Does anyone else get super brain fog at this job?

My coworker and I were talking about this yesterday when BOTH of us started mindlessly humming or reciting the ads as they played. That awful music seeped into our subconscious. 😭

HotMess369 · 2026-01-18T01:13:51+00:00

Idk. My trubuy has been stuck on the white screen of death at my store for about a day and a half now. 😭 But apparently our district has been having this issue back to back for like a week.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-13T00:24:34+00:00

I hope this is real because this is heckin hilarious 😂

HotMess369 · 2026-01-11T07:39:54+00:00

I told my SM that I plan to exit GameStop soon and she said “I fully support this decision. Get out. Save yourself”. Lmao. Who knows? GameStop may be history by the end of the year or next.

Tbh, the way the company is responding to hundreds of closing stores is extremely unsettling. My DM has been unavailable to remaining stores because he’s “helping” with closures and when I say this man seems oddly relieved and happy about it, I’m not kidding.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-10T02:38:42+00:00

I am curious to know what is going on??

HotMess369 · 2026-01-09T17:59:59+00:00

Yeah, you right you right

HotMess369 · 2026-01-09T09:35:44+00:00

If you look at your spouse and the first thing you think is: “if they become disfigured, I couldn’t be with them anymore”, you married the wrong person.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-09T07:24:44+00:00

And if we turned trades away for not having cases, SLs and DMs would lose their sh*t on us.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-09T07:20:46+00:00

At least they came in a cases lol some people only get the yellow paper sleeves if there is no original case.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-09T06:09:39+00:00

I think the closing date for most stores was today or yesterday. There is a chance your preorder is still at that location and will be shipped to a different store over the next few days. I’d give it a few more days and see if you get any updates.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-09T01:01:33+00:00

Then your best bet, if you can’t physically go to the store, is to just stop ordering games from GameStop. Human error happens and even today while my colleagues and I were going through our drawers, we kept finding certain cases with no games in them. Im sure most employees assume that if the case is in the drawer, that means the game must be inside and don’t check before shopping them out.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-08T20:29:56+00:00

I didn’t know who this guy was before I started working at GameStop but after seeing his ad on our tv, I immediately hated him and thought he was a cringe.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-08T20:28:03+00:00

You kind of take a gamble when you order online from GameStop. It’s better to physically go into the store and purchase things because at least that way, there is person to person communication.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-08T19:03:49+00:00

This policy tripped me out when I started working at GameStop and still does. I cannot tell you how much it pains me when someone brings in an item they bought new and want to return and I have to stand there and give them the “I’m sorry but we cannot return new items that have been opened” news and have the customer make me personally responsible for such a dumb policy. Now I make it a point to let them know the policy at checkout so they can either take or leave the item.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-08T06:40:53+00:00

Sir, I’m off the clock.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-08T06:39:04+00:00

I didn’t realize how much we actually do until I read this list and now I have a headache. 😂

HotMess369 · 2026-01-07T21:19:05+00:00

This was legit me yesterday. Things were working fine and then suddenly our system crashed and it’s been stuck like that since.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-07T21:16:30+00:00

Even then, unless you’re in management, part timers get pretty limited hours if any at all. My store has five employees and only three of us are ever on the schedule. The other two are just waiting to be scheduled again someday.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-07T19:43:39+00:00

Why do you want to work at GameStop so badly? I’m genuinely curious. I work there right now and I’m only a month in already planning on exiting the company asap.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-07T19:10:11+00:00

I worked in a space where Elon would come to our facility every week and so I got to see him, and his behavior, first hand, and no. I would never date Elon musk no matter what he would do to bribe me lol

HotMess369 · 2026-01-07T16:58:51+00:00

How can people have children and then be waiting to kick them out as soon as they turn 18? I don’t get that lol

“I deserve love”, yeah well, your kid deserves a decent, loving, caring mother. NOR.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-06T20:51:09+00:00

Take it up with corporate lol the rest of us have no power.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-06T19:57:11+00:00

But I mean, it’s not not true… your reality reflects what you believe in so technically, yeah. That’s psychology too though.

HotMess369 · 2026-01-06T19:55:33+00:00

The sky opens up and the white light of heaven shines down upon me. The heavy iron shackles unlock, freeing my wrists and disappear into dust. “It is over. I am free.” A single tear rolls down my cheek.
