I've never worked at one, but the cringiest thing I've seen at a Gamestop was when I was in line to buy something. There's a chick picking up some game she pre-ordered and another dude in front of me who starts chatting her up and takes several minutes to comprehend that she actually plays video games and isn't just buying it for her boyfriend or something. As soon as he realizes that, he starts hitting on her in that awkwardly overbearing kind of way.
Funny but cringe-worthy at the same time.

The Game store I work at also buys/sells phones and movies, and people get retardedly ass blasted that they can only get 50 cents for their dvd with a coffee stain on the cover, not to mention we only sell DVDs for 5 bucks a piece and they're buy one get one free. And let's not forget the people you expect to get what they paid for a phone when they try and sell it.

>>342182183
The worst that can happen is you'll get kicked out of the store, which didn't happen because I didn't do it in front of the idiot employee.
I've heard surprisingly few really stupid questions, at least that stick out in my mind.
Usually get ones like
>Does [Last Gen system] play [This gen system] games?
>What's the difference between X Product and Y Product? [Proceed to tell them all the differences between them] Yeah but what's the difference?
>>342181589

The only thing I remember specifically was that she was getting Shadows of the Damned, which I thought was weird since it was a few years old and kind of niche.
What was cringey about was that it genuinely took him several minutes to understand that she played games. Like he had to ask her several times who she was buying the game for and when he finally worked it out he went from being confused to excitedly hitting on her immediately, no in between at all.
>>342180498

The only negative review I have on my eBay profile is from some dude I sold GTAV to. His reasons still baffle me (this was after I had played it just fine).
>>342182793
Oh I goddamn hate those situations.
Where the customer is blatantly taking advantage of management being complete pusses about never so much as daring to tell the customer "No", even when its entirely in the store's right as an actual policy.
Only makes it worse when I tell them to pretty much fuck off, then they ask for a manager, and said manager is only too eager to give them exactly what they want like they're a bratty child. So not only am I "the bad guy" but I have to give these little shits what they wanted.

Other than that the most notable moments are when people are desperately confused that their PS2 isnt considered an antique and i dont want to give them $200 for it. That and the kids who have watched some youtube videos and come in asking me how much it is for a SNES and this game they heard of called "Earth - Bound". They are desperately confused when i refer them to our case of expensive stuff with a complete earthbound box set priced at $750. I always love the look on their faces as i explain its one of the most famous and collectible games out there.

The people who work at my local Gamestop are a bunch of fat bald 30-something year olds who have nothing going for them and STILL are too normie to know of weeb shit like Senran so I don't give a single fuck about their opinion. I wouldn't think so poorly of them if they didn't insist on trying to make small talk with me about the games that I'm purchasing as they ring me up when they don't even know the first thing about the games themselves.
It's not like they're asking about the games, they're trying to pass it off like they are intimately familiar with them so I respond in kind and they end up not actually knowing anything about them at all and it makes the whole experience awkward and stupid.
>>342183438
In the US you can return any used game to gamestop within a week as well. So you could play through used shit and return it to different gamestops. If you do it too many times at the same one within a short period I'm pretty sure they won't let you anymore.

Situations like this during Christmas time always make me feel bad. Like they come in all ready to get little Timmy exactly what he wants for Christmas then they look in the case and realize exactly how much all these games will cost and end up only being able to get some older game that's $40 at most.
I still remember an older lady one year who came in, picked out either the old 3DS model or a 2DS and some cheap game, I asked her about it for the sake of smalltalk. Turned out she was buying it for her neighbor's kid whose 3DS got stolen.
That's a nice memory.

Nigga please. I don't need those losers trying to talk to me about character balance and mechanics in Guilty Gear when they don't even know the roster. When you look like that and work a dead end job at Gamestop at their age I expect you to at least know a little bit about video games other than the standard AAA crap or at least have the sense to not act like a know-it-all every single time I buy some shit.

