Every morning it’s “how many Pros are you going to get? How many warranties are you going to get” Fucking, as many as possible. What do you want me to say? I don’t know how many people are going to come in today. So how am I supposed to know what 35% of that number is?
You know what I am going to do? Shill every metric to every single person that walks in the door. You know, like I do every day. Because that’s what I get paid to do. Why do I have to do a whole song and dance where I guess how many people are going to come in and make up numbers that sound good to my DM? It’s not like I’m going to be held to that made up number and punished if I don’t meet it.
Fuck, it’s so annoying.

okay so i'm starting my first day at gamestop today, anything i should know or not know?

I officially been promoted to customer

I know I'm probably pissing into the wind here and I'm one of the 8 million Pokémon dick heads who probably make your life hell (not me personally but in general) but how can you pay the advertised price for something in full and then be upcharged to what they say the market price is when you go to pick it up? It's probably not illegal but it feels super scummy when you're already paying over MSRP.

So a while ago I pre-ordered Minecraft Dungeons 2 for the XBox. It was this order that made me realize they changed the system. It said that it'll be here by September 24th AND October 9th. Surprise surprise it's not here! And the Gamestop website said that it'll be here by the 20th.

And today my Dad was out, so I asked him to grab my copy of the new Castlevania game. Turns out, the Xbox version is the one that didn't show up! I didn't even get a call about it.

If it's not here soon, I'll get the PS5 version instead. Just annoyed that the last two pre-orders ended in annoyance like this. Both in-store AND online.

I'll survive until then. I have a myriad of games in my collection to play through. Thanks for reading my rant. Have a nice day!

Hi, I was looking for some advice on a situation that occurred today on some games I traded in. Long story short, I was picking up my preorder for Control Resonant and brought some games to trade in towards that. The employee understood that and acknowledged it but despite that still processed the transaction as a “cash trade in”. The employee called the store manager and two different support numbers but couldn’t resolve the issue and told me to come back tomorrow because there was nothing he could do. Either no one was answering his calls or the support lines were no help. This whole situation took close to 90 minutes with no solution.
My question is am I screwed? I didn’t want to leave without a resolution because I was afraid once I walked out the door nothing could be done.

Sorry if this has been asked already but has anyone else come into your stores preordering dragon ball FB11 brightness of hope, only to see the UPC scans for Cybercel stickers? My GameStop guy pointed it out to me and I had to cancel my preorder since it’s not what I wanted when I put the preorder down. The store apparently has hundreds of preorders for it but won’t reach out to people to inform them of the mix up.
