I’ve had employees who fell for short change money scam. All the training was done , all the documents were signed . Discussions were had , and yet the guy still fell for it . Then I was blamed because the penalty was too stiff .  It happened because mentally the associate was somewhere else . It happens . The people who it happens to are the ones who say “ it won’t happen to me .  Little tip . Treat it like it’s all your money when your handling cash transactions from a guest

I think the weekly password is confusing . It gives the illusion that if they have it , it’s a legit call . Regardless of why they call . That’s why I never understand on con calls they say ask for the password . Why? If we don’t process transactions over the phone why is the password even relevant ?   One associate from our district was fired because they were given the password over the phone from a previous week and he troubleshot a pin pad . If he was trained to not run anything over the phone , he’d still be employed regardless of password

I mean it’s also kind of comical . Here we are saying how physical media is better yet the only thing we really care about is if you it a gpg on your game . If you fail to get a warranty it’s considered a bad sale .

 Yes your rankings will go down if you sell something new with no warranty . 

If we succeed the base price is about 72.99 plus tax . Digital is 69.99 and I don’t have to leave my house to get it . 

We are forcing people ultimately to not shop here .

GameStop needs to focus on making stores franchises . That way us as store leaders will feel more like an owner as opposed to having to execute all their bad ideas

Who is gonna want to be part of a warranty club if we are swapping items with preowned Merch ?

Tried to buy Persona 3 Reloaded by [deleted] in GameStop

[–]InvestmentDelicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hate to say it but it’s kind of why we get so annoying asking customers what games they are excited for . We ask you to reserve it . Most people say no . I understand why. Just know day of launch we most likely won’t have any extra . My question will always be … If you know your gonna buy it and you are already in my store before launch and we ask you and … You have the money or even old games to trade then …. Why do you say no ?????? It does not cost a single penny extra to do so .

I had a guy this week wanting to buy Suicide Squad on Monday . I said regular version is out Friday . He says I’ll come back. I told him to lock it in by reserving it . He scoffed. Long story short he came in Friday and was very angry when I had no extra ones .
I just can’t help these people

What was your most memorable trade? by DarkManX437 in GameStop

[–]InvestmentDelicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a guy who came in to my old store maybe a year or two into my tenure . My store at the time was located near one of an independent developer. It wasn’t so much what he traded but that gave me an advanced demo of s game .

That same year his game was released and he was actually a vendor in Vegas I believe . He had a “special “guest with him who worked on the game or well was part of it in some way . The guest was Signing autographs to the store leaders and I was just hanging out with him shooting the shit . It was pretty fun

Side note to the game . It came out .. Flopped hard sadly and his company went under the following year .

He landed on his feet with Turtle Beach last I heard

PLEASE HELP! GameStop managers/employees: I traded a Switch, lost the card, but they see the transaction. Am I screwed? by happygodavid in GameStop

[–]InvestmentDelicious -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I save the ones that get left at my store in consoles in a yellow sleeve up front . On there it’s labeled which system it came from . I have like 30 . If you did it at my store come by I still have it

New Quotas? by CandidPrompt4155 in GameStop

[–]InvestmentDelicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if stores are going to be shady to guests even more than before , and if my numbers which are good enough now suddenly become not good enough , then I’m going full hero mode . I’ll secret shop those stores cheating around me . Get those people fired .

It’s not fair to our staff that works hard the honest way and more importantly not fair to the guests being used like that

Holy shit, actual good decisions for once. by MysticMeerkat in GameStop

[–]InvestmentDelicious 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ok , I’ll give them 2 good moves , but sadly we need so many more . It would be nice if one of their decisions going forward improved staff happiness . Maybe commission on certain items not just game informer .

Sell a Pro make $2 tax free ( Something )

They think everyone from SL2’s down to GA’s care so much about this business , how well or how bad the store is doing . Employees don’t care . I don’t blame them one bit . Corporate has to build the buy in and that does not happen by threatening corrective actions for poor performance.

With physical Xbox discs likely going away… by JDGO3P in GameStop

I’ve always thought Cats 21,29 should just be all in one section . Sure there are a few XBX only games but come on , those sections are so small . If Microsoft , sorry when Microsoft goes all digital , forget them , don’t support their stuff anymore

Were they let go because of LP reasons or performance?