True, but the DS cartridge has pink nail gloss all over the back which was a clear indication that the child had messed with the cartridge.
Though it sounds like a pain to have to go back to the store because of the scratch. Reminds me when my brother bought the first Assassin's Creed for 360 online, only for a tiny scratch to stop it from reading.

After reading up on it, I found out that walmart actually take returns and sell them as new. Some people take advantage of this by shrink wrapping the game back up. They cant open it, so they really cant check and see if its legit.

Hey quick question from someone who just got into working in retail

Those are the times I generally feel the worst for customers, when something is wrong with something they bought and for one reason or another I'm powerless to actually do anything for them.
>>342184912
Its always nice when you can help a parent figure out something to get when they had come in without a single clue as to what they're doing or even looking for. They're always extra grateful and thankful for it too which is nice.
Occasionally I get customers who try to tip me, I have to tell em I can't take tips but that I appreciate the thought quite a lot. They're always so sad about it afterwards.
>>342185324
Yeah we've had that happen a couple times at my Shitmart. Customer Service doesn't bother to look close at them and then they come back to us. Since most of the people we have in the department know videogames we can tell "Hey something is fucky here", but there are still some that slip by.

my shop once took in an xbox for repair and as soon as the case was seperated a ridiculous amount of roaches scattered everywhere. The owners of the building didnt want to fumigate just for one suite and since they are in their late 80's we couldnt get across the idea that we could get fumigators do do just our room. So in the end it took months of roach traps and being extremely embarrassed when a customer would see a stray roach. Bad times man

I feel bad for people working at gamestop, they're usually pretty friendly people too, you talk to them about games and shit while you're there.
I'm not sure if they have a reason to be super friendly since I've never worked at one, but I've seen kids get a little too friendly with the employees. Like I go and see kids just talking to them, like it's a fucking day care.
There was one time I spent forever waiting to get checked out because this special needs kid kept calling, apparently he calls just to talk and the employee couldn't get him to stop.
>>342186526
A woman
>>342185706
Not this shit again
>>342181352
>work at a Costa in a Trainstation
"Do you sell Coffee here?"
"I'll have a Rum and Coke please"
"Do you sell Chips?" "Do you mean crisps?" "No chips out of a deep fat fryer" *Look around at the setting* "No we don't"
Have to be the top 3 stupid things I've heard in my 2 years of working there.
>>342186682
Are you a man or a woman?
>>342185701
I just worked seasonal at toys r us.
>>342182729
work for geek squad in bestbuy. i literally sit on my ass half the day. any issues people have with their computers are usually just viruses or the computer is just generally fucked or not worth repairing. 90% of the time we just restore their computer and make it seem like we did fucking brain surgery when they pick it up. people pay $150+ dollars for this work mind you.
>>342186761
A man
I saved a guy from buying Evolve once.
>>342186813
Cool
>>342186856
Was this around launch or a while after?
Either way that's funny
>>342186665
>this special needs kid kept calling, apparently he calls just to talk and the employee couldn't get him to stop
That's because it's against Gametop's policy to turn down their primary audience
>>342182961
What's your opinion on the dude that drowned in the acid lake or something awhile back. Is that shit common?
>>342186830
Did you at least try?
>>342185701
My gamestore has a regular boardgame night that's technically open but generally attended mostly by freinds of the owners who are a couple of nerdy but reletively normal guys in their early 30's. A cousin of mine was a regular at and i started going myself. Im pretty sure getting to know the people doing the interviewing personally and letting them see me in social situations where i demonstrated being a non-sperg helped a bit.
But for some more general advice, show your knowledge and your sociability simultaneously. There are plenty of super-nerds out there that can list detailed shit about tons of games off the top of their heads but smell like shit, and plenty of normal joes who are very good socially but know nothing about gaming and just need a job. You need to be a mix of both.

