some money on that one

>>315299894
They probably had an overabundance of them so the guy that sold you the game probably didnt want them to get destroyed just because not enough people preordered.

What's wrong with shopping online? It's not even the future at this point. It's the present which makes game stores like Gamestop almost irrelevant to someone who's heard of AMAZON (eg anyone).

The only time I usually go into a game store is if I'm at a place for an unrelated reason, in which case if I pass by one I may take a look inside.

If you like 3D fightan, check out Soul Calibur V while you're at it. It has a bit of a different flow than TTT2, but it's still really fun.

FUCKING GAMESTOP

I've never really had any problems with Gamestop. Only twice have I ever even been asked about pre-orders and even then, they didn't really hassle me about it.

The first time, the guy just casually asked if there was anything I wanted to pre-order and didn't push the issue when I told him no. The second time was with a female employee. She snuck a look over her shoulder at another employee who I presume to be her boss, let out a sigh, and then proceeded to ask in a robotic tone like she had a gun to her head if I'd like to pre-order x and then y. After refusing both, she gave me my total and rung me up without further issue.

I work retail part time. Part of our job is to open credit cards. 99% of people (aka the non autists) just say no or no thanks.

>>315301979
Usually after 10 years the expectation is that you would have evolved from retail, unless you're a manager or something. If after 10+ years you're still a cashier or stockboy or something that means you've hit a dead end. Still better than being flat out unemployed though.

The system at gamestop is, from what I can tell, quite similar to Best Buy (which I actually worked for) and even worse. There are zero incentives for the employees to make sales or sell pre-orders, but if they don't, then they are considered to not be doing their job. Even returning something to them can hurt them in the long run.

I had another Gamestop experience the other day. My Xbone took a shit on me and I traded it in to buy a new one. I ended up grabbing the Halo 5 edition since it was the only good one out, but the holiday bundle came out two days later. I didn't open it and returned it to a different gamestop to get the $100 cheaper version with 32 games. The guy was all flustered and kept telling me how cool he thought the Halo Xbone was. I explained to him that I'd rather have games, save money and could give a fuck less how the aesthetics are. He felt the need to tell me how big of a Halo fan he is and how cool the Xbox really was.

Gamestop used to be neckbearded, elite faggots who think they know everything about video games and felt the need to give you their opinion on everything. Now their employees are all 6/10 chicks and hipster faggot skinny emo boys with Assassin's Creed and Zelda tattoos who feel the need to meme you and tell you about how great every AAA platform is.

>>315309460
This. $100 really isn't worth them losing their job when they get caught.

FUCKING GAMESTOP

>>315297607
My area actually had 2 Gamestop's in the mall until 2 years ago, and there's still what was the third one not even a quarter mile away.
I lived across my state for a while 5 years back and the situation was the same, 3 fucking Gamestops. When they're that close, they usually all treat the other two as backup warehouses. They'll never have what you want, but the other two stores will each have 5+ copies, it's bullshit.

>>315308184
You should've just taken the game and walked out. He didn't give you money.

GS employee here. Basically, we have percentages for how we do on everything, both daily and weekly. These percentages can go into the negatives. If we haven't gotten any pre-orders in a day, and someone comes in and cancels one, we now have a negative pre-order percent for the day. Same goes for sales. Returns can put us in the negative. Trade is different. Most of the time, if you cancel/return shit at the end of the day, nobody will care because they already hit their goals. But if you do that in the morning, it can potentially fuck us up for the rest of the day. Some employees, like myself, really don't give a shit. Hell, i don't even ask that shit, I just ring people out and give them my opinion if they ask. But some people are super try-hard about it and want to kiss managerial ass. It also depends on how much the manager cares. Mine doesn't. As long as the story itself isn't in the red for the day, he doesn't care how we do individually, or how I deal with customers.

Not him, but I'm an employee, and people who do this shit are fucking obnoxious. It's not a fuckin' library. Half the time, they don't even acknowledge that someone is behind the counter.

Employees exist for a reason. If you want something and don't see it, you can ask them. If you're going to be anti-social, you should just buy shit online.

>>315312306
That's not the point of browsing you retard. They aren't looking for a specific thing, they're looking at what's there to see if there's anything they like. As long as they say "Just browsing, thanks" when an employee asks if they can help you, then that should be it. Let people take the fucking time to decide on whether they want to make a purchase.

