| DKII said: Minimum-wage GS employees aren't usually the most educated crop of people to begin with. As a retail employee in general you should be able to sell your products without mindlessly bashing them regardless of your actual knowledge of them, though. Basically a couple of idiots that should be fired but won't be 'cause no one else probably wants to work there. (regardless of which system they were doing it to). |
As a current employee at Gamestop (as my second job), I'm gonna have to agree with this. Most of the employees are either not college educated, or do all of their schooling at a Community College (not bashing CC's, it's just the stereotypical CC around here isn't all that great. Comparable to a regulars class in high school).
Gamestop managers when they hire have typically about 200 applications to sift through. That's quite a daunting task for any hiring manager. So after they throw away a few from losers, they're just happy to see one that says "high school graduate".
Fanboyism is rampant. I'll be the first to admit that I like to push the Wii, but we're always sold out so I don't ever get the chance. When somebody asks about the 360 or PS3, I answer as honestly as I can and show them the games. Typically when a customer looks at the PS3 selection of games, then the 360, they wonder why the PS3 game selection is so small compared to everything else. (lol) I realize this last sentence didn't contribute anything, but I had to get it out there.
Anyway, they won't get fired. For some, this minimum wage job is all they have and all they know. It would be wrong to take that away from them regardless of how much they bash.
Also, GS typically doesn't hire under 18 unless desperate. They're too worried about theft.
