    This has been my dream minimum wage job since I was 6.

    And I'm great friends with all the employees at the location I'm going to.

    I'm so excited.

    Dude, you have just gotten one of the best jobs ever for our type of people.

    Now make sure you keep your eyes peeled for new KH information....as well as me coming in hoping you'll give a discount(I can dream at least right? Maybe a guy I've never met before will do when my brother didn't)

    Be careful about working with your friends! I've had mixed experiences with it. P: It can be a joy, but other times it's blegh.

    Otherwise congrats, hope you enjoy it.

    I've been considering putting in an application at my local Gamestop, but I've heard mixed things about what it's like working there, so let us now how the whole thing turns out, but congrats nonetheless :3

    Dude if your friends with the gamestop employees, you should ask them if you can keep the kh3D Cut out cardboard. Trust me it works

    I hear all the time about how Gamestop employees are *******s, but every Gamestop I went to around here are always very helpful and nice. I have been thinking about applying, but I just gave up and applied for Red Lobster, since I knew the manager since I was 3 and I will have a better chance of getting the job.

    I hate most Gamestops, but I really like this location. I especially like how they push preorders over used game sales.[DOUBLEPOST=1345558801][/DOUBLEPOST]
    I've heard it's a terrible place to work, but anywhere has to be better than the movie theater I work at now. I'm only getting 14-19 hours a month.[DOUBLEPOST=1345558853][/DOUBLEPOST]
    Where on Earth would I put that? And how would I fit it in my tiny car?
    Nah dude, I'm good.

    Plus, they don't have one anyway.

    Pretty much what I've heard about working there from a lot of people. They've even made a few lists of worst places to work.

    I'm sure it was awesome being a high class Nazi general as well.
    Doesn't make it any less ass.

    Can relate! I would only do about 25 hours per month when I still worked at a theater, because you only really got hours on the weekends. **** sucks yo.

    Didn't help that I made only a little above minimum wage for most of my time working there.

    I've been working there for a year and I get paid minimum wage. Most of my hours are actually on the weekdays though.[DOUBLEPOST=1345575809][/DOUBLEPOST]
    I actually don't think the location I'm gonna work at is a corporate location.

    It's not as bad as most Gamestops I've gone to, plus, everyone has tattoos, and I'd be allowed to keep my ears stretched and piercings.

    They do though! They push used game sales, which pretty much does nothing to support the creators!

    I like this location because they push preorders of new games.[DOUBLEPOST=1345585093][/DOUBLEPOST]
    And how on Earth can you compare Gamestop employees to Nazis, that's not even funny.
