ok so i work at gamestop, and i decided to make this thread because i saw the gamedays sale in the news section of this site. and while all of you may be excited, its one of the worst fucking times to work at this piece of shit store.

saturday was stressful. nobody wants to fucking deal with gamedays so everything is put off until the day before for all those poor saps working on saturday. yep, i was one of them. so i had to find all these fucking games, gut them, put those stupid ass fucking stickers on them, and put them in a drawer (trust me its time consuming), and on top of that, have to deal with a bunch of dumb ass customers who dont know shit from jack shit. god its so fucking annoying when you are stressing to try to get this shit done before you close (otherwise you will be stuck there for like 2 hours.. WHICH WE WERE ANYWAY), and some stupid ass kid comes up and asks you for some random ass ps2 game. god damn it, these customers who come up and act like its a fucking burger king annoy the shit out of me. theyll come up as soon as they walk in.. 'you got red dead revolver for the ps2?' so i check the fucking computer.. 'yea, we got it for 4.99' and then their typical dumb ass reply is.. 'k... ill take it'

so then i gotta fucking search around for the goddam case that is who the fuck knows where. its probably in the 9.99 and under bin, but really, who even knows if its going to be there. i mean honestly, who even knows if teh case for this game is even in our store. but whatever, when shit like that happens, it usually takes 5 to 10 minutes to deal with. and when having to deal with gamedays or marketing or whatever the hell else we have to do, it really does wear thin on your nerves.

the worst is when sunday arrives though.. the first day of gamedays. what makes it so bad? well.. its not only the first day of gamedays, but its fucking marketing time too. so we have to take all the old marketing in the store and put in new ones while there are a shitload of customers in the store being stupid. so im trying to help these assholes, while working my fastest to get marketing done so i dont have to stay in the fucking store for two extra hours after closing.. because if you exceed a half hour doing what needs to get done in closing, then youre fucked. youre not going to get payed, and youre not going to leave. its that simple. gamestop doesnt give a fuck how many dumbass customers come in the store and fuck up your shit, or how much marketing you need to get done. not to mention that we are already underpayed at it is, fuck i HATE THAT STORE!

the only thing gamestop cares about is making money at the expense of its employees. i cannot tell you how many hours i worked there for free. last newyears, my friend and i were working FIVE HOURS AFTER CLOSING. we had to get a shit load of category counts done and 12 31 08 was the date it was due, and nobody wanted to fucking do it. so it fell on us to do this shit and we stayed until 1230. yea, we missed fucking new years.

oh yea, and when we get a buy 2 get 1 free sale, guess what? no employee discount. free guitar with purchase of guitar hero aerosmith.. guess what? no employee discount. I FUCKING HATE THAT FUCKING STORE!
