That really sucks. Shame the other District manager wouldn't work with your District Manager. If any consolation at least your immediate bosses seem to back you up.

Too bad the Sony Merchandiser didn't just remove it for new "Sony Reset" and given to you later. But going the back door not worth the risk of your job.

But revenge is sweet. Didn't that other Jerk District Manager over-ride what Corporate already allowed you to do? If what he stated "daring to call his district manager was completely inconsequential and unimportant", then argument thrown in here is a District Manager who won't take care of a Gamestop Employee, especially in your situation being a Retro Collector who moderates a Retro Gaming Site. The Ideal outcome is if another PS2 Kios is within driving reach.
Tread softly, I would hate you to lose job over this.

Yeah, I'll be looking around and calling any and all GameStops in my area to hopefully locate another PS2 Kiosk in my district but that's actually quite the tough task to accomplish thanks to most store already having tossed theirs out.

There's a PS2 Slim kiosk at one of the stores in the next town over I saw a few months ago that's one of the last kiosks made and has this whole PS3 Kiosk style and a widescreen 720p LCD panel in it. The 16:9 aspect ratio can be both a good and bad thing though, as most PS2 games aren't even in 480p or widescreen, much less 720p, but those that are will look fantastic. Still though, the original fat PS2 kisok which is the one I was going after is in the running for all time favorite design behind the N64, Gamecube and Xbox ones.

Now if I could somehow find an N64 Gamecube or Xbox kiosk I'd be all over it no matter what.

Anyhow, I can't really do much. He's a DM, I'm an entry level employee. If I start anything I could lose my job and he would come out unscathed. Plus, the fact that the store was in his district and not mine makes it all the more difficult to challenge what he did.

I remember seeing a gamecube kiosk that was already broken for about 2-3 years at a kmart a couple years way back. They never fix the gamecube so I had very little of chance of playing it. I never did like Gamecube controller because it was really small layout buttons.

I've never understood why people do these kinds of things. I work with/for some people who don't give a crap about anyone but themselves and will simply deny you of something "just because the can". And what sucks the worst is, like you said, if you raise hell it won't do anything but make things worse for you.

My philosophy is that people like this have something to hide, though. Try to get in good with some of his employees and maybe you can dig up something on him and turn his ass in and get him fired.

Woha sorry to hear that dude, thats really messed up. I'd be as pissed off as you are, getting dangled such a thing in front of my nose, only to have some stuck up asshole take it away only to literally TRASH the damn thing.

Make's me glad to be one of the people that despise gamestop. There's one around my place only like 5 minutes walk, I walked past it many times. :lol:

I especially loath their ways of ripping people off. I once got ahold of a plastic bag of them that advertised one of their little schemes, I laugh at anyone trading in stuff to them. They dont even mind "telling" you they sell your stuff for way over double what they payed you.

Chances are the shithead manager just wanted the kiosk for himself.
