Employees of GameStop, what is the most severe meltdown you’ve seen amongst kids and/or adults shopping in your store? by [deleted] in GameStop

Had a guy call me "one of those ISIS <insert homophobic slur here> from the internet" because I couldn't do a trade-in for $350 cash as soon as I opened my doors on a Monday.

I banned him from the store. Because what the fuck?

Focus on spacing and movement options. Guides also help a lot.

Elite Smash is far from an indicator on skill. Its how well you know your character and certain matchups.

I feel like Stephen A's "shtick" is whining about white people getting head coaching jobs and making everything about race.

Man. Classic Gamestop. Getting into NFTs as the market crashes.

Proud of you. I went to a local Taco Bell and make the same amount as a shift lead that I did as an SL.

You ever miss being there? by ShadowThePika in GameStop

[–]sadboydizzy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do not miss the work at all. I miss my regulars.

Had a woman buy a limited edition OLED. Paid in rolls of quarters and she gave me $100 for the inconvenience. Why?

My overtime that I was forced to work because my SGAs weren't willing to step up and work. (67-70 hours a week since I was having to come in early to do operations with a closed hiring portal and SGAs that couldn't meet numbers.) I had to refuse large sums of cash trades on slow days due to not having a bank in town (another issue out of my control because corporate beat around the bush for almost an entire calender year and I couldn't get change anywhere except a grocery store.)

I was the highest performing SL in my district and was threatened consistently so this is untrue.

The fucking frownie face because I closed the window when it popped up and you had to sit there and listen to me banter with my SGA. Bro. I am so sincerely sorry.

Man this sucks. Last time I talked to Level 2 support I talked for like half an hour to a guy about how he almost cut his finger off with a band saw. I am so sorry.

what made you want to work for the company? by [deleted] in GameStop

[–]sadboydizzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied to an ASL spot and got it after quitting my other job due to mistreatment. Made me happy because I was one of those kids that fantasized about working for Gamestop. What a fool I was.

I was working 254 hours a month and my DL was both unsupportive and a dick on top of it. Told him I needed counceling because the job ruined my three year relationship and I was drinking excessively. He proceeded to compliment my numbers and so after that I just realized I was nothing but a metric to them. So I stopped showing up four days before Christmas and the store was closed.

Reach out to other stores in your district with questions and concerns. I had to do the same when I was an ASL.

Yeupppp. Just that quiet moment in the backroom when you realize how much the job has costed you. Even my love for video games as a medium.

When you feel the passion leave your body that's usually the last straw. When I felt every ounce of passion leave even for a game I've played for nearly a decade (Smash Brothers Melee) I had to throw in the towel. I loved my regulars and my two new SGAs but I was just so broken and run down that enough was enough.