I think.
>>342186815
h-how much do you have to know about computers to work in geek squad? I'm capable of googling problems, and then following directions.
>>342186815
Are you separate from the main staff?
I knew a guy who worked for Best Buy and he would complain about needing to upsell poor people while you guys were just installing antivirus software or something
>>342182961
Do you know anything about the super volcano?
>pre order game
>go to pick it up
>oh this isn't the version I pre ordered, this is the standard edition.
>sorry we ran out of limited editions
>but I pre ordered it?
>well we don't have it
>But I payed-
>she raises her voice and says, LOOKS DO YOU WANT THE GAME? ITS THE SAME THING!
>Everyone at the store looks at me
>yeah I guess...
>she charges me for the special edition when all I have is the standard
>be a little bitch and don't say anything so she won't make another scene again and leave.
That was my last pre order, learned my lesson at a young age even if it was humiliating.
>>342187037
Aren't you like, not supposed to have sex with your coworkers, especially your boss?
>>342187116
Yeah I get how balance can be important for that kind of a job.
I'll keep that in mind if I'm ever looking to get hired at on of the local stores
>>342184624
>get Oblivion used
>try to play it but it's unplayable due to the scratches
>go back to Gamestation
>dude behind the counter says "Yeah I remember you I'll swap the disc"
>Oblivion was shit
>>342187037
Yeah I dunno what happened
>>342187285
both of you are human garbage
>>342185346
What else has he purchased? I'm curious now.
>>342185458
>>guy comes in saying he wants a "hack and slash" in those words
I would have recommended him Diablo 2
>>342187285
What a cu-
>young age
fucking yuck
>>342187289
I think that's more of suggestion, rather than a written rule.
>>342181328
Got my s6 screen replaced for 205$ Canadian$$$ at some local middle eastern cellphone repair store and they threw in a case. About a month later I took the case off and seen the 485$ pricell tag on my phone. Those mother fucker gave me a completely different phone, same model of s6 tho... what should I do?
OP here again:
>guy comes in with a ps3
>remember the guy because he bought the ps3 from us just days ago
>me: "Welcome back. Was there something wrong with the system?"
>"No no. It works perfectly fine, I just decided I don't really want it and I'm just here to get my money back."
>me: "That's not how it works, sir. If there was something wrong with it I could get you a replacement but you can't return it just because you don't want it anymore."
>"But I just bought it! You're telling I can't get my money back even though I just bought it?!"
>me: "No sir, that isn't how it works. If there was something wrong with the system I could see about getting you a refund, but not because you don't want it."
>"W-well then there was something wrong with it!"
>me: "Yeah, no. You literally just told me it works fine."
>mfw he threatens to call the cops because we won't refund him
>>342183731
long A sound
>>342187285
You're more reserved than me anon, I would have gone off, I don't take that shit lightly.
>>342187285
I preordered Fatal Frame 5 and they had run out of copies, so the clerk at FUCKING GAMESTOP gave me his instead
I felt kinda bad, but at the same time I preordered the game and they fucked up.
>>342187285
Man, that's the moment when you stand up to that dumb ass cashier and say you want what you fucking paid for
>>342187285
ffs anon you should have at least gotten a partial refund
>go to game (UK)
>there is a literal retarded person in a wheelchair at the front of the line
>he's trying to buy the just-released ME2, the same thing i came in for (yeah yeah, don't laugh)
>by the time i reach the back of the line with ME2, meals-on-wheels has paid and is about to leave
>but then he notices i'm holding the same game as him
>he says something that sounds like "muh boh duh guh gog?"
>i say "what?"
>he immediately lunges for me and takes my copy of ME2
>throws both copies into his rucksack, which also has scrunched-up newspapers and an extra large water bottle in it
>tries to leave, gets stopped by shop staff
>what follows is a slanging match between two scared shitless teenage cashiers and a legless neckbeard who sounds like he's crying in klingon
>i freewheel it outta there and come back an hour later, buying ME2 without incident
And that's why I don't go shopping anymore.
>>342187289
In America, if my diet of shitty sitcoms as a kid taught me anything
>>342187161
when i started i knew maybe only sightly more than the average jerk off. they teach you everything you need to know to do your job. you just sort of learn how to tackle issues as you go. we end up just googling fixes for issues half the time.
>>342187163
we are separate, but they will still want you to hit a quota in sales for the month, which isnt hard. just sell services from the geek squad and occasionally walk on the floor and sell some entitled 12 year old the most expensive mac book we have in stock. its really not hard. we only do software installation, virus removal, os installations, and the occasional installation of basic parts (HDD, RAM, GPU, etc.).
>>342187617
As somebody who doesn't work in retail, could you please explain why you couldn't give him a refund? Was it company policy or something?
>>342187617
A lot of countries actually guarantee that option under consumer law
>>342187695
>ffs anon you should have at least gotten a partial refund
this
fucking hell
>>342187519
