Well I figure I am not the only one on the site who works at a game store. I live in Canada and have been working at EB Games for over a year now and have lots of crap to let off my chest. If there are any others here, come out and vent or just speak your mind. Best Buy folk are welcome and others along those lines, but if you rep the Wal-Mart.......STAY AWAY! 


Also. I have hosted and edited podcasts on other sites, which I care much less about now than this site (followed the founding fathers from their past!) and am wondering if there are any other game store employees out there that want to start up a community show where we can share our "inside knowledge" with the "normies" of Giant Bomb. Feel free to send friend requests if intrigued.

If you people want to hate, trust me, in most cases I'm right there with you! Although a good debate is always appreciated...as long as it is civil.

VIVA LA BOMBALUTION!

I work at Gamestop and it's all pretty ridiculous. People complain about us pushing pre-orders and all that, but what they have to realize is that's retail. Get used to it.

All the game store employees are pretty cool around my parts. They always ask for me to buy extra stuff but the are forced to do that so I don't hold it against them. "I don't want scratch protection!" lol

I will go ahead and paste my extra blurb for those of you too lazy to scroll down a bit and read.

I actually just applied at the local Gamestop.

Sadly, when I went in to follow-up on my application today the manager told me he wants to hire someone else, but they aren't giving him  enough hours. Dx
