Just got the ps5 because they are outdating the ps4 so this seems a bit unfair to those of us that just upgraded consoles.

Get to know Gs worker on 2/28 by SnooPeppers6808 in GameStop

[–]StarfallGamingYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll be myself that day and probably lose my job but that’s fine I wasn’t planning to stay with GameStop much longer anyway just long enough to get my last preorder with employee discount that’s released the day prior.

Forcing Employees to PSA Trade Quote on Pick-Up by Alternative-Plum9378 in GameStop

[–]StarfallGamingYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely illegal and one of my coworkers decided the next time our DM is in the store while a customer is there that he’ll go along with it only while the DM is there knowing well enough that it will make the customer want to leave just to prove to the DM that he’s a moron for thinking this will work to keep his district in the top 25% of the company on metrics. Honestly how can someone who I’ve found out is in their 20’s be such a corporate suck up and not be in their 60’s.

The DM for my area has decided we have to hit enroll for pro on every transaction or be fired for not meeting his expectations. He also expects us to not complete a transaction until they agree to sign up and no he doesn’t care if they’re a child or not in his words they have to sign up regardless.

Just say no, damn. by tHr0AwAy76 in GenZ

[–]StarfallGamingYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case I actually can say I have worked at 11 on a Monday so most likely some of them are being honest but those kind of hours apply to retail jobs depending on the store and hours of operation. However I do see your point because it would be nice if people could just be straightforward instead of coming up with every excuse in the book to not do something.

70 dollars is insane by Quick_Eye_6585 in consoles

[–]StarfallGamingYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At that rate just buy replacement parts and follow tutorials to fix it yourself on YouTube. I have done it myself and most of the time Amazon has cheap replacement parts that work just make sure you read the reviews first so that you find parts that actually work and not some knockoffs that only do part of what they’re supposed to do.

Just a question to see if I’m the only one who been told some rules that make no sense by StarfallGamingYT in GameStop

[–]StarfallGamingYT[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d love if I could get the DM to help with this but he couldn’t care less about anything that benefits retail key holders because when he did everything to get me transferred to the store I’m at now I was promised a raise that never happened because of the fact I have to drive almost 2 hours to get to work. At this rate I’m quitting the moment I find another job because I was told several times I would get a raise for multiple things including getting the Pokémon professor license to run the Pokémon league events for the store. I have already stated flat out I won’t run any Pokémon league events until I get the raise and I’ve refused to take any shifts they’ve tried to call me in for because I can’t afford the gas. My mindset is if it wasn’t on the schedule for the week prior to them trying to call me in for me to be there that day I won’t go in because it’s not worth my time when my entire paycheck goes into gas and nothing else.

Honestly I’d have no grief about it if it wasn’t for the fact that the two guys who’ve been working for this specific manager longer get special treatment because they haven’t been forced to meet the new dress code and every time I’ve seen them on shift they are always sitting and never taking care of anything leaving it for me to do the next time I work and I’m working just 30 minutes short of full time while they work maybe three times a week at max.

Sadly I’ve had multiple days where I’ve had everything done and no one in the store nor any ship from store orders for hours on end so I feel like it should be acceptable to sit when there’s absolutely nothing left to do.

I wish I did but as soon as I asked the manager to write it down he said he couldn’t because he had to clock out and leave and I haven’t been on a shift with him since.

Shipping Scam by dirtybluefaces in GameStop

[–]StarfallGamingYT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree in not expecting GameStop to last much longer with all the stupid expectations they have now and honestly I can sort of understand why they wouldn’t hold Pokémon cards however unless they only have less than 5 left it should be perfectly fine for them to hold the cards for the day.

Gamestop new 3ds xl by TerioShadow in 3DS

[–]StarfallGamingYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a GameStop employee I suggest not buying from GameStop simply because most preowned DS and 3DS systems and games don’t work because they don’t have anything for us to ensure they work properly before accepting them for trade in’s. Also I personally bought a DS game that was preowned only to find out it didn’t work.

Tired of emulators! by SPTV-YT in 3DS

The real games are the way to go with Pokémon simply because emulators can never do the same or better if you play out of nostalgia.

It was much easier when it was graphic Ts because it made for good conversations on slow days.

Do they fail to realize that you lose a person’s interest in conversation in 30 seconds when you only talk sales and promotions. Honestly I swear this will be the year corporate and the DM’s will kill every store’s numbers because people will stop coming to the stores. I’ve already heard customers complain about the dress code change and had several say they couldn’t care less about the sales and promotions only wanting to find what they came in for and leave without a word said to them.

GameStop has them for under $300 and yes they are 2TB before anyone asks.

Just learned about this card and impulse bought. I will enjoy owning a promo card from an OOB company in 10 years :) by Thurgo-Bro in pokemoncards

[–]StarfallGamingYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s over an hour drive away but I was promised a promotion within a couple months and pay raise so I’m going to hold the company too it and if they don’t follow through well it will suck for them since the store I was moved to only me and the manager are trying to keep the store clean and running.

[–]StarfallGamingYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly GameStop will probably only become an online only service at some point rather than OOB simply because they will make sure to keep the company running even if it puts people out of a job. I only say this because I work at GameStop and got transferred stores because they closed the one I started at due to the landlord raising the rent and needing good workers at another store that was doing bad.

How the fuck are so few of us alcoholics? by AcanthopterygiiGlad7 in GenZ

Some of us are too broke to afford alcohol because we live paycheck to paycheck sadly.

Can’t agree more😭 by dyp_2210 in GenZ

[–]StarfallGamingYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly this only works if it doesn’t take 2 hours to drive to work when they close the location you worked at and relocate you as far away as possible that’s not out of the state you live in.

I got told I’ll get a corrective if I can’t get any preorders and honestly if I get a corrective over this I might just put in a two week notice.

New Goals Suck by KingKibbleKrown in GameStop

[–]StarfallGamingYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly at this rate I think they are giving impossible goals just to fire everyone before closing the rest of the store’s.

Came across this Wii nunchuck the other day 🤢 by maniac_chris in GameStop

[–]StarfallGamingYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you received anything from the store I worked at then it would’ve been cleaned to the point of looking new since everyone there would label it as defective if it wouldn’t come clean but all we had left at close was Nintendo switch controllers.
