Lol, I was partially kidding.

If you can't buy some games new I wouldn't be mad at you! :P But if you can buy all games new then that's even better!

well, unless you can direct me to a local store that has a new copy of The World Ends With You, I'll probably end up buying it on eBay.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

I worked at Funcoland years ago. They were bought out by Gamestop and I can tell you that there was a much higher priority on selling systems, system cleaning kits, and new games than telling the customer the truth. I got a talking to by my manager at the time for telling someone that War Gods for the N64 wasn't a good game, which prevented him from purchasing it. I didn't work there for much longer.


Well I would have fired you too. Your job is to sell products, not give your opinion. Even if a customer asks for your opinion, you need to lie to make that sale. 


lol I hope you're joking. :S People who work in a shop are NOT supposed to lie to sell.

Not only is that wrong, it is also stupid. Because that same person will come back to tell you what he/she thinks about what you told him/her.

And this always happens in every Gamestop.....



I worked when Gamestop started changing their practice. I literally changed the price of used Gears of War (the first) from 39.99 to 54.99. The funniest thing I've ever seen was used games being more expensive than new. We went through 5 managers, and my favourite one told me he was only getting 33k a year when he should have been getting 39. And on top of that, that wage is low in Canada and isn't viable for living anymore. They started to write us up if we didn't have enough pre-orders, used sales, or guarantees. Which is bull if you're never on cash and is just stocking all your shift. Very shitty practices, I normally go to a small time store relatively far away even though there's 2 Gamestops near me. Though I'll say the job itself wasn't bad, but boy was the company terrible.

As a (three week long) inventory taker, i can tell you that retail outlets idiot-proof most everything. So long as the woman knows what her size is, the size of the merchandise will be clearly marked.

Eh, you'd be surprised at Victorias secret.

They've got stuff on the tables and stuff hung up, but then they've got things just crammed into dressers as well for god knows why, with no rhyme or reason to size or style.

The merchandise is marked, but if you want to browse all the merchandise of a certain kind of underwear unless you get help you have to go through the entire store like your looking for your lost car keys.

 

Of course, that may be why they do it that way.
