Gamestop Employee bored at work AMA

u got battletoads?

how much is a used copy of spider man on ps4?

You realize if we kept the disks in the cases, anyone could just take the case off the shelf and run out the door with it?

I can tell you never worked a job in your life

It's 4am in Flyover, Burger Land. What area of the globe is Gamestop open at that time.

They are you new you idiot, one has to be displayed or your fat ass wouldn't know that it's in Stock

Do you have Battletoads?

49 Euros

Have you actually gotten calls about Battletoads?

Europe you cretin

Can I pre-order Battle Toads?

No, it's an American joke

you guys sell stuff so expensive. i cant even remember the last time i went inside a gamestop

Hey do you have any information on that new battletoads game for Xbox one?

Have you played any Battletoads games?

Have u got battletoads?

Got battletoads

Do you like your job, besides getting bored sometimes?

OP here, yes you can pre-order battletoads you bunch of bitches

I'm a student, this is just a part time job

How 'bout Combat Amphibians?

Why are you at work bro lmao it's a saturday

Makes sense. Would you enjoy your part--time job more if they let you sell battletoads?

Oh shit, OP delivered.

Are you Team Piccolo or Team Vegeta?

Would you rather be butt fucked by mudslimes and gypsies or ass raped by beaners and niggers?

They will soon!

Not him but in jobs with weekend shifts people literally fight over the weekend shifts because you get paid double.

>I'm a student
You should pay more attention in class then because you failed to address his question.

I'd take both over consensual sex with you

You do realise that shops are open at saturday and people are working inside those shops? Shit man, I've never met a person that thought that on Sunday AND saturday everything's closed. I hope I've enlightened you about that and that you can now go outside on saturdays for some cool shopping action

But Amazon is selling it at 30€ new

What? That's not true at all

Yeah, if only they could display them behind some kind of protective enclosure, like literally every other brick and mortar retailer.

Have you considered the possiblity of us working in different countries with different laws?

Then go buy it you console pleb

Since you work around games, maybe you can answer this one. I played this game years ago but can't remember the name. Drew a picture of one of the characters from memory. Do you have anything like it in stock?

Any ideas why you discount stuff that isn't available in any shop of the country and isn't purchasable online?
I've noticed it a couple times while scrolling through the cheapskate section online
Also any insider stuff what stuff gets a massive discount next week in german gamestop?

What's the hardest part of the job?

Fuck, I guess every other major retailer in existence is using some kind of magic then.

I can tell this is the only job you've ever worked in your life.

>Also any insider stuff what stuff gets a massive discount next week in german gamestop?
Amazon normal prices is the biggest massive discount you'll ever see from GameStop, don't give them money.

Because discounts are an algorithm of what needs to go and or what's popular, it doesn't matter if only the one gamestop in bumfuck nowhere has it in Stock as the only one

I was buying the Onimusha remaster and I saw the dude was out of new copies so he had to use the gutted one. The nervous glance he shot me for a second before he rewrapped the display box was fucking hilarious.

Hes lucky I dont care too much, and the fact it was only costing me $5.

Do you have a copy of Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes on gamecube?

I traded mine is when I was like 12 and now it's like a hundred dollarydoos everywhere I look

The people who lack common sense

But does gamestop offer you a protection plan and awesome presells like samurai spirits?? Thought as much

you got fightoads?

Nah man

>actually asking questions of a fucking gamestop employee
What fucking year is this?

When GameStop goes out of business next year I'm going to throw a tantrum in store and knock over the magazine rack for old time's sake.

Protection plan? Wtf discs don't get scratched anymore, you can buy any edition through Amazon most of the time.
I can buy a second copy in the worst case scenario and I still would spend less.

Stores stopped carrying sixth gen, youd have to game on the website like our boy Spawn Wave.

How long have you been posting on Yea Forums? What's your favorite board?

It's the year of the Toad.
The BATTLETOAD! PRE-ORDER NOW FOR XBOX1

Pls I gotta reach my quota

I'll miss u funny ppl

did you get a job at gamestop because you were passionate bout games?

