>>331481201
Ah, that seems stupid but believable.
YOU CAN'T OPEN A GAME AND STILL SELL IT AS NEW FUCKING GAMESTOP
who the fuck ever saids "that'll be ______ plus tip"
Like who actually straight up says to your face that you owe them a tip
>>331480723
What?
If you buy a new game, it'll still be in factory seal.
They only open up used games and shit like that.
>>331481529
Bad Chinese restaurants
>>331481529
Pizza delivery men do, in TV at least.
I haven't ordered pizza since i was achild.
>>331481821
They sometimes sell opened copies that they've played in the back or taken home to try as new.
I know because I once worked in a GAME
>>331481529
restaurant I worked at added a 15% gratuity to the bill automatically on parties >8
>>331481821
They always gut new games to put on display tho.
>>331480893
Tip exists so that there can be a government enforced minimum wage for an honest job
and a shittier wage for some half-assed faggot job that requires no skill or effort or education.
>>331482063
>>331482142
Depends.
I'll buy a new game from Gamestop if I know they still have extra copies which they display on the wall behind the desk.
Plus you can always ask them.
If it's an older, newer game then yeah maybe it'll be open, and they'll find the game and slap it in the case.
>>331480723
wow
so you got senran kagura "new" too?
i technically should be able to take it back since its still "new" and i opened nothing...
>>331481378
What if a game is opened out of the seal but never played?
Its still new, unless shrink wrap = unused disc to you
>>331482075
that is like standard at EVERY fucking restaurant.
>>331482221
>picnic in the rain
Reminds me of that picture where Penny took Vincent and Jas on a field trip in the middle of winter on a snowy day.
>>331482642
Really? I don't get out much. at least not in parties >1
Thanks to this I'm making sure to never tip waiters again but never tell them
>>331481529
The pizza guy from home alone.
>>331483261
I hope you don't go to the same restaurants often, because it take too long to get known as a non-tipper and therefore get slower/shitty service.

I made some good money, but I hate how certain tables act like they loved me and leave no tip.
Then I got other tables where they are straight up mean and grumpy to me and leave me with a huge-ass tip.
It's all about the turn over though.
The more tables I get, the more chance for more $$$
>>331482839
As someone who tips a minimum of 20%, fuck that idea that you HAVE to tip them, and fuck that image.
>>331482839
>Tell waitstaff beforehand whether or not you'll tip
Whether or not I tip is entirely dependent upon what I'm ordering and my experience dining. If I order an $8 burger and have one drink, sorry, I'm leaving a $1 tip. Not tipping upward of 15-20% on a $12 check.
>>331482839
I won't tell them i wont tip just so they spit and put theyr shit on my food i paid.
I'll tip them if they work as they are supposed to.
If you do good, Tip. If not, no Tip.
>>331483814
It's obviously propaganda from cheap restaurant owners.

"What is welfare"
>>331480893
The roaring 20's was a shit time to be alive, rich people would tip just to show off, the "showing off" part trickled down to poor people, and it became apparent to resturaunt and bar owners that their workers were literally being paid by customers to work, so they slashed wages and then mainstreamed tipping forever.
fucking god dammit
>>331482560
It's the Principle of the issue at hand, a principle that's worth jumping the counter and slitting the game advisor's throat.
>>331490565
you'd rather have people living off welfare instead of getting a job if they can? can you fucking imagine if even half of food service employees just decided to do that?
>>331490712
But wouldn't the great depression destroy that view forever?
Also it would have been awesome for both the money givers and the recievers to live at that time.
>>331480723
I had a fight with a fucking gamestop employee about that once, in a way was fun because I wanted to release some anger on that guy and the whole idea of selling a opened game for new is retarded.
>>331480723
do people actually tip game stop employees?
>>331482839
I always tip because I don't want spit in my food the next time I go to a restaurant.
>>331491228
No. Food delivery people and waiters are the only ones that really get tipped in America.
There's often like tip jars at places, but it's not expected for you to actually put anything in those.
>>331490987
correct me if I am wrong, but if you work 40 hours a week at 7.20 an hour you would make below the requirement of 15,000 to be qualified for Obamacare, so even if you have a full-time job, you can still get welfare.
Do people in America tip their teachers who teach them life skills?
Do they tip the road workers who fix up the road that makes it possible for them to get around every day?
Do they tip the fucking bus/train drivers?
If not, why the fuck should someone who brings a meal over really be tipped? Do Americans get to bypass tipping if they bring their own food over?
>>331485094
>you didn't ask her how
you failed the quest, start over
I promised myself I'd never buy anything from GameStop ever again after the guy bucked me into buying a $2 warranty on a used game, he didn't even give me a proper case, made me go to the shelfs and grab one from there. I tried three times to say no to the cash grab but he basically put onna desperate voice and pleaded until I said yes.
>mfw I get above minimum wage and $200 in tips on a bad night
>>331491493
You are correct, and it varies from state to state, but the anon I was responding to was definitely suggesting that people should just live off of welfare instead doing shitty jobs like food service or retail. In fact, generally to get welfare, you either need a job or to be seeking a job. I've known people on welfare that have had to constantly apply to jobs they'll never get to continue getting welfare.
>>331491498
Are you asking why we tip the people we do? Because it's basically a tax for the food industry to charge more for food. But that's obvious.
Are you asking why we have a food industry where consumers have to make up the wage difference by tipping? Fuck if I could tell you the reason.
>>331491498
Because all those people get at least 7.25 an hour.
>Americans complain about games being $60

