I'm not asking for a suit and tie, but showing up in baggy jeans and a t-shirt? This happened thrice. Just a polo would have been nice.
You're paying them minimum wage. Don't expect much professionalism.

Alas, I do not interview in my store but at Starbucks, and gentlemen do create such a scene at that fine establishment!
I came in to an interview at Toys R Us with some nice pants and a shirt and she brought it up like "why would you come in like that?"
I wasn't hired. Then I got my job working at home for at least 3x what I would have made. Such is life.

This is the problem with youth today. It IS a business and I take hiring seriously so you guys don't get hassled by poor customer service. That's why I'm going to hire the college grads desperate for cash and not dumb kids too stupid to not wear a polo!
You need people who are at least somewhat knowledgeable about games, so it would be helpful if the employees actually played them. Or, at least, had a period in their life when they did play games. Just so that they'd be capable of giving actual recommendations.

clearly you know nothing of game retail

this is a running theme with Shinobi I guess
also, if you show up in a suit and tie - or even a polo - to interview with my company, then we all laugh about you afterwards and roll our eyes at how little you know about the game industry
I guess selling games is more serious business than making them!
It would be far better not to stock more than one or two of all the shit games (except the ones you know are going to sell, like Army of Two). That way the employees are never stuck trying to push a piece of crap title on an unsuspecting customer. You'll lose the customer's trust if you give him too many bad recommendations.

oh come now a tucked in polo with a good pair of jeans is just right for a game industry/programming interview. If that's their "high end" in terms of dressing up, then they'll be running around in shorts, threadless tees, and flip flops like the rest of you once hired.

I was watching one of those Too Human production diaries the other day, and the guy demoing the game was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. It was kind of embarrassing. This video is what's supposed to sell me on your game, and you're making me look at a guy in his late 30's wearing shorts?

No one looks good in a polo. Better to just go for a button downed shirt, nice undershirt. tuck it in, roll up the sleeves, leave the very top button undone. Its like youre running for president.
BOATS
Acclaim had the worst games back then, and I was supposed to push them :( :(

maybe i should apply at my local gamestop. the guys who work there seem a little weird though. it's right around the corner from my house, on the other hand. employee discount would be sweet too the way games are priced here in yurop :-\
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the prices the same as ever, only now that the dollar is weaker, you think you should get more of a discount?

60 euro for a game is ridiculous either way.