Kids scratch their shit all the time

No, because it's the only job I could land cause my friend worked there and got me in. But I do like games

Are you a kid?

Y'all got brawlfrogs

power to the players!

I'm 20

this

Does anyone actually buy the t-shirts and little dolls plastered on the walls?

Attached: 1542059238657.jpg (216x282, 23K)

Heres a good question.

Do you have anything in your systems about the next call of duty ? Seeing as a reveal is very very soon i would guess preorders will follow soon after so anything there ?

Then why do you need to pay for such protection?

Those are our main income source actually. Especially Funko crap

Still a placeholder release date sadly

How much is fire red? and do you sell fake copies of the game?

Attached: firerededit.jpg (816x612, 98K)

Still a placeholder release date

Because it's an additional service you peabrain

Have u got taddleboats?

I've only once been in a gamestop. The fuckers wanted to sell a warranty in case the game doesn't work. wtf. Any other store you can return items for free.

An additional service you don't need and believe they're charging you for it even if it's included on the price.
Good luck in life, you're gonna need it, prime scam victim.

This was a meme job when I was teenager ten years ago, so I can't even imagine what it is today. What do you guys actually do?

We don't sell older gen stuff in Austria, only ps3, 360, wii onward

What about just "refund products that don't work" like the rest of stores of any other product do?
You don't have to pay warranty for clothes but you do for videogames, lol.

Do your supervisors encourage you to lie? An idiot gamestop employee told my friend that the price of the fighter's pass would increase in price later if he didn't buy it at that instant.

Why the fuck do you fags not take in shipments for recent releases unless it's cowadoody.

I literally bought DMC5 yesterday and the guy at the till had to search in the warehouse just to find a new copy.

We do have one year warranty included. The protection plan is an additional year plus protection if you break it yourself. Maybe American gamestops are more cutthroat, but their management is extremely hellish compared to ours

When is Battletoads coming out?

Attached: battletoads-release-date-xbox-announcement.png (1280x720, 239K)

OP, how are you handling the fact that GameStop is going down the shitter? Are you already looking for other jobs? I'm not trying to be an asshole, I'm honestly curious. A lot of experts are saying GS is probably going to shut down in the next two years. I mean shit, they lost 500+ million last year.

Attached: gf.png (1437x1007, 457K)

Sell games and shit post on Yea Forums obviously

It's jewry of the highest caliber don't try to justify it.
"Murricans are worse" is not a valid excuse since they're worse at literally everything

We do that aswell, you don't understand what gpg is apparently

I mean, I wasn't even aware that teenagers actually buy games anymore. I thought they all just played Fortnite or whatever.

No like I said, predatory gamestops are not very common here like in America, we don't have as cutthroat a management like you do

Noone likes our distribution, you're preaching to the choir

I'm just a student like I said, I don't depend on the job. But European gamestop isn't in the red actually, we make good profit with merch and shit

We sell lots of PSN to the fortnite teens so that don't worry us

Hey have you got battletoads

What's the main appeal of funko pops?
Since you see these mouth breathing mongoloids that buy them daily and probably have a small chat with some of these, do they sometimes tell you why they're buying this shit?

Dork

I don't know, I really don't. I despise these goddamn things so much I vomit in my mouth everytime we get a delivery where I have to sort through our pile to arrange them

>But European gamestop isn't in the red actually, we make good profit with merch and shit
I think the same happened with Toys 'R' Us before they shut down. Just be careful, user. And good luck with your studies.

Ur a sweetheart :3
I don't need a job at all, I could get paid for studying from the government and it would be roughly the same. But I like working here I have awesome colleagues

what do you plan to do with your life

How come GameStop doesn't sell PC games anymore? All you guys ever have is: Diablo III, The Sims & Barbie's Equestian Adventure. Seriously, you guys need a better variety of PC games.

No wonder they lost 670 million dollars last fiscal year

Toys R' Us is still up and running in Europe so you got no argument there. Cope.

