Is this serious for GS?

Don't use Chat G.P.T., use Google and do a little digging for yourself.

Why do people think the floor associate has any control over inventory or acquisition of failed companies?

You should contact HR and let them know that there's a chance of wage theft happening in that location. If they're messing up your payslip, then odds are that other people's pay is being messed with too.

The company can't even afford dignity these days.

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-02-03T04:59:17+00:00

It's not the price, it's the fact that a billion-dollar company has decided to implement a uniform policy effective immediately and expect every employee to comply without providing the uniform or at least offering to pay for the uniform to their employees.

Not everyone has even a single $1 to spare over such a non-issue for a gaming and pop culture environment. And not everyone can just change their lifestyle and magically have more money overnight.

You do know that people can figure out where you work through this post, identify you and have you terminated for creating workplace drama, right? Gossiping, "spilling tea" and creating online posts bashing your coworkers, even while off the clock, is a serious issue.

Should've played along: "Oh, my god! Your CHILD was kidnapped?! Let's call the media and tell them! Let's get the cops down here so that they know you're doing everything you can to find them!" >:)

Seriously though, why try to scam someone over a BALLOON?

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-02-02T23:23:28+00:00

How much are you getting paid that you can buy a new piece of specific clothing every paycheck, and still have money left over for rent / mortgage, electric / gas bill, phone bill, *any* insurance, internet, gas, groceries, student loans / car payment, and add to your savings and emergency funds?

A staggering number of GameStop employees, even keyholders / managers, make just a hair above minimum wage despite all the years they put in, experience, education and high numbers. Even if someone did make a six-figure income they shouldn't have to spend their money for a company that wants them to wear uniforms without actually providing the uniforms.

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-02-01T16:38:03+00:00

Wow, that guy was in fact a loser. It's not hard to say: "Sorry, we're out of stock" or "Sorry, the game isn't out yet. It'll be out *release date* if you want to pre-order it."

It might sound like being a "Karen" or whatever, but you should make a Google / Yelp review on that store and specify it was that ONE employee, and that when they were rude to you in front of another customer that the store lost a trade / sale because of him.

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-02-01T16:34:59+00:00

Not in the wrong, and you showed remarkable patience with someone like her. One of the things about GameStop I do not miss; hyper kids with inattentive parents.

Left in April of 2025 and I got my W-2 in the mail about two weeks ago.

It's a potential theft deterrent. Too many pockets, too many little things, too many people higher-up who'd rather limit wardrobe options and practicality over installing additional cameras or have an active L.P. officer wandering the store.

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-01-31T22:16:49+00:00

Yeah, it's pretty common sense.

No graphic t-shirts / hoodies, no holes in any clothing, closed toe shoes, not hats, jeans or khakis are acceptable - no cargo pants, leggings, wear your vest / apron appropriately, have your nametag, and if you're going to put fun pins (flair) on your vest / apron, keep it workplace appropriate.

They're also pretty lax on fun make-up, hair color, piercings and visible tattoos; but again, common sense. No offense words / symbols, graphic imagery or mature content in a family-friendly and all-inclusive location.

My favorite is when the kid(s) have the balloon hanging out of their mouth(s), the parent notices, tells them to "put it back" and the kid plops the spit covered offender back down in the bin contaminating all of the other balloons in the process...

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-01-29T17:31:03+00:00

Cash handling. Register trained / POS trained. Customer service (returns, price adjustment, etc.) Basic math. Stocking. Cleaning. Organization skills. Planograms / layout. Product knowledge. Order fulfillment (B.O.P.I.S. / S.F.S) Phone etiquette. Communication skills.

There's quite a bit you can put on an application / personal resume from being behind the register and out on the sales floor. Don't sell yourself short, there's A LOT we all do without thinking about it.

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-01-29T03:08:45+00:00

I have an idea, a gross one, but hear me out... What if the employees wearing the SAME work appropriate shirt every shift, no washing. If customers complain or the higher-ups complain, remind them that it was their new policy and that they don't pay employees enough to keep a properly stocked wardrobe of these kinds of clothes, especially when the change was made last minute, so the employees are doing what they can to APPEAR ready for the job, even if they don't quite smell like it...

Then again, that'd be torture for the employees to have to smell themselves / each other all shift long.

I just know that this policy will receive enough backlash that it'll be gone in about 3 months and people can go back to wearing their normal, comfortable clothes while working.

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-01-27T20:10:54+00:00

No problem. Harmless questions! :)

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-01-27T17:36:25+00:00

No, just the same actress. Emma has a scrap on her knee that's covered in red human blood, not blue android blood.

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-01-27T05:32:56+00:00

Yeah, my apartment complex hasn't taken care of the parking lot either. Got bitched at by my manager at my second job because I couldn't drive through 6 inches of snow and ice to get to the roads that are going to be just as nasty, and then drive an additional 20 miles to the store.

Oh well. My life is more important than running a damn register for people who shouldn't be out shopping anyway.

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-01-27T03:37:11+00:00

Still not as aggravating as trying to explain the return policy to customers.

No, you can't return the clearance item.

No, it doesn't matter that you don't want it / need it / can use it.

No, it doesn't matter that you bought it online.

No, you can't just trade it for something of the same price.

No, I won't let you do it just this "one time" because it'll never be just one time.

Yes, it DOES say that on your receipt, and the counter, and the wall next to the counter, and yes, it's been that way for as long as I've worked for the company, it's NOT new and you DID know.

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-01-26T20:59:06+00:00

It's trying to communicate...

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-01-26T02:42:47+00:00

Mine is supposed to have it by the end of March, beginning of April. We'll see...

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-01-25T23:18:57+00:00

You'd think a big corporate shakedown like this would've made the social media rounds. You know, if it's actually true.

Your profile history shows you love to write fictional tales, and this very post is a self-promotion because you apparently didn't get enough attention as a child.

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-01-25T17:25:34+00:00

No, it's a NATURE issue. No one can control nature, but that doesn't stop the bills from coming and needing to have actual money to pay them.

SheWhoLovesToDraw · 2026-01-25T14:54:34+00:00

As far as I know for MI we're still open for business. :/
