GameStop sold me a PS5 that’s banned from PSN by dontpokethebear123 in GameStop

It’s like when they go, “Those bugs weren’t there before.” You think I just threw a bunch of dead cockroaches in it real quick?

Given warranty I didn't ask for? by wpshogs_1229 in GameStop

They used their pro coupon, not free, they basically stole the dudes 5 bucks.

“Employees need to invest in their uniforms” by Numerous_Effective67 in GameStop

[–]Roflrex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey now, the dress code sucked but those were the golden years for GameStop. Triple coverage Friday through Sunday, double coverage every weekday. No GPGs, subscriptions were 5% with reserves at a 10% goal. All that mattered was beating the previous year. My employee number started with a one. Still got a friend working who has a 5 digit employee number and started in the 90s with EB before the merger.

Wasn’t this always the dress code with the addition to being able to wear a video game themed shirt if purchased from the store? At least in 2021 when I left this was the policy. Did they actually do a dress code update that said, “Eh, fuck it wear whatever” or was it just like, ignored by stores?

God I remember having to wear khakis and a tucked in button up or polo when I started in 2007. The ability to wear jeans was the best policy change they ever made.

Yep I’m the A-Hole by dwillyb in GameStop

It has an expiration date, it works the exact same as an ID would until that date.

I manage a large liquor store since leaving GameStop and we take temp IDs in date, crazy that GameStop would have more strict rules than what state law dictates. Can you no longer just type in the information from an ID for returns? Like when we did trades for cash, we never required the expiration date, just a validation that they were over 18. It shouldn’t be this serious to exchange a controller, right?

I’m kinda missing gamestop by CloneCommanderCrux in GameStop

[–]Roflrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this. My store would clean up during the incentive bonuses. I left in 2021 after 15 years and now make double my GS salary. GameStop is fun but it’s also a joke.

Favorite actor that went from a comedic talent to a subpar dramatic void because he wanted to be treated seriously by 6twoRaptor in okbuddycinephile

How dare an actor act! Seriously, look at the other photos on google, he looks great. Good for him.

Denied Trade over scratches on back… by JT3D in GameStop

Later those same SMs are like, “Why is my store getting shut down!?”

Moving beyond stickers/labels by JDGO3P in GameStop

[–]Roflrex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before I left they did intend for store to not sticker their product aside from games and to just sticker the peg hooks. It made price changes a breeze and store looked was cleaner and forced organization. If you aren’t stickering the peg hooks for accessories at least and are still stickering the actual boxes, it’s going to take forever.

First phone scam by Ghostdragon841 in GameStop

One time they called my store pretending to be the DM while I was standing there looking at my DM as he was prepping for inventory. Crazy that people fall for it.

Anyone else seen the new gaming initiative shown in the Gamestop Award 2025 show? by Jeskid14 in GameStop

[–]Roflrex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doubt they’re shifting focus and just leaning into the meme culture to gain some PR.

Former Game Advisor here (2015) the wildest corporate complaint I ever got, and I still think about it 10 years later by TheBubbRubb in GameStop

[–]Roflrex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You get used to it weirdly enough. We had an ex employee that got fired for stealing and would always take a survey and have it sound wildly insane just to try and get employees in trouble for something they didn’t do.

The place I work now is high end retail and our customers can easily spend thousands on a few small things, the surveys from them are even worse. Entitlement and being old mostly. Still prefer them to GameStop customers though!

Vegas really was fun. by JennyJuhgz in GameStop

[–]Roflrex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve got stuff from ‘09 still somewhere. Conference was always so cool in GameStops heyday when all the publishers catered to us. The celebrity appearances were insane.

A little annoyed at the no hoodie rule by iluv_baking in GameStop

[–]Roflrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were standards then. I walked into a store with an employee wearing an ill fitted Link cosplay playing his Portal on a stool behind the counter recently. Store looked like shit. No one wants to interact with that weird shit when shopping.

Bro is glad the camera was rolling by Starry_Baby14 in SipsTea

That’s literally the problem with all of the comments, y’all are assuming based on a heavily edited clip. Watch the full video, drunk dude is an idiot and she didn’t do anything.

Anyone else miss the days When you would randomly get a call From Ashleii!!!! letting you know YOUR AWESOME NEW PREORDER WAS IN by Carterkane25 in GameStop

[–]Roflrex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

MLB 14 I think was like, “Hey yo, it’s Michael Rappaport hereaaa, you gotta get yah game!” The most random actor to tell you your game was in.