First off how the shit did you not notice when everything was different on the phone the first time you turned it on?
>>342187434
He purchased the previous and new Miku games, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games, Cathorine, Sengan Kagura games, Valkariya Chronicles, Bravely Default/Second, Persona 3 and 4, Yukaza 5 and a couple other games I couldn't remember. He also preordered the new Miku, Persona 5 and Yukaza 0. (He quite likes SEGA and Nintendo)
>>342185315
lol similar thing happened to me a few months back
>go to local used game store
>pick up FFX
>take it to counter
>"Ah, yes, final fantasy ecks, a classic"
>h-haha y-yeah
>ffx/x-2 remaster announced on steam a week later
>>342187519
be glad you got a working phone back for only $200 CAD, a galaxy S6 no less
>>342187285
I'd demand a refund,but if you were like ten at the time I understand.
That fucking sucks if you pay like $20+ extra for a normal-ass game
I walked into gamestop and pre ordered the wind waker special edition, the one with the ganon figure.
The guy at the register was mexican, or some kind of spanish I don't know, and didn't understand apparently. I come to pick it up when it's released and he fucking pre ordered the Link figma instead? I was pretty pissed but I felt that maybe I should have read the receipt, but they were both the same price.
So I just took it and left. I'm still pretty pissed off about it though but there wasn't anything I could really do.
>>342187705
How the fuck are you even supposed to respond to a situation like this? Jesus.
>>342187617
I thought there was some kind of grace period of when you can return it. Thus the receipt.
>>342187501At least I still have her nudes
>>342187705
He probably thought you stole it from him by working your devil magics.
>>342185315
>>342187939
When I went to gamestop to buy Dangan Ronpa 2 the guy at the counter kept asking me to repeat myself because he thought I was making the name up
>>342187705
pasta, but funny nonetheless
>>342188113
Nice.
>>342187705
I never had to experience disabled people giving me trouble, but I have had super Christians trying to force their religion amongst people in the game stores. This one woman was shouting about how we were all committing sins, and people just told her to walk on.
>>342187617
I don't understand, where do you work?
Even at Walmart people have 2 weeks to return consoles regardless of why they want to return it.
>>342182204
hello fellow vintage stock employee
>>342188113
imgur album when
>>342182961
>can you turn on ol faithful for my kids?
NO BUT I CAN THROW 'EM IN THERE FOR YOU
>>342187825
Sorry. Completely forgot to mention that the company policy is to not give refunds unless there was something wrong with the system. And that this was explained to the man very clearly before and after the purchase was finalized.
>>342187818
>its really not hard. we only do software installation, virus removal, os installations, and the occasional installation of basic parts (HDD, RAM, GPU, etc.).
That just sounds like shit i can do myself, you mean to tell me I can get paid for little shit like that?
I mean I was always under the impression Geek Squad were these super smart people you only went to when you really really needed some help with some shit.
>>342188161
I had the clerks spend literally 30 minutes trying to find Soul Hackers on their system
Turns out it was under Devil Soul or some shit
>>342179847
Funny thing, the store clerk I bought mine from said I picked up the last WiiU they had and would have for a while.
>Have considered quitting my shitty grocery storr job and pick something up at gamestop
>Hear all these stories
>Realize I'll probably want to just quit the hobby all together if I had to deal with niggers and brazilians all day along with retards buying shit games and saying how hyped the are for X shit game from EA/Actijew along with a bunch of autistic spergs.
>>342182961
Explain ol faithful to awhiteafrican
>>342187901
Ah, to discover the wonderful realm of big anime eyes again.
I'm almost jealous.
>>342188384
What rock have you been living under? Shit like Geek Squad was invented by the assholes like us who got screwed doing I.T. work for their families during the holidays for free, and decided to jew everyone.
>Go to fucking Gamestop looking for Nier and/or Catherine
>Someone with a motorcycle helmet in his hand approaches me
>Asks me to buy him Deus Ex because he is not old enough (?)
>Hands me the money and the game
>Decide to go for it and buy it
>As soon as he receives the game he sprints out of the store
>Completely forgot about Nier/Catherine
Fucking gamestop
>>342188417
In their defense most SMT games have really similar titles.
Like when I went to buy the first Devil Survivor they kept ringing up Raidou because they thought I was saying "Devil Summoner"
>>342183731
It's-a MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMME,
>>342182204
my store does all of those things too, and i cant count the number of people whose day i ruined when i told them we dont buy printers or CD's. So many damn people think shit like that is worth tons of money for some ungodly reason, and then they jsut give me a confused look when i tell them to try ebay or craigslist.
I've worked at a used movie/video game store for over a year now. I'll try and write out some goodins
>Yall buy consoles?
Yes
>Mines broked
We don't buy broken ones sir
>*smacks lips* HOLLL UP, WHY U SAYN IT BROKE
You just told me
>MAN FUCK DIS SHIT
>"Thanks for calling xxxxx, this is Ryan how can I help you?"
Umm my husband can't beat level 3 on this game wat do we do :((

