So I went into our GameStop to drop off my application and the convo went sort’ve like this:


Me: Hey, I just wanted to submit an application in case there were any jobs available.
Guy: How much work experience do you have? [Hasn't even taken the app yet.]
Me: Uh, I volunteered at the local library for a few summers.
Guy: You play videogames?
Me: Casually, yeah.
Guy: Know how to work a computer?
Me: Ayup.
Guy: 18?
Me: 19.
Guy: You’re hired.


Winner?

Congrats, hope it works out for ya.

Welcome to retail.

In six weeks you'll wonder why you made such a daft decision. Trust me, you will.

Retail sucks balls.
Still when I used to look for work I'd have killed for this ease.

I just neeeeed the money. I'm hoping that overshadows everything else. Especially 'cause my future co-worker is a creeper, methinks.

I think I just got lucky that it was that guy's hours and not the scary sheman that's usually in. Otherwise finding jobs are pretty hard in my City.

I work for a shoe company...

2 application forms, 3 interviews and 4 trial days later, I got the job (and beat some older more experienced applicants too boot).

The two Gamestop where I live rarely hire anyone, and they get at least 5 applications a day. However, having seen some of the customers and talking with people who work there, I'll take my job over Gamestop any day. And let me just say that I've already dealt with customers who make me want to pull hair out at my own job.

Isn't Gamestop like, one of the worst companies to be employed by I recall the Zero Punctuation-ish whistle blowing vids that were around last year.

I will say if you get a job that easily, it's for a reason. Usually the incredibly high staff turnover.

You'd be better off working in a factory, reminds you both to go to school and that there will always be those out there with lower paychecks but a much higher moral ground than anyone of us will ever have.

Maybe -- but they're also pretty-much the only game store left since Hollywood Video/Gamecrazy went tits-up.

Moral of the Story: Feel free to fuck the consumer in the ass with a sandpaper condom; you'll still win out in the end.

Gamecrazy's failings may have had something to do with their training methods

Funny, that -- the ones up here provided service far-and-away superior to any other.
