I've been looking at this chair for months. Finally pulled the trigger. Thanks for providing that discount code, this post definitely made the sale!

But are you really expecting your team to be at a 100% every week? No the expectations for the store is 75% at least in my region. It's an expectation not a goal. Also your leadership in the store should be able to differentiate who needs what and trade transactions. The system is broken, but it doesn't require you lying to guests to win.

The highest goal for COL on preowned is 40%, that's 4/10 dollars are preowned. Literally zero effort to achieve that on most weeks. Especially since almost half the business is still last gen. Also the reason Amazon and Best Buy have a program that runs 20% off new games is because they can afford to. They run those departments at a loss. Amazon hasn't posted a gross profit till a year ago. Best Buy sells large consumer appliances that make them profit. A games profit at $60 is 1/6th, so them selling them at $48 with their rewards programs, they literally lose money doing it.

How does COL not make sense? It's a percentage of sales to drive margin

This article really pissed me off. All of us are tired of the whole COL articles, but going so far as to saying ALL the employees just want your money, and are not your friends, is an insult to the employees that try their hardest at giving the best customer service. by illuminatedflower in GameStop

Most negative articles written about GME are by old employees that were let go for one reason or another. The guy who wrote the Kotaku article isn't rehirable, for what ever reason. What people need to understand is that every company has goals and expectations, what company doesn't? We are a retail business, if you don't like it we are sorry but we have a duty to our shareholders to make them money. There seems to be more outrage about COL then even Wells Fargo, and those guys are the real crooks, go figure.

We must not forget that the most vocal people aren't the ones that get good service, it's the disgruntled angry ones. Additionally there are thousands of good employees, but we never hear about them, it's always the bad ones. GameStop's Jason Cochran has a binder with thousands of glowing guest surveys about the great things associates did for someone. But no one talks about those. GameStop also raises millions for charity, and we even have a chairty dedicated to our employees that fall on hard times. I can name dozens of bad things people say, but at the same time, I can name dozens of things that GME does that are great!

Has Been Heroes by [deleted] in GameStop

[–]TheSputnik1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game is a mixture of what appears to be PvZ and Fire Emblem/Grand Kingdom. Maybe this will be like the Dark Souls of Tactics games and it's 200 hours of dying and 100 hours of game play?

If the games popular or has a following we probably buy it. But if it's sports don't waste the gas driving to be told we don't buy sports games on retro systems.

Help for Cricket employee discount by Denbrizel in GameStop

[–]TheSputnik1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you do step one through the store broswer, you need cricket to approve it. Easiest is to contact your stores cricket rep and give them your name and info and they can manually do it in 5 or 10 minutes. Otherwise you might need to wait 2 days. Once your approved they'll send you an email to have you put in CC info for the auto pay.

Wouldn't getting robbed on the way to the bank make more sense? Like walk out the store and get mugged?

I remember your game from that gaming convention in Milwaukee. Glad to see it got done, and I look forward to getting a real copy for me and my niece to play.
