I'm going to assume that there's no real rhyme or reason to it. A good gamestop this year might be a bad one next year too, and vice versa. Who knows? Seems like a chaos theory kind of thing. Depends on who's working. --- zero earnings |

| Try_Another___ 03/30/21 4:32:19 PM #44 | To those of you who had good experiences with gamestop: good for you, my own experience doesn't invalidate yours, etc. If there's cool people working at your gamestop, that's awesome, glad it can be a cool experience for you. But the thing is, at the corporate level they don't want the cool employee, they want the pushy employee. In terms of sheer numbers the pushy employee is outclassing the cool employee. --- zero earnings |

Yeah but I can't help but feel bad for the dude especially when there are probably people who made more off of gamestop stock in a weekend than he makes in a year while toeing the company line and being a good little salesman --- zero earnings |

Also I hope everyone who hates Gamestop purchase spiels are complaining about stuff like Amazon offering you "products other people bought" or "products you may like" or "Please for the love God sign up for Credit Card" That's why I said "places like this" at the end of my original post too, it's everywhere. Another good example is trying to order a domino's pizza online and getting constantly interrupted by pop-ups imploring you to add some parmesan bites or whatever _Marka_Ragnos_ posted... New games have such small margin, they make barely anything selling a new $60 title. They have to do this to stay afloat. I mean, by the rules of the free market shouldn't that mean that they've overstayed their welcome then? --- zero earnings |

They have lots of used games and often sell them dirt cheap. The last time I had went to one before the time I talked about in the OP, I walked out with like 6 X360 games for less than $20 --- zero earnings |

| Try_Another___ 03/30/21 4:00:46 PM #18 | Pome posted... What? Too social inept to just say no to a few questions? This is unironically what they're looking for though I think. They expect their customer base to be weak-willed people with poor social skills who will cave eventually instead of standing their ground. In which case, it just shows even more how out of touch gamestop is with the times. Video games are not an "outsider" thing anymore --- zero earnings |

I've been to Gamestop literally dozens of times and to dozens of different stores and never encountered one even 1/4 as aggressive as the online world would have you believe.

| Try_Another___ 03/30/21 3:56:09 PM #8 | Proto_Spark posted... Is Gamestop this aggressive in the States? The Canadian equivelent (EB Games) that I've ever gone to, at most will ask if I want to pre-order something while I'm at the register buying something. Otherwise they just kind of do basic retail stuff. I'm from the States, yeah. Obviously I can't speak for every gamestop ever but the whole thing did feel very American if that's what you mean. Like that whole aggressive approach is not surprising protocol for an American corporation --- zero earnings |

| Try_Another___ 03/30/21 3:50:40 PM #1 | Hadn't been to one in years and stopped in at one to get my gf a copy of animal crossing for her birthday. The guy behind the counter was trying to get me to buy animal crossing plushies, trying to get me to sub to gameinformer, etc. I told him that I was only there for this specific thing and that I pretty much exclusively buy games digitally now. Then he tried to sell me some of those cards they have with currency for in-game purchases and whatnot. When that didn't work he tried to sell me a protection plan for the game. Somehow I made it out of there without buying anything but the game itself. How are places like this staying in business? Actually, how? What does gamestop really have to offer? Are there really people going to a store to physically buy a piece of cardboard to use for digital purchases? Also, if you want to read gameinformer so bad, why not just go to their website? Who exactly is gamestop's market in 2021? I honestly just feel bad for these dudes who get some lower management position at places like this and have to spend all day shilling this stuff. I know I couldn't do it. --- zero earnings |