>>331491867
correction >>331491493 and >>331490565
are the same guy.
And I was immplying from the previous post that even if they get a job, they are still elligable for welfare, which they are even if working full time. I do not condone living off welfare, I was just saying in order to help pay for food and rent in order to get "marketing skills" in order to receive a better paying job, requires a little help from government intervention, that way people can afford the job they want.

I run a kitchen, and since I basically saved this shitty restaurant I convinced the owner to split tips with the kitchen, and if a server is caught pocketing even a quater they're immediately fired. Add to that, kitchen staff gets minimum wage or more plus tips, waitstaff get $4 an hour.
Why are tips based off of the price of food anyway?
Logically the price of the food comes from how much it cost to purchase and cook it.
That does not affect how much work the person giving you the food does.
>>331482839
Some states don't allow employers to do this, so tipping in these states is pointless.

I run a food cart, with no employees. I sell hotdogs for $1 each. They're boiled pork/beef franks and steamed buns. I've got onions, 3 different mustards and sauerkraut which I will throw on your dog for free.There is no ketchup or relish in my cart, and if you question this decision I refuse to serve you.
Do you tip me for this dollar dog?
>>331495659
No. I'll buy it and if it's good, you'll get a tip as a return costumer.
Maybe.
>>331495659
No, dirty street vendors don't get tips. I thought that was common knowledge

>>331495659

That sort of shit is only done by disgusting minorities
>>331496245
Ketchup and relish are incorrect condiments. You are banned.
Tipping is such a foreign idea to Australians, because we actually pay our workers correctly.
>>331496245
Think it's the stigma that ketchup is too kiddish? I've been to a few joints where requesting ketchup is a major faux pas. A bit goofy, but understandable at a certain level.
>>331491054
It wouldn't, because employers can continue not to pay their employees at no detriment to themselves.
>>331493246
I'd be okay with this.
>>331496393
No seriously, what is wrong with them other than being popular?
I like onions and meat sauces myself.
Did you know gamestop has an employee check out games policy for the employees and that includes new games?
>>331482839
this image is so fucking stupid. You're just a cheap piece of shit regardless of whether you refuse up front or after. Even if you morally oppose tipping, not tipping won't magically earn the servers more money. If you truly care for their mistreatment, you'd be protesting or writing your senator, not telling the people you claim to be doing this for to fuck off.
"Here's your game bud, that'll only be $89.99 plus tip eh!"
But you fucking idiots forget
China is taking our jobs. We need even lower wages. To compete.
So the tip system is good. The employer barely has to pay anything, and the cost is transferred to the customer. It's genius.
If anything, more jobs show work in this manner.
It'll drive down costs, and everyone will be happy.
>>331495659
I would buy a dog from you, and put ketchup and relish on it from condiment packets, flip you the bird, and walk away.
Deal with it fag.to be honest though I'd probably get one, and if it was good tell my friends and come back and get a bunch.

you won't qualify for welfare unless you fit into a certain criteria, and usually WORKING takes you out of a lot of them, or negates it. I got a whopping $100/mo raise and my benefits are lowered by $150/mo to compensate for my new income.

I really want to be trolling. I really want to say this never happened. But it did. And apparently it's a routine thing. Apparently all the games they use for display are considered "new" and rung up as such.
>>331497642
Just buy games from Walmart.
>>331497642

>>331497642
>the games in the drawer have never been played

Are you in Sun Valley/Van Nuys my man? A dog with onions and mustard sounds good.

