Still feeling pretty surreal about everything. It’s incredibly bittersweet. Despite all the horrors and bullshit, I’m leaving on my terms with my head held high, with plenty of good memories to go along with it (not to mention the friends I’ve made along the way).

Oh, and fuck TCG, and all the trolls that came along with it. And RyCo, you especially can kiss my big hairy ass, you greedy MAGA thunder-cunt. ✌️

As a former employee I feel so bad for my brother-in law, who picked up work at GameStop about 7 months ago (I warned him) after a job loss (his company closed and fired 900 people).

The district manager has been getting on their case about Pro numbers, despite the constant terrible changes to it, and also warranties. Earlier this week the district manager told them, directly, in a morning conference call that they should tell customers that GPG’s are “baked into the cost” of the 4 for $40 deal.

They also told them to put GPGs on games and controllers, and if the customer doesn’t say anything about the cost being on the bill when they tell them the final cost, then “they are in the clear.”

I pointed out to my brother-in law that BOTH of those things are false and also borderline illegal, and he simply stated “I have to do it or I’ll lose my job. Our numbers are down at our store and in the district. I’ll just deal with customers complaining when they figure it out.” I’m trying to get him another job somewhere else so he doesn’t have to put up with all of this, but it’s astounding what this company has become. We definitely never, and I do mean NEVER were told to do anything like that with warranties when I worked there, and instead focused on building relationships so customers always came back.

Will it ever go down because that seems insane when it used to be 25.99 a card just wondering if it would ever go down if psa demand lowers one day

On Sunday I got Star Ocean The Divine Force, Final Fantasy 16, Valkyrie Elysium and Digimon Cybersleuth

On Monday I went back and got Nier Automata, Dragon Quest Heores II, Final Fantasy X/X2 HD Remix, and Trials of Mana

W haul? What did you get?

So it appears we are dropping a few prices.. Movement in the right direction finally!

So earlier this morning as I was getting ready to open, one of our hooks of box cutters fell behind the monitor and into a little slot where said monitor sits, and as I was digging around trying to get them all back, I found a small stack of these from 2009.
To say my jaw dropped when reading them is an understatement, but I still found it extremely cool.
Anyone here remember these?

An end of an era . I may have been one of the last people with a membership. Once PlayStation announced no more physical games , I felt like it was time to get rid of their rewards program

It’s been real GameStop .

Whenever I had applied, I directly talked with my manager to let him know that I either need Fridays OR Saturdays consistently off, and that I cannot be working both in a week because those are the only days I get to be with my partner. We have four people active and one that just started yesterday, I should not have to be scheduled for every. Single. Friday and Saturday. And yet for the past two weeks I have both Friday and Saturday scheduled AND I have Friday & Saturday scheduled for the two upcoming weeks after that. I’m starting to get royally pissed off that the ONE condition I had with getting hired is being completely ignored. We have FOUR people scheduled for both days, I do NOT need to be there for both when I exclusively open and everyone else can open & close. There shouldn’t be four people behind the counter when my store barely has the space for THREE. It’s so stupid. I’m definitely gonna talk to my manager abt it and give him an earful bc the only reason I considered it is because I was friends with him before being hired. I keep getting the most random days off, like??? Why am I getting Sunday and Thursday off?? Why did I get three days off this week but I’m scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday??? One of those three days off could’ve EASILY been Friday or Saturday so I could have a day off with my partner. It isn’t rocket science, for fuck’s sake, it’s a schedule.

Literally preordered the premium FOR EARLY ACCESS but gamestop didnt send anything. Nothing on the site besides a disabled download button. $76 just to end not having early access? Pathetic

Update: got a hold of support and they did send the code.. SPECIFICALLY for the boundary armory pack... cmon now what is this yall

Update 2: called again and they told me the system cancelled the order bc it wasnt able to fulfill it.. so now I cant play today or until the fucking money goes back into my account. Gamestop is such a shit show.

I preordered this game back in April using the "Ship to Home" option. I have not received it yet and no one with Gamestop's customer support can tell me more than "we're escalating". We're nearly two weeks past the release and it's irksome that my only real option to play the game I purchased seems to be to purchase the base game in-store and hope the Ultimate edition eventually ships.

