I worked at an electronics department in Walmart. People are very stupid and have awful taste, I barely had any work to do so I would have lengthy discussions about games when someone asked for anything or was checking out. I also had to explain to everyone that the ps4 pro doesn't run games at native 4k, their marketing tactic clearly works.

Lets say your a fan of video games. You really like certain franchises and you think they should be popular with people who go the store. You then learn how much people really don't care for those franchises and how the store caters to people who really don't like video games. You deal with Soccer Moms, Kids who try to buy M-Rated games, and mexicans searching for the next fifa game.

It's literally working in a real life version of a shit post.

Idiots will bitch, cry, and complain about having to stock shelves, unpack boxes, clean the store, etc......(you know, actually fucking work). I am assuming that 90% of the people that whine about EBgames or Gamestop being horrible to work for were simply expecting to get paid to play and talk about video games all day.

There's differences between different areas, and even stores within those areas. I think his point was most people going in to video game retail expect to not work and are surprised when it's like most other jobs and have to do things.

You simply don't get paid enough for the amount of work that's expected of you. It has it's ups, but the downs are way more common

>understaffed
>performance benchmarks
>getting guilt tripped when performance is down
>expected to be a master salesman, persuading children and adults into getting reserves, subscriptions, and warranties

It's also many people's first job, so you'll get literal manchildren who go on power trips the moment they get promoted. You get all types of liars and schemers who try to "beat the system" but then get fired for being retarded. And you can smell the laziness and bullshit from a mile away, and while you identify these patterns, you learn which employees from other stores are shit.

It's hard to say it's worth it. The environment can be dope, especially if you're cool and have an opinion on games while being fair and open minded. It led me to my current career thanks to the auto networking provided by being a face at a register.

There are jobs that ask for half as much that pay twice as well.

Niggers are completely incapable of ordering food when given full decision. I had so many issues with them as as server. Eventually I learned that instead of asking them what sides they want, I gave them two options that niggers most ordered. Obviously you can't do that in a drive thru, but it's a universal problem with them.

Worked at a Funcoland right the time that Gamestop bought them, Electronic Boutique and others. Looking back on it, I now realize that was my first crash course in autism and man children.

It was especially shitty dealing with children nonstop and pieces of shit who would try and steal shit.

Try working at a deli sometime. Every nigger customer wants a free sample. When you have a line of 6 or more people waiting during a busy lunch hour, you don't need 11 different free samples. You should know what head cheese tastes like from the last 17 times you asked for a free sample. Nigger.

I worked at Gamestop twice. Pic is related, it's what I wanted for my second store. We'll get to that in a moment.

First go around was fine, for an underpaying, twice a week job I took during college. My manager was strict but awesome, and referred to me as part of his A team as far as getting the store repaired.

Second time around, my first manager was great too. My second, not so much. By the fourth, my hours had been cut to 3 every 4 weeks, no joke, and that was so I could clean the fucking bathroom and get written up again for not getting enough gamestop card subscriptions.

The second store shut down after I left prematurely to avoid being fired. I've never felt the desire to try again at Gamestop.

Aside from the infinitesimal hours given to me near the end, and the ridiculous demands for subscriptions, there are a number of other reasons I will not return for any amount of money.

1. The Bathroom. If you ever buy a console from Gamestop (Why? Why, in the name of God, man, would you?), wipe the box down with antibacterial wipes.

Because they're stored in the bathroom. Used to prop the sink up so it doesn't fall out of the wall. Stashed under the toilet.

Also, in many cases, TP is a luxury item.

2. No one stays.

When a new manager signs on, they don't trust anyone the old one left behind. Oh, they won't say it out loud or outright fire you (usually), they'll just make working there so miserable and non-profitable that you leave, or they can fire you for not getting enough subscriptions.

They're big on subscriptions, btw. You could call customers niggers, chinks, spics, dykes, fags, you could rape little girls over the counter, and as long as you could get 4 card subscriptions a week you were their favored son/daughter.

3. The shovelware and trade-ins.

Oh God, the shovelware. The games that should have never seen the light of day. The madden games by the literally box-load being traded in.

I'm with Gamestop right now. It's honestly not that bad. Everybody knows that shit is bullshit and the only people who really believe in it are the ones who aren't actually in the stores. All you have to do is fake in when they're around and pick your battles the rest of the time. I don't ask every single motherfucker who walks in if they want a warranty, I find the one mom who's buying 7 cheap-as-fuck 360 games for her children who are currently destroying the store and ask her if she wants to protect them from her kids for $7. Bam. Don't have to worry about warranties for the week. There are tricks to it.

cont.

