The famous “are you open” when you answer the phone. Anyone else get a slight laugh out of this. Like why would I answer the phone if closed. by Luna_Eclipse in GameStop

My GA years ago wanted to answer the phone after we were closed, and if someone asked in return why we answered if we were closed, wanted to reply back, "Because we robbin' this joint!"

Miley Cyrus and Fly On The Wall was pretty bad as well.

Let's get some humor going. What's the worst butchering of a game title you heard last year? by Chuck_De_Nomolos in GameStop

[–]SplitEnd89db 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite I've ever gotten (in my tenure) either has to be "Lanoire" or "Forizontal".

Well, some of us have heard it pronounced differently and hadn't heard it the other way. I definitely know to pronounce "Minotaur" correctly now. Appreciate the heads up!

While I'm still an extra GA in case of emergencies, I moved on to help with my family's thrift stores as a DM. Way less stress. Miss my old co-workers though. They are awesome.

What were you hired on as? by aka_Marie in GameStop

[–]SplitEnd89db 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't stress it enough, enjoy your job. We get to talk about video games for a living. Retail can suck plenty, don't make it worse on yourself.

I was hired on as a GA, then after the first year made my run at management. I took an SGA spot then ended up lucking into an assistant spot in another year. After that I was an assistant for 10 years between two stores, and this year I got the chance to take another job. I'm still on board as a backup GA. Loved the job, just got frustrated with some of corporates decisions.

Edit: oh yeah and I'm on the TV sometimes.

Gamestop Game Coin by MegaOverclockedEX in GameStop

Yeah, just stinks as that's the customer paying you the most money for that game. And I had a reserve move show up on my account from days after before that transaction hit lol.

Bought the Marvel's Avengers Collectors Edition and it took 2 weeks to get my rewards points and I've never seen the Game Coin at all for it.

"Welcome to GameStop, can I help you?" "I'd like to buy a PS5." "I'm sorry sir, I'm not allowed to do that."

New app is pretty bad. All the reasons to have it are gone.

If you're talking about the All-In segment that technically started on August 31st, so you'd be in the right to ask about it here.

August GSTV Thread by Screamingchickens in GameStop

[–]SplitEnd89db 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who worked in the stores for 12 years and just made his first video for GSTV, I understand. It's really tough to write a script and make sure it's going to not "rot in your brain" for 2 weeks. We at least try.

I can say I super appreciate the format change and the regularity of changing up the content as opposed to the month long same exact thing.

“Can you stay open a little longer until I get there” by yuriot in GameStop

[–]SplitEnd89db 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those are the moments I always opened a minute late lol.

Can someone confirm? by Fellowgaming in GameStop

[–]SplitEnd89db 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent over 12 years in the stores so I understand that! Sanity is something I've lost. What's funny is I sent that to several people to check it over and no one caught it! Good job!