Jewstop, Inc.
>>331498310

>eBay has stricter standards on what it considers new and used than gamestop does
Wew lad.
>>331498613
Actually they would side with that position. Notice the word "condition" being used? If you decide to sell something at your store and allow your customers to rough it up to poor condition, then try to sell it as brand-fucking-new, that's totally underhanded. Considering when you purchase a game the package and inserts are part of the deal, the whole item's condition matters.
"Oh it's never actually been owned a person so it's still new!"
Get the fuck out of here.
>>331492345

Did you know that of you makes less than minimum wage for the hours you worked after tips, the place you work at is legally obligated to cover the rest, and if they don't you can get them in trouble for it?

take it to court and lose, then, fuckhead
There are very few examples where new has a legal standard. Shit like cars with rebuilt titles. Video games don't, and if you are trying to argue that it is an unfair misrepresentation, you'd lose too because 1) it IS new, and more importantly, 2) you can see very much what you are purchasing before you complete the transaction.
It's bullshit business practice, but it's not illegal or even immoral. they aren't tricking you, you have the right to decline the purchase.
>>331482839
I fucking hate that people expect it in Bongistan. You're literally being paid the same minimum wage as every other pleb you don't deserve a fucking tip unless you excel to the point that I think you deserve more money.
>>331499459
kek
One thing that kind of gets left out in these threads is that in some places there is no way in fuck an employer would every pay an employee what they make in tips.
I am a dealer in a casino. I make about 25$ an hour and the casino pays me 5.25$ an hour. There is no way in fuck a casino would pay me 25$ an hour to do this shit. Management makes less than i do. if they went to a base wage with no tips id just go get a real job and 99% of the dealers would be fresh off the boat asians with the remaining 1% being a dumb wetback for diversity. The same goes for any upscale restaurant.
There are plenty of people who dont tip and i dont give a shit. There are enough that do that i make a good living.

>>331484574
So? Plenty of other people have similar paychecks. And I doubt waiter is the worst paying job. It's a show-off thing, dont deny it. You dont tip the supermarket lady, and I bet her wage is not a whole lot different

Circlejerk with the other waiters and waitresses about which people they should give shit service to because they didn't leave their credit card as tip last time they ate at the restaurant
Went to GameStop yesterday and tried to buy SW4E brand new. Saw the sales associate open up a case to put the disc in and just told him to forget it.
It seems like they're always trying to sell their used shit first for that max profit to their business. How the fuck do they get away with it
>>331500265
Stand your ground also only works if they put they hands on you first. So irregardless, GameStop boy was in the wrong to touch me. Credit cards can be replaced, collar bones can't.
>>331491814
>$200 in tips
not unless you're touching dicks
I remember a while back Joe's crab shack got rid of tips and started paying $15/hour. Everybody quit because they make way more than that with tips, so a small portion of people not tipping isn't a fucking big deal.
>>331495087

Did you know if you live in a work-at will state like a lot of us do, they can fire you for any reason, including no reason at all?
If you start filing for this regularly, they can and will fire you. Even in non work at will states, they can just make up any reason ("you weren't a good fit", etc) and unless somehow you have proof otherwise, there isn't anything you can do about it.
Waiters are totally and easily replaceable, the average restaurant owner has no reason not to do so.
>>331481378
oh we do more then just that nowadays. Gamestop will let us throw away the damn packaging of collectors editions!!
It's true, we'll keep the game and it's contents, but the box it came in? Trashed.
I've asked, I've even asked if thats legal. Yup. its all fair.
And yet people keep shopping at Gamestop.
I stopped going to gamestop after buying MH3U when it just came out, and they sold me a copy without the club nintendo points. Fuck out of here with that bullshit.

Guess who hasn't been back in over 5 years? I'd really hope that Amazon and GCU competing with each other like they are might eventually drive this shit company out of business, but I'm sure the dude bros and kids will never stop going to the actual "game" store.

Probably over pours at a popular night bar. That shit will catch up to them. I had a girl who overpoured for tips. Canned her ass and took her to civil court for $1,500 in damages. More likely is Anon is probably a QT who works in one of those topless bars in Vegas.

Former GameStop employee here. We couldn't sell those display copies as used, but we could knock some money off of the price if it doesn't include inserts and the box isn't in very good condition, only if the customer asked. We didn't sell those copies either unless we had no other new copies. That's just a dumb move. We'd have to get another new copy to use as a display copy then. For most customers they don't really care. They should though, in my opinion.
GameStop makes the majority of its money off of used game sales and preorders so we didn't particularly care about customers coming in asking for new games directly, which is why we never had a huge stock of them unlike major retailers like WalMart and Best Buy.
>people honestly think someone is going to spit in their food
You're pathetic life is not worth a lawsuit to them. They are not going to spit in your food just for you to report it, close down the restaurant, and sue the shit out of everyone there. You're not that big of a deal.
At most, they're just going to laugh at you in the back for literally their entire "career" there.

It's not that much, that is about what waiters make at family style restaurants on a weekend night.
So working at nicer places will probably pull that much on regular weekdays.

>>331481529
I had a pizza delivery guy mention that I could tip if I wanted to once. Never had anyone outright demand it like that, though.
>>331485552
how do you get into being a butcher anyhow?
did you know someone? some how have previous experience at a different cutlery or grew up on a farm ad had to slaughter your own stock?
>>331501321
Probably lack of options. I go to Best Buy, but if I didn't have them, I'd have no other options than a very slow Wal-Mart that really doesn't have shit on launch day unless it's COD or FIFA and doesn't get any sort of niche shit at all.

