My other local game store just has people playing smash all the time. They must make little money and not need any workers. I need a job.

They wouldn't hire me. They always decide to hire a girl (yes always a girl) each job fair that one of the current employees always knows. During the job fairs, I have to compete with around 400+ other people to try and get a job at one of the two Gamestops.

Grocery store bakeries are pretty much the only bakeries here in the midwest. I don't know where you're from, but it would be hard for someone to make a living as a baker when cheap and plentiful sliced bread exists, and every house has an oven to make all the pies and cakes they want.

Worked in GameStop for a while. Got offered an assistant manager position. I quit soon after.

The amount of autism I dealt with on a daily basis is something no human should ever have to experience. I am surprised I even still like vidya.

Don't ever work at a game store if you legitimately enjoy vidya as a hobby.

Also for Christ sake you fucking autismos, your local GameStop employee that you're "friends with" doesn't actually value the 30 minute dissertation you give him on whatever autism you indulge in every time you see him.

you can live on $900 a month easy.

$400 rent if you don't mind living in the ghetto with roommates.

You can get about $180 in food stamps a month, so you only have to spend $120 a month on food.

That leaves $380 for miscellaneous expenses, like phone, car, internet, electricity.

Quite doable. Of course, if anything ever goes wrong you will end up in debt.

I'm surprised more people working in retail don't just drive semi-trucks for a few years, save up 50k and then just buy a cheap house.

>downright suicide since that's the kind of pay you get with full time hours

If you can't get a job that pays for basic living, then you have to resort to more than one job. That's life and plenty of people in the US unfortunately have to do so in order to live, granted many people in the US also live above their means. Min. wage is still piss low either way.

You'd be better off going to work at an assembly line factory and getting paid at least $10+ with $15+ for an over-production or overtime. And depending on the factory that could be doubled or tripled.

I used to work at Wal-Mart on IMS overnight, one of the worst jobs you can possibly imagine, especially with a pill popping boss who had been working there since he was 16 and was only just a manager in some run down hick town. You don't want to be that guy Anon, get out while you can.

We don't stock those anymore where i work. But when they did the pleb workers thought of them as cheapskates and i thought of them as smart consumers waiting until the dust has settled to buy the creme of the crop for dirt cheap, i do the same.

I would imagine most places that still sell them now though charge exorbitant prices though, so maybe not so smart in this day and age.

Yeah it was bad. Some days one guy would come in. He was maybe 24-25 still living with his mom (she always drove him up) always wearing a Loki hoodie with obnoxiously large plush horns and he would just stare at the women trying to shop. Asked him to leave on several occasions.

Another guy once leaned against the counter and tried convincing me to play final fantasy because when he asked if I liked those games a I said "no they're not really my thing man, I am more of a sci-fi guy" (bad mistake). After about 30 minutes (not exaggerating) I had to ask him to let me finish putting stickers on the new shipments just to get him to fuck off.

Personal favorite was the family that looked like the people from point lookout (two 30 year old with their mom looked inbred as fuck) brought in a chewed up ps4 with controller that looked like it went through a fucking garbage disposal and wouldn't leave because we didn't cover that damage. The fucking thing was still wet ffs

I literally could write a book of the shit that happened while I worked there.

being socially awkward is absolutely no obstacle in working sales, especially retail. you quickly learn to just treat it as a job and separate the two. unless you're actually paid by commission in which case you are fucked because you need to socialize with your clients to hook them. if you're just behind a counter on hourly wage you really don't give a fuck.

I work IT now for a law firm. It's been pretty easy work, for the most part. I spend a good chunk of my day just playing games, which the partners have no problems with: It's easier to pay me to not work and be on hand in case of issues, and they don't have to worry about an outside contractor seeing privileged documents.