It wouldn't be so bad if we were pushed to sell these games. Barbie Horse Adventures? Push it to teenage boys. KND games? Push to grown men.

One guy looked ready to deck me when I was forced to suggest one of these games. When I told him I was forced to and that I was AWARE of what the game was, he left, came back, and dropped off a small bottle of jack daniels. "You need this, brah."

I never drank before in my life. That changed.


If offered a job there, don't take it. It's like trying to make a living off scratch-off tickets.

Retail is crap no matter where you go. Vidya retail is no different.

Exactly that, thank you.

At my current job I have a co-worker who I don't like because he is a lazy piece of shit (also he might have high functioning autism similar to Chris Chan). He asked me one day why I am not nice to him, I dead stared him and said:

"Anyone who makes my life more difficult, is not my friend"

He was taken aback and avoided me for a week, even know he barely comes near me. I love it.

From my experience from shopping at Gamestop, not once have I had the clerk NOT ask me if I wanted warranty. I've also had a lot of them try to sell me products.

Worked at eb games in 2003. It was alright but I always felt bad giving someone 2.00 for a trade in then slapping a 19.99 price tag on it and throwing it in the preowned bin.

This guy is right for the most part, I've never worked at Gamestop but I have a good friend that works there now and is about to leave to work at a comic shop.

I can't even walk into Gamestop anymore, they just have nothing to offer me anymore. Especially since they're transforming into some half-assed hot topic bullshit selling t-shirts and pop figures and it's just sad.

We fucked about 3 times after that, then I moved halfway across the US, and returned a year later without her knowing. Not sure if she ever got word but it should be interesting.

Reason I say don't fuck a Futaba is because she tried to make it incredibly public that we were fucking. There was like a 5 year gap in age, and she would show up at my job way more often, Dudes would do dude things and point at her while she looked away as ask if I'm "smashing that." I say no because fuck off.

The girls that I worked with were fairly easy, at least toward me. I never had sex with any, but it was made obvious that I could at any time.

Customers were hit or miss. The females were usually accompanied by a male, and most would get insecure the moment they hear their woman laugh at one of my jokes. Used to love doing that shit. The other women were moms and the like. And the last percent were just the ugly super weebs. So unless you get lucky like in here >>377482419 99% of the females were taken or unwanted.

I made a few videos on my time working at gamestop called zero originality. They made their rounds back when I released them.

but in short, gamestop is shit. They've gotten better in recent years because of numerous complaints and small lawsuits against them holding their workers' paychecks hostage, and unpaid overtime being not an exception, but the rule. Being held accountable for things totally out of your control, like people preordering, and people buying new copies instead of used copies, is still ridiculous though. It's just shit, and that you can be FIRED for shit totally out of your control unless you sell ultra-hard, it's just ludicrous, but that's the retail market in general. There's a very good reason gamestop is closing more and more stores every year.

This isn't necessarily normie but general advice for carrying yourself in public. Like would you play Nier if 2B looked hideous? You don't want ugly shit in games, just like people don't want ugly dudes in real life. But ugly dudes who can dress up fine and are charismatic? Big contrast to the basement weeb, especialy if you walk around with those types. Gotta look good. It's like a $50 investment

Who the ever loving fuck would want to work at a comic shop? Having your life revolve around comics is the most miserable shit. A gamestop employee can be a casual gamer, a comicshopfag has to be a helpless nerd already

To be fair I'm an oldfag and have been here for about a decade. When you get to your late twenties you learn to adapt. You'll be a legitimate nerd, an Autist, and a normie, and a professional, and an all around swell dude.

the whole collection right there thanks to some archivist. Gamestop threatened to sue unless I took them down, so I just gave out the raw video file and people put it up for me.

regardless you put effort into it

It's pretty interesting to hear it from an employee's perspective in the heat of the moment

>>377485762
Then follow my advice. If you're one of those dudes that "wants a woman who likes me for me" but then the you is just gross, compromise on that. You can get away with that as a female but you have to be the guy a woman would want. It doesn't compromise your identity, it puts you on their radar. Nice and NEET is a legitimate meme.

I don't want a woman "who likes me for me". What I used to want is to like myself for me. But I gave up on that a long time ago already so I just embraced my endless bitterness and spite for life.

Because im into comics, and I know several insufferable losers, so I know what the life of a comic shop employee is like. I just dont get it, imagine being forced to watch a shitty soap opera for an entire day, then you have to sell it to other people. Then you have to keep up with 15 other soap operas, each of them equally shit, and after being exhausted by all the corporate driven, repetitive bullshit with no stakes, you STILL have to talk about it as if you give a shit because this is the life you chose. Comics are cancer, its not worth it to get into them even as a casual viewer. At least at a retail job everday is different because it varies on customer experiences. At a comic shop your day to day life is measuring how autistic a customer is, and whether or not he wants to discuss the same shitty normie driven bullshit youve talked about 50 times already in that day.
>>
>>377485440
Most comic shops don't just sell comics anymore anon.

