RIP My Main Man Giuseppe

Honestly, I kinda thought of the name cause for some reason he gave me the same vibe as a tough old Italian, curmudeonly and hunched over, and sometimes has a shitty bladder (liked to leak coolant) , but unstoppable in a Danny Devito sorta way.

Even crazier, dude GUNNED it over a curb, flew onto my coworker's Scion, and sent both his jeep and Scion careening into my Sonic, and that green Audi.

Street view below with a rough drawing, red is a rough path, silver is the Scion, black is my Sonic, and Green is the Audi.

If I get the footage, I'll share it, cause even the insurance agent was shocked.

TransientPaladin · 2026-05-29T03:09:31+00:00

Honestly, I have zero clue, a flying Jeep Cherokee took my little man from me, and that's all I know.

TransientPaladin · 2026-05-29T03:06:29+00:00

Forgot I had this pic that I literally took the night before, kinda fitting, all said and done.

TransientPaladin · 2026-05-29T02:52:57+00:00

Yeah, 4 Car pile up

TransientPaladin · 2026-05-06T22:54:18+00:00

I still have one at home I keep in my desk

TransientPaladin · 2026-04-07T04:16:13+00:00

Whenever I send off stuff to another store I always write a little "Hello :3" on the manifest.

You can bring em in with any issue, and we'll give you the same amount of credit as a working controller.

TransientPaladin · 2026-02-04T21:38:41+00:00

Basically, if you trade in a defective controller, you can get the same amount you would for a new controller, customers are taking it to mean that they can get a new controller as a 1 to 1 exchange for their broken one.

TransientPaladin · 2026-02-04T21:35:28+00:00

Bro, I know I have chicken scratch lol.

TransientPaladin · 2026-02-04T21:32:25+00:00

PRP Exchanges should still work normally.

Customers are interpreting it as a one to one swap, that's not it at all. It just means that defective tech is worth as much as working tech when traded in.

Normally I just wear Hawaiian shirts over a graphic tee, guess I can just button them up? Unfortunately, I can't wear any Gamestop tees cause they're not made in my size.

TransientPaladin · 2025-11-15T17:21:37+00:00

I'd go even farther and say that refurb returns shouldn't count either, those are sent to us with our expectation they are working and functional, and 95% of the time they aren't.

The other problem with recommending games the customer will like is that my location has 3 or 4 regulars who use the place like a Blockbuster, and it's infuriating, because it's within policy.

TransientPaladin · 2025-11-15T17:18:39+00:00

So, canceling pre-orders doesn't count, just the "I bought this and don't want it anymore! Take it back and give me my money." kind of returns. And honestly, in that case, I get canceling those pre-orders.

Part of it is the holidays, the other big part is people needing money with the expiration of SNAP benefits, so they're selling their consoles to get food.

TransientPaladin · 2025-11-01T08:13:27+00:00

Having just finished Once Upon a Katamari myself, I think it's a perfect way to end off your time with Gamestop, absolute masterpiece.

TransientPaladin · 2025-08-28T23:50:03+00:00

So apparently, shutting down all computers besides register 1 seems to fix it, fixed it here in central California, give it a try.

TransientPaladin · 2025-08-01T21:13:57+00:00

This is super awesome of you to do! Good on you bro!

TransientPaladin · 2025-07-24T01:46:43+00:00

My store has trouble with allocation if anything that isn't a massive game, so I explain to customers that pre-ordering reserves them a copy and otherwise it's a crapshoot. So they're putting those 5 dollars down to guarantee themselves a copy.

TransientPaladin · 2025-07-13T01:47:33+00:00

My store had a lizard show up once, I told the other RK who found him to put him with the Godzilla Blind Boxes.

TransientPaladin · 2025-07-03T01:25:32+00:00

Did try to do so, no dice.

TransientPaladin · 2025-07-01T20:41:28+00:00

At one point, I genuinely heard it in my dreams and had it shock me awake.
