I thought I was the only one who did this! :laugh:0 -
Oh man. I worked in a GameStop for three days and quit. My manager was the worst person ever. I never got trained to use the register, and whenever I'd answer the phone, I'd always get the damn phone message wrong because it was ridiculously long. T_T0

Okay, maybe not as bad as Hitler, but definitely one of the worst people I'VE ever met. =B0 -
I'm more like the disgruntled nerd seeking out stuff they never have in store (like guides). I'm also the person picking up pre-order stuff for the bonus in game rewards.

I haven't been back in a while. They "accidentally" sold my pre-ordered GW2 game and I had to pick it up from a different location. Also, their pokemon game stock sucks and they never have the guides I want in stock.

Why wouldn't people go to these places. If you have any console that is from the past you won't find new games for them in regular stores and the games you get used are cheaper.People still go to these places?0 -

Yea, but you have to keep in mind.. entering Gamestop means you have to combat the excess nerd away from you. Otherwise you drown in it. Not to mention, in my experience there have only been 2 types of people who work there:
1.) The angsty woman who thinks all other female gamers are poseurs, so she acts like a giant unt with a capital "C".
and
2.)The borderline awkward stereotypical guy with his "V" card who doesn't comprehend basic human interaction with the opposite gender.

Ironically the ladies who work at my local gamestop back in Jersey never gave me a bad vibe. Maybe because they only act that way towards other girls? I also never heard the term v card before but that doesn't bother me. :laugh:
This makes me want to get a part time job there to break the stereotype with my overly flirty self.0 -
A GAME employee once asked me if I needed help picking out a gift for my boyfriend a couple of years ago. I laughed it off and he sort of shuffled away very slowly.
At least Steam isn't a judgemental prat.0 -

Blegh!!! Had that happen too!0 -
I worked at gamestop for 3 years, so clearly you can guess which one I was. However, I was also the employee that everyone loved. I wouldn't pressure people into getting the card or preordering games or warranties, I refused to charge at the customers the first step they took in the door and throw a coming soon flyer or sales flyer in their face. You would never see me following them around the store like a lost puppy dog.
Sadly, not doing those things had me in hot water. Although I still had THE BEST NUMBERS in the store...because they saw me on camera not harassing people walking around I was repeatedly talked to. *kitten* Gamestop. It was better when it was called Electronics Boutique and was actually a job that entailed talking about video games and not selling people **** they didn't need. Also, I am pretty sure that Gamestop is now the reason I don't play video games anymore (save a few).

I had a female friend that worked there that did the same thing. She loved talking about video games with people and her loved her job there, just not the corporate push on stuff, her numbers were always great and her manager loved her, but the regional manager hated that she didn't push everything on everyone. They closed the store she was at because they built one down the street, offered everyone else at the store a job there, but "didn't have space" for her.0 -
"The employee who feels the same way."
Haha, I know quite a few of the people working at the Gamestop, and they recognize me. I used to go in there all of the time when I was underage and normally, they ID'd constantly. I came in so often, they would just say "Yeah, we know you. No problem." They are all so goofy, and actually gamers also, so they feel our pain (at least at my store). It is corporate that gives us crap trade-in prices. I tried to trade in my Street Fighter IV. They offered me $5.00, but it was on the shelf for $30. Screw that. I collect games now, lol.0 -

So you didn't even buy your boyfriend the game!? You obviously aren't a gamer since you know...ovaries...0 -
My 'type' would be <takes DEEP breath> "Old school (think coin-op and 2nd-6th generation console) gamer who's too cheap to spend more than $30 for a game and is perfectly content to wait 6-9 months for either the price to drop or for used versions to flood the market" <gasp> The Wii came out in 2006 and I didn't buy one until 3-4 years later. <catches breath>
When I walk into GameStop, I march straight to the used Wii game section and they only ask me once if I need help and leave me alone.
The most exciting thing to me about the upcoming XBox One is that next year it should push down price for a used XBox 360 Kinect bundle to $149 or so. *sold*0 -
Is there a category for "Goes in for one game, walks out with five more used ones than intended"?0

Pics or it didn't happen0 -
They need to draw a picture of a mother putting every single game back onto the shelf that her 'darlings' have decided to take down due to the pretty covers or interest in the characters.
My daughter popped a balloon at GameStop the other day. I felt awful for ruining their trade-in display. XD0 -
The employees at the Gamestops around here are always awesome. Never had a bad one.
Once, corporate sent a local store's copies of a brand new, very anticipated release to another store. Not only did one of the employees hop in his car to drive the 1 hour round trip to bring the games to us (with a smile on his face), but they also sent someone to get donuts and coffee for the customers in line. For some places that would have been unheard of... but for this location THIS was normal customer service.
Guess we have just been lucky.0 -

This. I go in for one thing and leave with like 10 games.0 -

Yeah, I'm guilty of this as well. >.>0 -
I can honestly say I've never been into a gamestop despite being a gamer. Probably because I'm the guy that manager fears. I use Steam and other similar services to get my games, and I get digital download copies of everything I buy.0