You gotta be well versed in pop figures too.

So that's like half the Gamestop experience anyway. Seriously, every time I hit an EB the merch shit is encroaching on actual games. Soon there'll just be a binder with steam keys and walls full of belt buckles, bottle openers , socks/stockings and shit.

Like I can give a tentative pass to all the zelda wallets and shit, but why the fuck is my local EB selling gremlins merchandise? Yes I know gremlins is awesome, but when was the last game? the NES?

I'm into them them too anon but christ I've never dealt with that. I come in grab my pull list of like 6-10 titles and shoot the shit for a while. They only sell me shit if it it's similar to what I'm pulling. And they never hassle me if I pass on it.

No, I totally that and acknowledge its only that overcomplicated if you're as autistic as I am. But.... I feel that way and there's no way of covering it up. Like, if someone comes in asking for a recommendation? I dont want to say some obscure weird shit but at the same time there's some really defining standalone stories, right? So my appreciation is only based on that understanding, is it only good because of that or is it actually good? I get stressed as fuck, I feel neurotic typing this.

blue collar work is good honest money and you can legitimately form some pretty strong bonds with unexpected people
>>
>>377488154
Don't be. You're just a discerning reader able to identify what's good and what's mediocre or shlock. As long as you're giving your honest recommendation it's fine. What exactly is it that you're afraid of recommending that'll come off as obscure/autistic or whatever?
>>
>>377488259
There's a reason all the ultra depressed faggots work cubicle jobs, and you never see construction/warehouse workers whining about the same shit.
Even the most repetitive REAL labor is still actual labor. Your average cubicle job in any field is literally 45 minutes of work and then a desperate dash to look busy for your master/manager.

>. Your average cubicle job in any field is literally 45 minutes of work and then a desperate dash to look busy for your master/manager.
That would be awesome. I actually work all 9 hours of my day. But I see other people that dont really work, even at an office job, and STILL complain. I really wish I was strong and big sometimes so I could just do manual labor instead.

pretty good job desu
>>
>>377488581
>I actually work all 9 hours of my day
What kind of work?
I used to work 12 hour call center shifts for literal peanuts, and I feel like such an idiot for staying at the job since every other comparable paygrade job has nothing but downtime.

if you actually have to work your whole shift every shift in an office, chances are your company is deliberately understaffing and setting itself up for failure

Just off the top of my head, if someone comes in wanting to read some Civil War because of the movie (which was better than the comic imo), am I then supposed to recommend my opinion on whats the best reading order, which might be alienating, or the actual Marvel published order, that would be more casual friednly? I Dont fucking know!
>>
>>377488979
You should usually defer to publication but if you have a strong opinon on it or believe that it'll result in a better experience then trust your judgement. But if you believe it to be a bad comic (in this case you're fucking right) try and steer them to something similar but not garbage. Like gauge who they're favorite character is and suggest titles based on that. In this case suggest Brubaker's Run on Cap and O'neils Iron Man run.

Don't forget:

>Niggers never tip
>Niggers always complain about atleast one thing
>Niggers typically show up with 5 kids screaming and yelling
>Niggers are always ready to ask for a manager for the pettiest bullshit.

In the past 9 years of workiing various customer service jobs, I've yet to have a positive experience serving a nigger. Which like someone said, is an entirely different concept from a black person.

I'm black and I can verify this. Niggers are the worst.

I didn't work at Gamestop but I was made aware of their military and black discounts when I bought NieR
>>
lmao

Nobody likes black people.
>>
working at gamestop currently

wish we didn't do cash trades on games as soon as they dropped

you know the reason games are always preowned within a week of release

because of thieving crackheads

they steal from redbox and then try to give it to us

i've since stopped taking in trades within 5 days of release of a new game. It makes us look bad and it makes my store look like shit with made cases that aren't the original becaues redbox crackhead thieves need drug money

instituting one policy would prevent us from looking like shit

but no, that would make us get less in trade. Fuck you corporate

and stop letting niggers in the stores

I worked for gamestop (got fired because I abused something)
It honestly depends your area and where you work at. my Boss always told me that there is no need to shove pre-orders and power ups to people. just offer good customer service and show enthusiasm for games. just occasionally mention pre-orders and junk. and to ALWAYS tell customers that, after they buy or think about buying a pre-owned game, they have a free 30 day warranty or can get a refund after 7 days