>>331490163
run food, clean tables, memorize and recite menus, convey your off-the-menu order to the kitchen without being shit on by them, skip their breaks so you can get your food in decent time, multitask without stopping for any time whatsoever.
I'm not saying I make far more than I should as a server, but this job sucks cock, and I've had a nice array of jobs ranging from manual labor to computer repair to retail. Serving just pays more, but it's far more stressful.
>>331501430
No one, and I hate how these threads spin off into arguing about tipping instead of discussing GameStop's business practices because of it.
Threadly reminder that people who don't pick up their own pizza and complain about deciding wether to tip the delivery guy are literally the worst pieces of shit in the world.
Seriously go pick up your pizza. It's always cheaper to pick up since every pizza place has carry out specials.
>>331501747
A general rule of thumb is that if you don't have enough money to tip a pizza guy or a waiter, then you shouldn't be eating at those places anyway.
>>331501747
Not to mention, it's always hot and fresh and if anything's wrong with the order, you can deal with it yourself right then and there.
>>331501823

>>331501524
I've told people they could tip, but it's always an awkward exchange because I really don't want to make it sound like I'm demanding or begging. If they tip, they tip. It's money on top of my wage, not my only source of income.
That being said, I still get booty blasted on shit tips after putting up with really shitty customers.

>>331501310
you aren't purchasing just the food, you are being provided a service as well, and the unspoken agreement in this society, that you have full knowledge of, is that in addition to paying for the consumable goods, you pay the servers as well. This is known, far and wide, and don't even pretend to claim ignorance. However, you decide to forgo the customary compensation of the service provider, arguing that what you left for the product also covers the service, when you know full well it does not.
There's where you were an asshole
>>331491712
You fucking beta lol
>>331501823
>>331501889
>>331501747
I was a delivery guy for a restaurant and I still can't fathom why people order food to be delivered if they have a car. It was a small city with very easy commuting/little traffic. Sometimes the food would sit in my car for upwards of 30 minutes because they ordered juuuust after someone else.
Fucking pick up your food, get an estimate on when it will be ready, and get there like, 3 minutes before that. You'll get to your own house faster with it and it will be much more fresh. And you won't have to feel like a piece of shit for tipping little or none.
>>331498613
>that's not even remotely true and even the most lax of civil courts wouldn't side with you

>>331501294
That makes sense. I later went to another GameStop and they told me they only had 2 copies that they already sold.
I don't understand how they have such limited stock of new games but can afford to sell geek shit like Funko figures and cheap t-shirts.

I never took that as "you owe me a tip" but just to help idiots who tip and are bad at math. But then, I do tip so I guess my perspective is skewed.

>>331502402
God, my roommate used to get pizza delivered from up the street, like less than a 5 minute walk to the place.
>>331495659
Whether you'd get a tip would depend on the service (going by how you react to requests for a wider variety of condiments, it's unlikely) but I'd definitely buy one of your hot dogs. Those sound good.
>>331502284
because McDonald's DOES compensate their workers with the minimum wage, and more or less the fast food industry at large. Furthermore, the way they operate is with minimal service, they are very strictly cashiers, not waiters, and thus have not provided enough service to oblige one to tip by social customs

Yeah, you make and hand me the food. Which is what I fucking pay for. The food. You are a vehicle to complete the transaction, not a fucking value of the equation.

Forced there by the greedy corporate jews. Also "JUST BECAUSE" isn't a reason.
>However, you decide to forgo the customary compensation of the service provider
That's not my fucking problem. Your EMPLOYER gives you that
>arguing that what you left for the product also covers the service, when you know full well it does not.
Take it up with your boss fuckface. I'm not in charge of your wage.
I pay for the product

Holy fuck, man. I'm lucky I have never had such a bad experience with BrickStop, but I still shop there so I guess it'll happen to me soon.
I just like the convenience of driving down quickly to pick up a new game.

If your tips don't at least reach minimum wage, your employer is legally required to pay you minimum wage. But that would require some lazy shithead waiter to do some bookkeeping and that ain't gonna happen so let's whine about it.

first time i ever bought a "new" game from gamestop was the last time i went there. he tells me they take all the new games out of the cases for whatever reason and I went through with it anyway, but it was a 3ds game and had another persons fucking save file on it. fucking liars

I feel like the only person who has good people who know their shit about video games behind the counter at Gamestop. Yes, Gamestop has shitty policies/trade values, focuses more on making 2/3 of the store a poor man's Hot Topic, and will most likely go out of business within several years due to the increasing worthlessness of physical game discs, but god damn it, it's the only place you can walk into that sells obscure weebshit