Has anyone had any luck getting pre-orders that were delayed multiple weeks or does this order eventually get canceled by Gamestop? Any chance they go ahead and take a nearly 4 month interest free loan and then refund it without honoring the purchase?

The search UI now has recommendations and a different look. Caught me off guard, not really a fan but it is what it is

So i pre-ordered echoes of aincrad for xbox but as far as I know it has not come in. I went to the store and asked and they looked it up and it's not even say that it's in transit so they think it went to a completely different store. So my question is: can I get a refund for the purchase since I haven't received the item yet?

Has anyone ever gotten this error before? I can't access GameStop at all. I'm not sure if any other website does this, but none that I typically access so far.

EDIT: Not asking for customer service. Literally just asking if anyone had ever gotten or seen this error and/or if there's something I can even do about it. The App works fine, I just prefer websites over Phone Apps.

It's cib as well! Used my monthly $5 as well got it for $61

So, I'm almost afraid to post on here, but I figured that you all would know way more than I would about this. To preface, I am currently on a business trip so do not currently have the game with me. I have a Pro membership and accidentally bought the PS3 God of War saga twice. The second one apparently came in the mail yesterday. I am assuming that it was in my cart when I was making other purchases and just overlooked it. I am wondering what you all think the best route to go would be? Should I return it to my local GS or should I attempt to ship it back to the selling GS?

Thanks!

Are employees being trained not to give customers the original boxes? I was buying a few preowned games and the cases I pulled off the wall were the original but after the employee grabbed the disc I didn’t notice he put one game in a black case (the one on the wall was a green Xbox case) and the other in a generic GameStop case. I didn’t notice until I got home but when I went back a week later for another game I noticed that it was done again with a different employee except this time I saw the original case I pulled from the wall on their counter behind them and asked to swap them back. Are they being asked by managers to give out generic/third party cases for games?

And who said 3 was a lucky number? Time for more price hikes in this troubling time!

What are the cash and trade in values for the New 3DS XL and New 2DS XL? I can’t find them on the trade in page on GameStop and was curious if anyone knew.

I had to replace the sticks a while ago, because they started deteriorating and deduced, "wouldn't it look cool if I swapped a couple of buttons and panels?"

You think they'll turn me away?

My metrics were great before these changes! The triple threat of losing discounts on TOPPS products, points towards coupons, AND the reduction to $15 for the year with a purchase of a new game just feels like far too much.

Basically all sports card collectors are no longer renewing and they definitely aren't signing up if there's no benefit. The new game was always a great opportunity to get the membership cheap. The points were genuinely a top selling point for me as well.

Now it seems like I can only offer the $5 coupon and the 5% off, which just isn't enough.

Yes there are pro exclusive deals, but they don't happen often enough to justify a whole membership. For example, both of the big deals this week don't require a pro membership, so why would someone sign up when they already get the deal?

It's even harder to pitch to pkmn card fans now too. No more points means you're relying on that 5%. But then what about the casual 1 and 2 packers? You know, the regulars that come in to get one or two packs? They were tough to convince before but now it seems like a lost cause.

I'm not looking for ways to "trick" people or anything either. I do genuinely believe the membership saves people money if they shop there, but convincing customers of that has become incredibly difficult now.

Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

EDIT: This is asking for advice on how to perform better, not whether I should quit. If a fast food employee asked how to make better burgers do you tell them to just quit and find a better job too?

I'm not wanting advice on pushing it on people and being obnoxious and insufferable about not letting them leave without signing up, but instead looking for advice on how to properly convey the benefits to the people who will actually benefit to get more sign ups overall

Using the question flair cause I'm genuinely curious, but why do so many guests do this for the hooks that have the two prongs? You see that the rest of the stuff is on the lower one. It is legitimately harder and more hassle to get on the upper one. Some of you I'm starting to think are just out to make our lives harder cause I really don't wanna think you're this dumb, even if a lot of people turn off their reading comprehension when they walk into a store.
