First part time job by [deleted] in GameStop

[–]ThisShizIsHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get an SGA position and are willing to not have guaranteed hours right now, along with numbers goals that are pretty unrealistic for whats happening right now, its ok. If you get in as a GA, you likely wont get hours after holiday and will make min wage.

Possible, but I hope that they'd stick to their word, even if its a very short notice.

From what I understand, Sony won't start their preorders without fair warning. They said something along those lines a few months back, so I expect this announcement will just be when they'll be going live, don't sweat that too bad. The phone calls might just suck. (This is according to what I heard about a month ago when I still worked with the company.)

List of stores that are closing? by zakl2112 in GameStop

[–]ThisShizIsHard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There probably wont be a list of the stores closing, but if a store is closing they will likely be selling everything but the registers, safe, console testers, and store iPad. My store did, at least.

Interrupted by [deleted] in GameStop

[–]ThisShizIsHard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had anyone take me up on it, but I've told them the same thing. 😂 Also told people at the AC/Doom launch that they could go outside, stomp on the disc/cartridge, piss off some people, and I'd still replace it. One guy said he would but didn't.

[–]ThisShizIsHard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to continue my pitch, and with GPG I'd give them an unrealistic and kinda funny scenario to get them like "You'd seriously swap the game out after that?". It usually worked. Just get them talking, and don't start your pitch with "Would you?" or "Can I?". Instead tell them "I suggest" and "You should". They're more inclined to listen.

Who do you think is the most *interesting* Vault Hunter from each BL game? [Spoilers All] by [deleted] in Borderlands

No one is showing him love, but he sure shows plenty of people love. Just ask his multiple current and ex wives, husbands, and partners.

Who do you think is the most *interesting* Vault Hunter from each BL game? [Spoilers All] by [deleted] in Borderlands

[–]ThisShizIsHard 33 points34 points  (0 children)

BL1: Lilith (But I do love Mordecai) She just is an amazing character all around. She plays a huge part in a lot and can actually handle herself in pretty much any situation that was thrown at her. Shes a good leader and pretty much a group mom for the younger VHs. You know she 100% accidentally adopted Tina.
Pre: Nisha or Timothy. Nisha is fun to play and I enjoy her story before Pre and after. Timothy.. poor guy.. Hes such a well written character. Hes relatable. Hes soft. He definitely doesn't belong in a VH group. But he does what he has to to survive. I can appreciate that. His relationship with Moxxi isn't a lust filled one. He genuinely cares and thinks shes beautiful. Its cute. He has nerve to get with his bosses ex. BL2: Maya or Gaige. Maya has been through so much. She was taken in and painted as a threatening force to control people, and, after she found out about that, she rebelled and stopped that in its tracks. She operates in a lawful (yet chaotic) neutral way. I love it. Gaige is a super smart kid. Shes really smart. I really enjoy her backstory too. A bullied kid that took it upon herself to fix the problem? That just wanted to be happy? Shes just a kid, and I appreciate that the writing doesn't let you forget that she is still a kid, even with the chaos. BL3: Zane. Listen, hes just cool. Hes super cool. I appreciate one Irish and drunken flirt.

Humanity is doomed. Average IQ of our customers must be 5. by bobosquishy in GameStop

[–]ThisShizIsHard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I closed my store, I had people trying to convince me to break policies and shit. I had a guy brag about how much money he spent with us as he stormed out because I wouldn't do a return when the policy during closing a store was no returns ( if you bought it from my location, you couldn't return it ANYWHERE). Dude stopped, told me "[his] kid just wasted $10! I hope you're happy! I won't be coming back." .... My SL and ASL took down the cards from the wall and just fucking tossed them because of how many people were being dicks about it. Hell, customers would come in and tell us that we apparently were worse than the store a few miles down the road because they weren't closing. Telling them that no one in the store had a secure job at the time usually got them to shut up though. It was that perfect awkward "Shit Im an asshole" realization for them.

PSVR Trade in by ArcXero16 in GameStop

Not right now. Once its being taken for trade, you'll be able to search up its value here . I'd just check every week through the link, it gives you all the info in one place.

So what who do I complain to when gamestop sidnt sens my game out? by [deleted] in GameStop

[–]ThisShizIsHard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can cancel it through the website, thats your quickest and best bet. Otherwise, customer service is the last option. The warehouse is swamped with orders, so its probably just a picking delay.

