I made it a good way in, pretty decent stuff. Personally, I'd rather go to gamestop than get kicked in the nuts, but that's just me.

There's a lot of overhead involved with maintaining a brick-and-mortar store that sells only video games. If gamestop didn't make tons of money on used games, they couldn't afford to have one every three f'ing blocks for seemingly no reason at all.

I'd like to schedule an "I told you so" for the day when it's revealed that GameStop is a front for organized crime. :cool:

No meth lab, but the shrinkwrap machine's fumes can get you good and dizzy.

You can't expect much from young people that get paid no more than minimum wage. Shit, even McDonald's pays more than GameStop as far as I can tell.

How much professionalism do you expect for six bucks an hour?
Gamestop doesn't pay enough for you to afford the crap required by their dress code... always a sign of a top-notch employer.

I was in one and got dizzy from the pot fumes. No joke, the store reeked of pot.

You're right there.

Seeing how Electronics Boutique,Babbage's,Software Etc,Waldensoftware and Funcoland all were gobbled up and were merged into GameStop. :rolleyes: I can't expect too damn much anymore,can I? ;) All the competition is gone! :mad:

Heh. I just checked out a hole-in-the-wall records/comics/video games shop today and was bowled over by the weedstink that belched out when I opened the door. Never seemed to have a problem with stoners at GameStop, though. Mostly a variety highschool kids and nerdlings trying to impress the girls that venture in there.

I would have guessed much harder drugs than that. Maybe, only the Gamestop Corporate honchos get to enjoy the really hard, mind altering, stuff. Actually...that makes the most sense.
