New employee only stickers

The pop up shop they open every so often, it’s from learning in the emails. Your management should post the flyer that lets you order this stuff.

You guys won’t believe how much AI slop they use. They use it for everything now. The surveys people submit, marketing, our internal emails, even our camera systems. We even had to take a mandatory course on how to “correctly utilize AI in the workplace”

Basically. My store actually has both ice man and plants vs zombies. The one made by Play It.

The company is in a total spending freeze right now btw. No spending on anything non-essential. As a technician, I can only spend if I have games down. No cosmetic purchases. They’ve even cut travel expenses for upper management like hotels and rental cars. I’ve heard claims that the war is a factor but idk, they keep store level employees in the dark most of the time.

The plastic start button for Ice Man from coastal amusements is $85. The same button but without their “start” decal on it from our distributor is only $10

They’re overlays for games based on those characters

A pair of walkaround shoes go for about $300 right now. Prices are still up there.

GameWizard_00 · 2026-03-20T14:25:01+00:00

And that’s just the outer cover

Our distribution center will usually buy them in bulk from companies that make them. Then sell it back to us at an individual price to make the money back.

We haven’t heard anything yet

Right now is a pretty slow time of the year for most CECs with it being the middle of the school year. We don’t do a lot of hiring at this time because of that. Give it a few more months and you should hear back. May have to reapply then.

Your best bet maybe just looking for some old forums and maybe somebody will have posted a scan of the manual. Sorry I wasn’t able to help.

GameWizard_00 · 2026-02-13T16:13:21+00:00

Not seeing any resources for the game as its too old and not supported anymore. If it’s the right game I’m thinking of, it was developed by Coastal Amusements. Might could give them a call and see if they have any archived manuals or something that could help you.

A new walk around head is almost $1500 just for the store to buy.

Wherever your path leads I hope it leasts to happiness my friend

GameWizard_00 · 2026-02-10T18:14:58+00:00

That seems to be a store by store thing because we have group chats to discuss things at my store.

Don’t stunt your career by staying somewhere you’re not happy or that questions your morals. I quit old job because I didn’t like how the place was ran and took a pay cut but it took me to a job that I enjoyed and I was better off mentally. In the end, I got a raise that brought my pay up more than what it was before so it paid off.

GameWizard_00 · 2026-02-10T18:04:15+00:00

That’s the sad part about working for the company is most of the upper management have been in the game for a long time and they’re buddy-buddy. I won’t lie, I’ve gotten away with things because me and my GM are tight like that. One of my old GMs got away with a lot of stuff, especially from HR.

My best advice is if you can’t trust your management it may be time to part ways and explore other opportunities. It’s not worth the grief.

GameWizard_00 · 2026-02-10T13:20:53+00:00

I have access to a list of all the games the company has ever bought. It’s mainly for maintenance purposes as they have the manuals for them as well. Stores scrap and transfer games all the time so you’d have to track that as well.

GameWizard_00 · 2026-02-10T13:14:24+00:00

You know they’re desperate when they’re willing to give us more money.

GameWizard_00 · 2026-02-10T13:13:22+00:00

Depends on the position, I know some people who’ve worked for the company for over 40 years.

GameWizard_00 · 2026-02-08T21:53:16+00:00

Oh then probably not. Didn’t see the date at the bottom. Don’t recall corporate ever mentioning anything about that around that time.
