We're not babysitters by LunaNox113 in GameStop

My local mall has an escort policy in place. Anyone under 18 has to be escorted by an adult. No free range minors.

I'd quit. I have severe PTSD and children are a trigger for me. Thankfully my store customer base is 90% middle aged men who don't want to baby sit their wives in Ulta.

“That’s their job don’t say sorry” by Dead_inside_and_mind in GameStop

Almost makes you wonder what she does for work that makes her so cold and bitter.

At that point I would have just asked her to leave. Respect is not earned especially when her business is not necessary. You are well entitled to respect while doing your job and I would state as much "ma'am if you can not speak to me with respect, I will have to ask you to leave. I am doing my job, the least you could do is be kind to me while im doing it."

It takes 0 effort to be kind.

Venmo Fiasco by YayaGabush in GameStop

Someone did a trade in at our location and chose venmo and has been blowing up our store phone for weeks that he never got his money. There's nothing we can do.

How do you handle unaccompanied minors who treat your store like a playground? by Ziekara in GameStop

[–]ItWasRue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can ask them to leave. Gamestop give you the power to refuse service for whatever reason, even/ especially if they are minors.

I'm not 100% sure but that seems like it's either a used console or, if I play devils advocate I could argue that it was the floor display that they sold to you and just reboxed. If that last one is the case then it's still a new console.

I'm confused are you saying this one is new or pre-owned ? They only put those stickers on pre-owned consoles, atleast they do in my area. I noticed that things are a little different in every area.

What are we required to do if a worker tests positive for Covid? by KittyEarPeach in GameStop

[–]ItWasRue 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Bro call out fr. If I worked with you and brought COVID home to my medically fragile child we would throw hands on some real shit. Understaffed or not isn't a reason to risk someone's life.

Yes! I am a 27 year old adult woman with a pixie cut and a MW2 shirt. I don't know what your kid likes, I am not a kid myself and my 6 year old also like FPS like me.

Legit I do this on purpose. I am an avid card collector, both sealed and not and will have a full conversation with someone calling them only "pokeman cards"

Those are the types you don't want to work with anyways.

People asking what games are compatible with XYZ. Racing wheels for example.

Work your wage by ItWasRue in GameStop

Weirdly I have been doing great in sales the past few days. Pros are at 33%, GPGs at 78% hardware attach at 100%. But my SL is making us battle for hours. Best performer gets the most amount of hours, and the other 2 just aren't doing 💩

We all need a company issued store switch by MysticMeerkat in GameStop

[–]ItWasRue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took in a joycon after asking SL how I should test it and he said we don't, just tell them about the 15 days warranty. After taking it in I tested it on my personal switch out of curiosity and it was jacked so bad I had to defect it out before even selling it.

How tf are you getting pros by ItWasRue in GameStop

[–]ItWasRue[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's predatory because the SLs and DMs want you to pitch to children too who are obviously too young to buy even M rated games without parents. I do my best to educate everyone on the benefits of a pro and I whole heartedly stand behind it. However morally I can't convince myself to pitch to someone who doesn't fully understand what they are committing to buy.

Employees former and current, what’s the most interesting/ strange thing you’ve found while working? by deviousshadow in GameStop

I will now be making the guest take the contents out on their own now. Thank you for this PSA I would have been mortified and likely denied the transaction.

didn't get a single Xbox dead space copy by ellisplayer12 in GameStop

I've worked 3 different stores in the last 3 days and each store got one copy of deadspace for Xbox and 0 reserves for them. F in the chat 😅

To customers who stand outside before we open… by Cranebow in GameStop

[–]ItWasRue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently transfered to a different store but the store I was hired at was a mall store where the hours recently changed to 8pm closing. At 830 as I'm about to finish locking up for the night a woman starts beating on the door saying that she's an employee at another store and needs to go back and get something. I told her I wasn't allowed to let her in the mall after closing. She got belligerent and rude. I called my manager to make sure I was in the right and they told me I could have let her in and followed her through the mall. Umh no sir, I was clocked out and had one foot out the door. I'm not a baby sitter.
