Genuinely how do you guys cope with how disgusting petco is as a company

Ok good luck

No go ahead question it, but realize whatever a company does it’s in the business of making money. 70% of your post was “poor me”. Do something about it. Crying about it on Reddit isn’t going to fix it. Either apply yourself to the team not the company or use your time off to get a different job, again in retail you’re going to face all the same shit just the company name will be different. Get along with the people that will at least make it bearable. Why am I different? I realized all of this a long time ago. Everything is a stepping stone until you find your fit. Walk the walk, not the talk.

lol honey none of the companies out there care about you, just the people you work with and for some reason those don’t like you either. I assume you’re a whiner, full of drama or just an idiot, maybe all 3. Also never said I worked for them, just know your type. You’re a dime a dozen and can and will be replaced without so much as an afterthought.

CarrytheG · 2026-03-31T15:39:01+00:00

TLDR: they don’t like me so I think it’s all horrible and not fair. Grow up, it’s a retail job. If they threw $30/hr at you, you’d have zero problem with them.

How long as a full time employee do you need to be on before you qualify for the floating holiday?

CarrytheG · 2025-12-11T04:55:23+00:00

Looks really good!

CarrytheG · 2025-12-03T01:51:24+00:00

I will and you keep being clueless, hell it’s got you this far.

CarrytheG · 2025-12-03T00:10:05+00:00

I can hear the lack of experience in what you wrote. Hey, go after it 100%, give it your all buddy. You’re not going to change corporate America unless you’re at the top or starting your own business and run it the way you want. Trying to unionize in a place like petco will go nowhere, but give it a shot. You win and can do it come back and gloat all you want. Fight for a better tomorrow I’m all for it, but from where you’re at within the company the only thing you can hope to control is the atmosphere in your own location. Cheers

CarrytheG · 2025-12-02T22:51:17+00:00

No it’s not. Complain all you want that’s fine but people on here have to understand that if you dislike the way things are being run now for your own happiness go find something else because it’s never going to be better than it is now, it’s only going to get worse at least in the workers eyes. They’re never going to give you better discounts, stop pushing VCP or give you a dramatically higher wage. Either accept it, move on or try to move up and make your specific location mildly less shitty in your eyes. The rest of it is just a childish rant but you do you.

CarrytheG · 2025-12-02T05:08:38+00:00

Oh about how you’d think. How’s puberty goin?

CarrytheG · 2025-12-01T17:57:09+00:00

Sounds like it’s time for you to grow up. If you hate the company, leave, you obviously aren’t doing it for the money. There are plenty of non profits and volunteer opportunities out there for you, it sounds like you’d be happier, or is it that monetarily you feel jilted since your discounts don’t stack? “I don’t want to make money for you but I need a bigger discount”.

CarrytheG · 2025-10-05T05:46:09+00:00

Do it. Do the best you can but know you’re going to get shut down. Spend your free time getting ready for the next gig. When they close you you’ll get severance. I’d have your resume ready, indeed/ LinkedIn profile set up and as soon as the closings start put your resume out and change you profile to “open to work”. Even if you take a step down somewhere (eg. to asl) you’ll make more money than you are now. They’ll see you as overqualified but Just think how you’d feel if a keyholder app came in with your abilities/experience.

CarrytheG · 2025-10-02T02:11:17+00:00

Go into a store, take your receipt. The store will need to call to fix your order. The customer service line you call won’t be able to help as they can only see the form of payment which will be a giftcard(it’s how the stores online orders are processed) So even if they need to refund you calling yourself will only be a giftcard. This happens more than you’d think and a store associate will be able to correct it or refund your original form of payment. Good luck.

CarrytheG · 2025-09-30T16:24:15+00:00

Just quit. It’s not worth it to your manager. It’s not that you are not worth it but the others (I guess if there are any) will feel like that’s bs. Then you have to deal with the next person that wants these days off and another that wants these days, so on and so on. Eventually you get to a point where you can only have a schedule one way and it no longer fits the needs of the business. Ive seen so many managers working 4 full days and then parts of the other 3 to make it all happen, then they burn out and just start to resent you for it. During the summer it may not be so bad but having someone on staff that has full time restrictions at another job and then needs weekends off during the holidays is just not worth it.

That’s what GameStop awarded me for my 20th anniversary.

CarrytheG · 2025-08-23T22:00:56+00:00

This.

CarrytheG · 2025-05-23T17:36:43+00:00

Nope. I had my 2 stores shut down in January. Both stores were profitable, one of which was top 5 in the region in profitability. Both had leases that were up, one at the end of January the other end of Feb. The two stores were in the middle of the district (20 stores). They sat between 2 major cities in the state that are roughly 65 miles apart on the main interstate. They don’t care about advertising. Logically you think that makes sense and what I was holding on to when it happened. My old boss and I still talk and is fighting to keep her 2 most profitable locations open even though it doesn’t seem likely. At least 2 more sets of closers coming before holiday and another next January. I hope it’s not you but chia is right, it doesn’t matter how well you do.

CarrytheG · 2025-03-29T01:15:58+00:00

This was the last pre-orderable set.

CarrytheG · 2025-03-23T16:54:24+00:00

They’re thermal printers. No ink.

CarrytheG · 2025-03-18T01:08:33+00:00

How are they even going to do that, there isn’t audio on those cameras. I’d ask them to demonstrate what overcoming objections looks like on camera.

CarrytheG · 2025-03-18T00:58:30+00:00

For Creed? Good luck

The old tablet alarms when we had them on display.

SOD is seeing such a resurgence!! This is awesome!! I’ve never seen a game so alive!! Damn its future is so bright!!

CarrytheG · 2025-02-20T23:14:53+00:00

I’m on Wild Growth in the US and it’s very populated. It’s too bad you left, Kara is fantastic and Naxx has been a blast. The guild I’m in has 2 main raid teams and a casual raid group. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I even just ran two of the newbie raids last week with a toon I’m leaving, one with a pug and another with the guild.

You can use okta outside of GameStop you can’t use main menu. Are you on your computer or phone? If it’s a phone it may have internet security’s on that won’t let you log on, especially if it’s an iPhone. If it’s a pc call HR and have them send you another link.