I'm studying IT, so some chill government job. That is cozy because you can't get fired from that in my country and it has superb benefits

Yea that's really limited, most people just buy our steam vouchers and many games don't even have the disks but rather a download code, so that plays a part aswell

But the niggas only wanted to give me $25 when I tried to trade it in a week after release.

Do you get how a business works? We gotta make a profit from trade ins, why else would we do them?? Sell them on eBay if you want what it's worth.

Why would you ever want to work at Gamestop?
It's a dying retail joint with terrible policies and no room for self-improvement
You're better off flipping burgers

No I don't get it.

Haven't they practically stopped selling games?

It's mostly (low quality) merchandise and pre-paid cards these days.

Why do you still work there? As someone who spent 5 years of his life there, you can do so the fuck much better, my man. Get out before you're stuck on that sinking ship.

Have you read that this is a part time job? I don't really care about where I work i just want money and this is way better than the average retail. Despite that, I have the chillest boss ever and awesome colleagues
Correct!

You're trolling but if we bought the games at the price they're worth we wouldn't make a profit now would we? Then we wouldn't take trade ins at all, you're basically paying for the convenience of not having to sell them yourself, haggle, and wait for a customer online.

Man, read the thread before posting, this is not a full time job I am an IT student.

Despite that, I don't know your American conditions and how ruthless your management is, we have it pretty fun here actually.

I did. There are better part time jobs, user.

Sounds like you're from Scandinavia.

How? They all pay the same because I can earn 450 euros max as a student to not have to pay taxes and game retail is way more fun than the horror that is gastronomy or a shit grocery store where the customers have no personality and interaction with you.

Austria! Scandinavia would be even better though, government wise. We have a far right idiot right now on top

it's ma'am! ITS MAAM!

>IT student
Are you doing some non-CS meme degree or what?
Please tell me it's not game design.

I dunno, man. But that place gnaws on your soul after awhile. Having to lie to people day in and day out just to meet a quota that you'll never be justifiably compensated for. Never hated myself as much as I did after working there for so long. Made me genuinely feel like human garbage.

No it is Computer science. Still the bachelor so we have everything from web design to backend databases.

The master I'm planning on doing afterwards specializes you! I plan on doing whatever has the best job prospects since I don't do IT out of passion but for the job security and good pay.

What lies? We don't lie, I don't even push the game protection. We say what it is plain and simple: you have one year warranty anyway but this gives you an extra year plus protection if you happen to break it. I read the gamestop subreddit and American gamestop seems to be rather hostile with surveys and presells but we don't really have to push that

Lucky you then.

Gamestop will be gone in the next two or three years. You're fucked dude.

Good luck then, user, you can do it!
You are a "CS student" after all.

If you have made it past the introductory mathematics courses, you have nothing to fear after that.

Can you leak some unannounced/release dates games?

Ha, as a former gamestop employer fuck you nigga. We used to take out brand new games to play them at home then use the shrink wrap machine in the back to wrap em' up like new. Believe it or not everyone who doesn't is still a giant homo.

We don't really have unofficial release dates, we can tell you all we know but most games without a release announcement have a placeholder release date

That what I was hoping! Thanks man

When are those fuckers going to make Conkers Other Bad Fur Day

What are some dirty gamestop secrets?

If only there was some way to cheaply reproduce the cover art and put that on the shelves.

We have tons of battletoads in Stock but you have to utter a secret phrase for us to sell it to you. And I ain't gonna tell you what it is!

What happens when you hold down 159 on the debit machines?

Nothing cause you have to confirm the reboot after pressing that

Every time someone trades a big stack of games, we have you look around if it’s dead. Every game that’s worth money we steal, but not to many at a time. We use preorder boosts to make the money go back up, so make sure to always check your trade in prices online!
The best part is if they’re getting cash, most of the time people don’t always want a receipt and it doesn’t tell you the cash value on the pin pad, only the trade in value. So we take a few bucks and throw away the receipt for you so you don’t have to dirty your car up.

