Is Gamestop Evil? The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

[gtmtnbiker]

I used to work at Gamestop and guess what? The employee's get grabs at all that shit, and take it most of the time, at least at the stores near me.

I don't have a problem with this. That's one of the perks of being a Gamestop employee.

You can be a Gamestop employee making $9/hr and have this awesome perk. Or you could be a software developer fresh out of college making $30/hour + benefits or doing some other higher-paying professional job.

...so what exactly are you trying to say here? I don't get it. Seriously, I don't understand what this comparison has to do with just about anything. It's not as if all folks who work at Gamestop are college graduates with software or engineering related degrees.

Gamestop PS2 Competetion
I went by the Sony store, not too much left in PS2 games, but if there is one in your area check it out. New PS2 games are all going for $5.99 locally at Sony here.

Sony store?

Sorry for not being clear or finishing my thoughts. The point I was trying to make for those folks who rant about Gamestop employees getting the good stuff is that you have two options: 1. Be a Gamestop employee who makes minimum wage but gets some good stuff from time to time. Or 2. Get a good paying job and you can buy all the cool stuff you desire.

Just like an Apple store. I just go there for the last of the PS2 games being cleared out.

Yes, there's a Sony store. It's like the Apple store but with less douchebags.

Nine dollars an hour my fucking ass.

You'll be glad if your even getting the legal minimum wage and your paychecks aren't constantly getting cut short regardless of how many hours you've worked.

@Dunpeal, that's why you no longer have a job. No matter where you work at just taking shit never works out well with any employer. Yeah the job can really suck at times, but ii has it's moments (though rare) that make the job worth it which don't involve breaking policy.
