The dress code was simply a collared shirt, long pants, and shoes. No uniform, and you could wear jeans lol.

Just packing box after box while talking with my friend who was the manager there. Good times :3 Sadly that GameStop closed. Ala Moana rent be high :< Although, just to clarify: That hard sell on pre-order/trade in stuff was a load of bullshit. I flat out asked the head manager day one about it, and she said no, it was just an urban myth blown out of proportion.

And its always helped me save money with price drops being better than most chain stores, and being able to sell games back when I beat them. I don't want to be stuck with a game forever. I usually get half back for a game I paid for. Which sounds like a loss, but it makes any game become half price. Then I get to also put the return trade value towards the next game.

They open the sealed goods and still sell it as new, and because the seal is open they have to put one of their own on, which are absurdly annoying to get off the box and effectively ruins it for asthetic purposes. Literally worse than stubbing your toe. did they do this to all the stock? because i've worked in a different video game retail chain and we did that with two copies of every new game. the real cases would go on the shop floor, and the rest would be dummy cases. when we only had the real cases on the shop floor left to sell that meant we knew easily that we were down to our last two, so we didn't have to waste time searching on our slow, crappy tills, or searching manually through the rest of the stock. also when we sold those last two, we would seal them so that they can still return the game as new if they wanted/needed to --- Tell me your favourite things Tell me your favourite things <cite>TwoDoorPC posted [p:936313106] in Gamestop p...

Do people really just want to buy things from a computer screen and never go anywhere, try on clothes, pick up the game cases and browse? Crazy I agree. I'm not a big fan of Gamestop but I still enjoy visiting them once in a while to buy a used game or just browse. I am also the kind of person that still enjoys going to the bookstore to buy a book or just look around. For me its about the experience. <cite>B18Champ posted [p:936314138] in Gamestop p...
