Ever worked at Gamestop?
I'm thinking of going to apply for a job but i wanna know things about it like is it fun trk there? Was it easy to get the job and what did you guys do?
Hard to get hired. Make you work bitch hours via midnight releases. They now favor hiring women because how better to pursued nerds to pre-order games and than have women out of their league ask them to.

Thanks Coffin and at the last part i agree. My sister was looking for jobs and she was signing up for a gamestop job and the manager was a lady so she told her that she would get hired if she wanted the job because they need more women instead of men to get more buyers.

I didn't get hired because I'm a dude. I was fucking pissed because I knew the chick they hired instead of me and she knows nothing about games. How am I supposed to get to E3 if I don't work in the industry, man?

I hear you. Shit sucks I always wanted a job in Gamestop but i don't even know now since you told me this.
Work at clothing stores you like. Get dat discount, and they hire just about anybody lol
I don't live near any good clothing stores most of the clothing stores i have to take a train to get to and im way to tired since i take a train to and from school everyday. I just want to walk to my job.

Never worked at gamestop but I did work at the competitor game crazy when it was still around.
It was by far one of the shittiest jobs I've had. Mostly because my manger was a passive aggressive crack head.
It was alright though. You got some random hours and midnight releases. You had to fill out pawn slips, sell the random members cards, ect.
If you didn't meet your goals to sell the stupid member cards (like every other job) they'd get really pissy.
The only real redeeming thing about that job was being able to buff out the scratches in your games for like a dollar and free expired snickers.
Oh and the fact you got to play games about a week before their release. Not sure what gamestop's policy on that is.
Also if you work somewhere ghetto you might get robbed. Haha we had that happen about fifteen minutes after I hopped off shift.
My manager ended up chasing them down and tried to get back the game systems they stole. Lol
@Coffin: You wouldn't have been able to go to E3 working at a game store anyways. I think you'd actually have to be a higher rank than a district manager. You'd have a better chance getting in via some random media company. Too bad E3 isn't open to the public anymore. I always wanted to go since like ever.
I want trk at Hot Topic so I can laugh at kids and store staff all day and get paid for it. That and the mall closes at like 9pm.
I could never work there. It smells weird, the clothes are terrible (the Gaga merchandise there is cheap though...), and there's way too many poser emo/scene/losers there.
rk there? Was it easy to get the job and what did you guys do?
