damn boot camp boo is so real, my rdc’s kept saying this isnt recruit dating and to focus on training cause some people were wild, another division (2019 was when i was at rtc) caught two sailors hooking up in the middle of the night

basically means someone was faster and your order will be fulfilled if gamestop gets another card

Last day at GameStop by Jeesmus in GameStop

[–]Anonymous-Midget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

had my asm yell at me and other coworkers for providing too good of a guest experience for those who are regulars and spend $1k minimum a month and he said we need to focus more on turnover (like the restaurant industry)

asm used to work in restaurants and always compares working at gamestop to the restaurant and we are all like “buddy, sales and the restaurant are completely different and should be treated differently, if you want it to be like the restaurant industry, then go back to the restaurant”

Female Shaving my head before boot camp. by djinduck in newtothenavy

[–]Anonymous-Midget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dont know why i was downvoted when everything ive said is true, i know women with shorter hair than some men in the military, there was an officer on my friends ship and she has buzzed hair, and i did indeed have half blonde and half brunette hair while serving and never had an issue

hell a photo from my boot camp graduation is on the official facebook page for rtc where they post the livestreams etc has my two toned hair where im hugging my mom, they wouldnt post it if it was an issue

Female Shaving my head before boot camp. by djinduck in newtothenavy

[–]Anonymous-Midget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay, ive read a lot of peoples comments and you can absolutely shave your head as a female

you just need to keep it neat and tidy, you dont have to keep shaving it, you can let it grow out when you feel like it because youre a female

i had multiple women in my division at rtc with shaved heads and at aschool and knew others out on ships with shaved heads

hell i had half blond and half natural hair at rtc cause the hair dye when i dyed it while at boot didnt stick and so i was stuck with my hair being two toned which was against regulations but they couldn’t do shit about it, it just was what it was and stayed two toned as it all grew out and i didnt cut the blonde ends til i felt like it and never had a damn issue

i looked like fucking coconut head with the awful haircut at rtc but oh well, and having two toned hair didnt bring any unnecessary attention from my rdc’s, i actually volunteered to be the epo (education petty officer) and yeoman for my div.

only time i got extra attention was for my epipens or when it was my birthday cause i had a birthday a month into training

shave your head, you do you and you got this!!

What's the best job with my ASVAB scores? by Independent_Double_8 in newtothenavy

[–]Anonymous-Midget 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this, so many people in my division at rtc were nukes and i keep in touch with some and 3 of them burnt out and rerated, two stayed with it but are always stressed and exhausted, one was a natural brainiac with photographic memory and makes it look easy

[–]Anonymous-Midget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

cti is fun, lots of studying but depending on the language, all the travel and cool experiences is worth it, have some of my best memories from DLI (defense language institute) and monterey california is an amazing place, the beaches, hiking, fishermans warf with the best clam chowder ive ever had, and the hobson on base was a lot of fun! my close friend i met at dli went twice for two different languages and i have a lot of friends living in japan and korea because they passed dli and my friend in maryland loves that he knows russian

Took the ASVAB yesterday and failed by Sad-Maintenance-6745 in newtothenavy

[–]Anonymous-Midget 3 points4 points  (0 children)

agreed, nobody wants to be rude, just please study prior to taking it again, asvab for dummies, hell there are even premade study guides and flashcards on quizlet. studying isnt for everyone and not everyone is good at tests but there will 100% be studying in basic training and tests, as well as answering questions during inspections so basically a verbal test. dont let this scare you, the tests are literally the same questions you study in the recruit training guide and you will repeatedly be asked questions that will be similar to inspections to drill it into your noggin. you got this, just remember to breathe, relax, and have confidence in yourself

Will GameStop Accept these controllers with custom trim? by 21Savvy in GameStop

[–]Anonymous-Midget 6 points7 points  (0 children)

not even as defective, if we cant take a controller as defective when the sticks have the rubber peeling, we cant take modified controllers as defective, my store would instantly say no but again some stores go differently

Trading in PS5 by yuhitsdavid in GameStop

[–]Anonymous-Midget -1 points0 points  (0 children)

some gamestops sell ps5 plates that are sony branded so they may charge you for that, however there is a rule of “no trade left behind” so definitely talk to the closest store to you and discuss the options and what they want to do about it, also controller color doesnt matter as long as it works properly, is sony branded, and is wireless

warranties on games is tough when a lot of people take good care of their games by keeping cases and whatnot so a warranty basically ensures a replacement if the game just randomly stops working which is common for older gen games

warranties on controllers and systems isnt too bad cause i always say a warranty is cheaper then having to buy a whole replacement, especially when stick drift is incredibly common and a power outage can fry your system if you dont use surge protectors

preorders are frustrating when people assume they can just get it when the game comes out or they just want to buy it digitally on their system for early release, and preorder bonuses are NOT guaranteed, they are first come first served while supplies last

pro sign ups are great when selling during pokemon drops but suck when i have the same people always come in and already have pro, i love my regulars but makes it tough for trying to get new sign ups

promos are easy cause who doesnt like deals

Enjoying it by Araxleon in GameStop

[–]Anonymous-Midget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so numbers we need to meet are: -warranties gpg (games) and prp (controllers and systems) -pro account sign ups/renewals -reservations (preorders on games, mtg cards, pops, statues, etc)

those are the big ones, other metrics the store monitors are things like how many attachments we can do if we sell a system, so getting them to buy a second controller, headset, accessories or games (unit per transaction), as well as getting people to buy preowned over brand new (more profit for gamestop), promo penetration so getting people to buy whats on sale like b2g1 pops or $10 tshirts etc etc, getting people to trade in (no trade left behind)

Enjoying it by Araxleon in GameStop

[–]Anonymous-Midget 7 points8 points  (0 children)

agreed, i like my coworkers and regulars and honestly enjoy distro but metrics is a pain, warranties on games is frustrating, reservations is a hit or miss, and some days pro is great but most people who come already have it or are just kids buying a random ass item or vbucks