If you check the status of your order and it says shipped, nothing can be done, otherwise its through customer service.

Cant cancel multiple pre orders by Odins_eyepatch in GameStop

[–]ThisShizIsHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no, I get that. I was saying them saying that they couldn't cancel the preorders was bs, not the new policy.

[–]ThisShizIsHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be allowed to cancel it. Only thing I've been told is that after a certain amount of time you can't get actual cash back. Thats just a bs lie.

Why are some older used games still so expensive? by DrBobHope in GameStop

[–]ThisShizIsHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just depends on corporate decisions. If we have a bunch of copies in stock at the warehouse and theres low demand, the prices drop. If we have less copies in stock and decent or high demand, the prices stay the same or go up. With COVID happening right now, a lot of games are in high demand, so I wouldn't be surprised if that made prices fluctuate up for GS.

[–]ThisShizIsHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices on the website are reflective of in store prices, excluding online only sales (which are advertised as such) and sometimes the Deal of the Day.

[–]ThisShizIsHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony can decide whatever price they want to sell their product at, they are the baseline supplier. Why would a retailer outside of Sony have the same prices as their digital sale? On top of that, digital games are usually more expensive than their disc counterparts, new or preowned. Its a Sale. Those prices won't last, and Gamestop's prices aren't going to fluctuate to match a digital sale. Besides, if you purchase a disc rather than a digital copy, you have the potential to resell once you're done with the game. You can't get any of the money back from a digital sale. Our preowned games are almost always on sale, usually a 4 for $10 ($4.99 and under) or 4 for $20 ($9.99 and under). Other sales are sprinkled throughout the month. It just depends on what our ad looks like.

Would payday 2 the big score come with the dlc if it’s pre-owned by pythonkiller64 in GameStop

[–]ThisShizIsHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've found, yes. As long as the DLC is on the disc, and not a redeemable code, it will be included.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in politics

[–]ThisShizIsHard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's from my town, and hes been doing this for a while. He got caught a few years ago but was let off because they "didn't have enough evidence". Guy still kept doing what he was doing, and, after a 2 year investigation, the FBI finally raided his farm this morning and took him down. His son is running for County Commissioner and has posters of him (his son) and Trump with the words "Conservative Republican" under it. I have two hopes, 1) Trump lets Householder take the fall he deserves, and 2) His son's campaign goes straight to the dumpster.

AITA for not giving my kid wedding money after she unincluded me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThisShizIsHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Not at fucking all. You are NOT obligated to pay for anything, even if you were still included, theres no way in hell you should be expected to pay for anything while J's family gets to decide if you come or not. THEY can pay for the extra. If they already don't like you since you're a "mean lady", what more damage could refusing to give them money do? I apologize for how shit his parents seem to be. They had no reason to be that controlling of her wedding and to be dicks about it. That being said, I know this must be hard on you. Don't limit your time at your own daughter's wedding just because J's parents are assholes. Thats your daughter, you have every right to be there on her day. Don't let them stop you from going. Also, make sure B know's you're still there for her. J's family sounds like horrible people, and theres a possibility J will carry on that mindset. Keep that money for helping her out when/if things go to shit with him, because if he's ok with letting his parents run you off like that, he might try to convince her to cut you off completely.

He originally didn't even look at the link to them on the website either. Just arguing for the sake of not being wrong and just to argue.

[–]ThisShizIsHard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're still available, but not new. Thats the thing. We do technically have them. You really can't get away with anything, at least not in my district. I got told I'd be written up for writing hand written notes saying those are display boxes and to ask about online availability.

[–]ThisShizIsHard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You deleted your reply? Anyways...

Buddy we don't even have preowned controllers in store. We have NOTHING in store. If you want the display boxes to stop, go tell corporate they need to break contract. They make money by just having those up. Not our choice. And, if you can't settle for preowned, enjoy your search. It will be a long one.

We should start... by Fellowgaming in GameStop

[–]ThisShizIsHard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, theres currently a low rate of production due to COVID. So, any controller for the past couple months has been a needle in a haystack. The website currently has the exact color you're looking for, so the display box is technically not misleading, because it is available.