>>342188736
Don't you remember his famous catchphrase? It was on his famous egg cups that every kid in the 80s and 90s had!
>>342188676
shoot, for the longest time the answer i've been looking for was right under me the whole time. In my defense, I never once needed help from geek squad, so I came to the conclusion they were only there for something that cant be found out through simple googling.
>Go to Best Buy to buy a Vita

>>342187894
I keep everything stock on my phones. My pictures and sim card were obviously swapped over. My old phone had my name engraved in the top with my engraving tool. This one does not.
>>342188808
I work at a music venue and old black people are the absolute hardest customers.
They get pissed off when you tell them to follow procedure told to them when they buy their tickets
ex.don't bring glass, no smoking, no re-entry
and you fucking never do anyone any favors because if they see you give anyone any leeway they expect the same treatment. That might not sound unreasonable but I've had people get pissed because I won't let them into employee parking after they see an employee drive in.
I don't fucking know. I always say that older Black people each expect to be the one single person who gets special treatment
>go into Gamestation in the town
>going to get new guitar hero or some shit like that

Call center jobs are literally impossible not to land, because the turnover rate is so high.
>>342188998
The fuck? Not really related to the thread but you're a cuck. Honestly what the fuck? I have 4 years with all the credits done and its tricky.
>>342185315
Reminds me of this.
Tycho had to apologize after this, because it turns out the X WASN'T a Roman numeral.
>Jojo ASB just came out

Should I continue?
>>342182204
Yes
>>342188513
Honestly I don't think working at gamestop would be that bad if they didn't make you allegedly push for the membership card/game insurance quotes thing
>>342189218
I never quite understood why there was a playboy video game in the first place. Who asked for it to be made?

I work at a higher-end one so the people aren't usually bad and the pay is alright.
I assume it sucks if you're in a less-than-affluent area though

So does anyone know of any last resort ps1 disc cleaning tactics? Even the old toothpaste method didn't work.
>>342185324
Fuck man, I remember that happening when I worked there. What game was it again? The was literally a recall because the manufacturer sent out half the copies with blank CD-Rs.
Here in Brasil always have that person that believes Japan already has Playstation 5 because they are very advanced in tech.