Never because Conker would suck in the modern day. What decent movies are there to parody? Blade Runner and Upgrade? That's pretty much it.

Wut? It says the price right on our receipt even for cash and the people see the Desktop with all the details during the transaction, is this another murican scam?

A friend of mine recommended this game I think it's called Fighting Frogs.

BR, GameStop branch manager

I only have good things to say friend ;)
seriously though my colleague is reading along :P

Does this really happen in 3rd world countries.

I live in Finland and I've NEVER actually heard this happening in gamestop here. ALL the stores here display brand new games unopened on open shelves.

im sorry bro

hopefully you can get a better job elsewhere

A Fin would freeze to death if they tried to steal anything.

Fins are too busy committing suicide to steal anything

Still not true for GayStop

What's it like living in America being scared 24/7 that niggers are going to steal everything?

Just put some tooth paste on your disc and let it dry,
Then wash it off

Why have you started marketing death stranding for pre-order in some of your stores? Do you know anything about that?

Shit nigger, last time I visited one of you guys I had an okay experience. Atleast it seemed like the worker atleast knew what the fuck she was doing.

>Fins are too busy committing suicide to steal anything
Ranked on suicide rates we are only country number 32. our suicide rate compared to US is higher by 0.1 %. So I don't know where this meme stems from.

>eipä ollut
What Stores actually open the games and take the discs out here? Or don't display them openly?
I don't know if Gamestop has started to do this here, cause I never visit them. All the games there are 10€ more expensive than at other stores.

DUDE, PEOPLE CAN STEEL GOODS
BETTER SELL OPEN CANS AND SODAS
LMAO

did you ever had an annoying customer? What's the story?

>ALL the stores here display brand new games unopened on open shelves.
lol no

Worst one was some entitled gentleman who bought a PS4 pro and a week after he decided he didn't want it and threw a fit when I told him I can only give him a voucher, which it says on the damn recipe and which every other damn store also does. He didn't have it and threatened to sue, I just smiled and told him good luck :)

How does your boss treat you? Do you have any co-workers?

I mean what stores don't do it? I can walk to any Prisma or such and the games are in plastic there on an open shelf.

Some smaller stores might have them in backroom or under table for saving space, like konsolinet, but they sure as hell don't open them and take the discs out.

I heard there's some Digivice listing in the Gamestop system. SKU 191562
Do you know anything more than that about it?

Boss is amazing, very friends like relationship between all of the employees here, we often go to eat after meetings together.

Not in my SEAshithole. Cause we have a security guard armed with a gun in the game store that will shoot you if you steal shit.

Attached: phguard.png (362x573, 314K)

Nope not existent in our system

Is it true that you sell used copies as "new"?
I ordered 4 3ds games this christmas and there was no fucking way somebody else didn't use them before. What the fuck do you do with those cases? Even not considering the stickers shit they're always in terrible conditions

Store number?

SGA here, why does your POS look so shitty? Are you getting GPGs user?

The games you guys take home and put back in the little yellow sleeves aren't new. Toys R Us in the 90s was smarter than you fucks

Don't ya'll have locked cabinets?

When's the next goddamn B2G1 sale? The last one was just fox Xbone/PS4.

Reminder most people don't actually care if the game needs to be put in the case, the only people who ever cause any fuss are greasy neckbeards

It's called a POS for a reason. Yes lots of game protections today. Not.

TLoU II. It's gonna be 2020, isn't it?

Yes

but why does it still have red dead on it? what country are you from?

>Finland
Literally a 3rd world country, idk what the fuck you have to brag about

We don't get updates regularly, do your American ones look better? Now I'm interested

Yeah they have a more rounded look, I'm not at work right now but you can probably google it.
We have people steal even empty cases all the time, and I don't even work in a shitty area

I don't consider subhuman foreigners at all

Doesnt it say 17/11 on OPs screenshot?

I only get games online now by mostly Amazon, but that something I really hated about the store, that and how everything is disorganised and not sorted properly by alphabetical order.
