I don't blame them because I don't think many can survive working at gamestop. It's just not a good place to work, and it's sad to see they haven't improved working conditions for employees after all of these awful years
Gamestop employees all quit at once, tell customers to shop elsewhere lmao

How? How was he trying to "flex" on you?
He was bragging about a time where “he walked into the store and it wasn’t busy and saw two of his employees standing around not doing much so he threw all the game cases off the shelves onto the floor and told them to rearrange them in alphabetical order, with customers in the store too
“And he was on some, “yeah i don’t play and i will embarrass you if you think you’re gonna pull something like that here” and i was like
Yeah, im good
Just got a job at bestbuy where all my friends worked
sounds idealistic. without capitalism majority of the consumer goods people love would not exist. your flat panel displays, smart phones, nice cars.
i don't love capitalism but I also understand that for those of us who have lived at it's peak we are all tainted by it. our idealism is not realistic. we love consuming and capitalism facilitates that. nobody would have been innovating at the clip we did just to give away or barter for shyt. the pursuit of profits actually drove progress. the alternative to being paid crumbs is getting it out the mud literally for humans if we abandon ship on societies as we know and people would quickly find out that most humans are not about or cut out for that self sustenance. life.
That nikka sounded like he wanted a fair one because I've seen that escalate to a brawl before. I worked at Staples fresh out of HS and a coworker squared up with the manager because he was talking greasy.He was bragging about a time where “he walked into the store and it wasn’t busy and saw two of his employees standing around not doing much so he threw all the game cases off the shelves onto the floor and told them to rearrange them in alphabetical order, with customers in the store too

unchecked/unregulated capitalism is the problem.

Its wild too me how some of these dudes think people won’t snap on them over 9 dollars an hour.
My cousins ex fiance was a dikk head manager that got his shyt pushed back after an employee quit on him. Came back after work hours and lit him up

Back when I worked there you had to meet a quota of 5 subscriptions and 5 reservations a week. Imagine trying to reach 40 subs/res combined a month, it's completely unrealistic.
What happens if you don't meet the quota?

Definitely would have had some friends come shoplift the fukk out that joint before I left.. All those expensive collectors items would have flew off the shelf while I was on "break"

They have sales quotas? Why? Most people who go to GS already have a purchase in mind. Why are you forcing employees getting paid shyt to play advertiser for these large ass video game publishers?
Looks like I'm not the only one. When I was like 8 or 9 I was like working at EB Games is a dream job
The employees are often mild mannered and nice, I think they specifically hire non-aggressive and nice types on purpose, but the amount of work and shyt they have to do is killer which is why most of them are dead inside.
Chick-Fil-A is an example of place that has super nice ass employees but the difference is that they hire so many employees at any given store that most of them can't really complain about workload, and 1 person can call out without issue. At GS there's like 3 people total at the store and if one wants a day off it's chaos.

shytty margins
They are incentivized to get you to spend money on everything other than games
I opened the thread wondering who in there right mind would choose to work for gamestop in 2021 then read it's somewhere in Nebraska.
Storytime: I'll never forget the year gta 5 dropped. My mama got me the newest nadden, nba, and cod that year for Christmas. So I called gamestop to see how much they would give me me for me and no bullshyt dude straight up told me $15 for each gameNow keep in mind my mama just bought these for black Friday and these bytches weren't even open (still in the plastic) and when I told the dude that dude replied (with a straight face too) "yeah but we would have to open them to make sure that they're in there which would then make them used and we could only give you $15 for them"
Bruh I was so confused. Like in my mind I knew dude was bullshyting. Like fam I already know yall finna sell them $50 a pop so why can't you give me $25-30 a pop?
It was at the point at stopped fukking with gamestop completely
This is completly reasonable on the store’s part
They need to make sure there are actually games in there and it’s not a re-wrap scam
The games are yearly releases so their value is toast after a few months
They’re not selling used yearly releases for $50, you can get NBA2K22 for less than $20
They’re taking a gamble that the shyt they bought is going to sell, and we all know they’re not going to sell everything that they buy, especially sports games that are obsolete in a year

I love you, you know.
“And this graph shows how much we can save if we pay them the state minimum wage”lol at 9 dollars an hour when fast food is paying more.
