A couple of things.

First off, I'd complain to his boss and to the corporate office about how he completely blew off corporate, and another district manager. Even if it creates trouble for you, fuck this guy. Give him as much shit as you possibly can. And even if they don't do anything, corporate will have some kind of record of this guy going behind their backs. If your district manager comes by or you get a chance to talk to her, complain about it. And make it clear to her that she also got undermined, not just you.

Second off, I'd start looking for a new job now, because if things go south and you get the fallout, you'll need another job. If your store manager likes you, cool. Use him as a reference. But don't go above his level.

In addition, bad policy for any District Manager who doesn't take of his employees, even those from another District. I think Corporate mindset of "Take Care of Customers" also applies to their own workers. Managers that don't are not good for the company, maybe Corporate might see that and put pressure on that manager to find you a kiosk.

The ammunition you have besides your work ethic is the thought that you live and breathe Video games even off the clock.
Maybe bring up that you also Moderate a Retro Gaming Site to show why personal importance of getting that Kiosk.
(Well maybe edit previous pages of your negative statements and by all means, this sentence I am now typing.)
Careful, too much static may cause risk of your job, hope you find another Kiosk.

Like I told Ack, it doesn't work that way at GS.

Non-management employees are at the very bottom rung of the ladder below everything else. Customers aren't number one either, that's management's position with customers falling a step or two below them.

What GS likes is money and reoccurring sales with lots of qualified transactions and UPT's which basically means if a customer chooses not to pre-order anything or not to buy an edge card then us employees are the ones at fault, even if they said no for not having enough money. Customers that do pre-order things and buy edge cards are to be treated like royalty, or completely ignored upon canceling any orders etc....

Hostile environment, guess smarter to not make waves then. Eventually better opportunities will come up, hang in there.

I do not understand why people still but new games there. Most of my newish game purchases come from Best Buy and Target. Not much better but still. I hate Gamest*p.