Yes, but the original statement was just about people who take time to look at the racks at all. The people who don't acknowledge you, yes, they should be executed. But if you're going to be an ass to someone who's just browsing and try to force them to make a decision early , you should be executed as well.

Worst part is that they just outright destroy old stock for tax breaks, which drives up used prices for rare games as there are now even less in circulation.

>>315313317
My mistake, I meant cartridge. Sorry about that.

>>315313521
That's not true. They sell old games over the register and they get shipped to your house. Source; I work at GS. We only destroy games with cracks in the disc or games that are scratched beyond repair.

Actually he wanted me to keep the other copy so I could play it, rather than borrow from him or buy my own copy later. So it was a "Why would you say no to something free" moment for him, because he couldn't comprehend that I can't stand filthy thieves.

Some gamestop or similar stores have used sections where you can strike gold. Still cheaper to buy online but in a physical store you can browse, pick up a game you hadnt even thought of getting and play it the same evening. Then again I'm a sucker for browsing second hand books and movies as well.

I fucking hate GameStop with my heart everyone always acts like a fucking dick, it's so hard to find one nice cashier m

>>315314360
We have this thing called Web-In-Store. It's basically ordering from the warehouse. You have to come in to a store do it, but you can have stuff shipped straight to your house or to a store for pick-up if that's easier. We added retro games a few months ago. There's also merchandise like statues and shit, too. It's worth looking into if you ever find yourself in a GS and nobody else is there. Provided the employees are willing to let you ask a thousand questions.

>>315314387

So instead of making it a self-service interface for online use, they make customers walk into a GameStop location and have an employee stop literally everything to see if their warehouses have any copies of BattleToads?

Classic GameStop.

>>315303858
>>315314817
There's only tax on online services in states that have a physical storefront as well.

Skip to like 7 minutes. The first few minutes is me talking about the work environment and my personal policies in general.

Part 2 cuts away all the fat and I even answer questions from people.

>>315314973
Wait I've just found the point of this service.

this thread is baka desu, senpai

But cheaper prices, yes.

>>315314973
I think you might be able to do it from GS.com, too. Eventually, anyway.

The only thing I hate is how they persist so hard for the stupid "points card" or a "membership card" or some other fucking dumb shit I don't want

>>315315153
Depending on the managers, we get fired if we don't get high enough percentages. We don't like it any more than you do.

>>315315153
There's no reason not to have it, it's just a rewards card for buying shit if you don't get the paid version.

Free coupons when you cash in points and shit.

You can actually use the points to get the paid one for free now. It's pretty much the only time I tell people to get the PRO card, because it literally costs them nothing. My numbers are shit.

>>315310835
Can confirm, worked for GS back in 2007 to 2009ish. If you don't personally sell enough pre-orders or GameInformer subscriptions, your hours will begin to be cut back until you're only coming in one or two days a week.

Data tracking for better advertisement as well. If someone wanted to, they could fuck with GameStop's servers to get some pretty serious info on you.

But that's the same for literally everything so meh

>>315315567
Yes, we control damaged stock. That's what I said.

I do it too. Niggers almost only come in for that game. Same with huehues and Fifa. The only issue is now that WWE 2k16 came out. They say "2k16," I'll start reaching for NBA, and they'll say they mean WWE, and then give me a look like I just told them to pick cotton. Sorry, maybe you should fucking specify.

Why the fuck do people feel the need to take all of their fucking kids to the stores. Just ask them what they want and leave them at home. .

>>315311430
Haha fuck off. You're being paid to sit behind the counter and help the customer if needed. If the customer wants to look around on their own that's their choice. You work to make our shopping experience better, not the other way around.

>>315315947
to be fair you were in the wrong for assuming that. there's MLB, NHL, NFL etc. 2k16

>>315317501
MLB The Show 15, NHL 16, Madden 16. NBA and WWE are legitimately the only things that use 2k.

I love to work at my store. Yes we are supposed to sell sell sell but i'm not going to bullshitcustomers into buying something even if it's more money for us.

Would hate to work in americas gamestop :^)

Sometimes I think feminism has a reason for existing today. You people make me believe that. Do you all have mommy issues or what? Why do you hate women so much?

>Ask why doesn't he just give me one of the sealed ones and use this one as a display
On that note, why do they gut almost every fucking copy of games they have? Why not gut one and then leave all the others sealed? And what's the point of putting a fucking sticker over the opening point of the case to "seal" it when it's already been gutted?
