You probably haven't been on the receiving end of it yet.

Personally, I delete probably 90% of my posts before hitting the reply button because I don't want to deal with a potential dogpile. I'm not scared of having an actual 1:1 conversation with any person, but once you let the cat out of the bag on this forum it becomes impossible to manage the conversation. The second you post something unpopular you will get character attacked, talked down to, insulted, I'd even go so far as to say bullied. It's like, if you hold an alternative opinion, people don't engage that opinion, instead they immediately stake the moral highground, as if it were impossible to have this alternative view without some type of moral failing. Engage the idea, not the person, everyone needs to try and be better at this. That is the true problem.

Being polite doesn't help.
Genuinely asking to be educated doesn't help.
Distancing yourself from the view being posted doesn't help.

Now this is an issue with the internet in general and not specific to this forum, BUT I hold this forum to a higher standard than the rest of the internet. Sadly though, I've been let down a lot lately.

Even posting this is giving me hesitation to be honest.

I got a job at Gamestop! What can I expect?

Other then customers terrible reactions to trade in prices that is....

So I left my previous job because of the company pushing me to do things I wasn't comfortable doing (I felt like it was stealing). Life got a little rough and a good friend told me their store was hiring. I applied and was hired not too long after. I start next week. What can I expect working retail?

Few things going in from what I've heard from previous employees before is that I have to push pre-orders and pro membership cards on everyone constantly. And I will be slashing game disks to prevent resell.

(And as a inside joke I should always tell customers: "Trust me I work at Gamestop."
As funny that sounds I might have to pass, granted I have this weird feeling saying that will make great stories out of the job. )

So does any previous or current employees have tips or information to what I should expect or how I should handle things?

[VomKriege]

Heh, a man's gotta eat. Is it really that much worse than any other retail job ? Always was a bit skeptic of the torrent of horrified answers on GAF. Most large shop franchises will try to push on you insurance & fidelity cards, although GS might be even more relentless.

EDIT : Some good cringe however...

I wouldnt be surprised if dogs were eaten by humans too in these regions. Hence the dog bitings, probably to defend themselves...

Animals may defend themselves against immediate agression, not against some future intent. Otherwise herding animals would the most dangerous job on Earth.

I'm pretty biased with those dog threads and pretty much most opinions, no matter the side, sound as dumb as a sack of bricks to me. Like "Western fetishization of dogs over other animals"... well yeah, dogs and horses are arguably some of the most important and useful conquests of man up to present day, of course we have affection for them. And not just in Western Europe.

Guess I shouldn't be too surprised though, it's the kind of matters for which there's no easy answers.

[Rahxephon91]

Why would anyone take GAFS opinion on retail jobs seriously? Most of the complaints come back to "this sales employee was doing his job by trying to sell me something and I want to be a cunt about it, the horror of them talking to me".

The Gamestop complaints are always "they try to push their card/pre-orders on me" and like the socially awkward losers they are they can't simply act like a normal being and come up with the most obvious reply of "no thank you" or a simple chukle with a "I'm good".

That's sorta the funny part to me, he quit his last job because he was being pushed by his boss to do questionable stuff, so he can work at Gamestop with its well-known quotas on upselling.

I'm assuming he wasn't like being told to cover up murders or dump toxic waste into drinking water or dump Flint's drinking water into toxic waste or something like that in his old job.

Also the problem with the dog poisoning thread, along with most other threads in GAF, is that it boils down to a oneupsmanship game of virtue signalling and outrage.  These people don't really care to have discussions on anything because they'd rather be considered the supreme moral authority in any given thread.

Those Nintendo fans in the NX threads are getting crazy. It is the WUST all over again. They just cannot come to terms with the fact that Nintendo ain't competing with Sony or MS on hardware. The last 2-3 Nintendo hardware generations did not compete, and every credible piece of info on the NX shows it will be no different.

[Tasty]

It's really quite puzzling, it doesn't even really need to compete. It seems like it's primarily a handheld, and Wii U power in a handheld is a huge step up from the 3DS anyways. Without a Vita 2 Nintendo outright owns the handheld market again (what's left of it, anyways.)

I'd rather have a lower price and better battery life myself.

Nintendo fans are a special kind of crazy, when it comes to not facing the truth about their hardware.

You'd think the NX being a HH would kill any hopes of "PS4-like" power. But you have dozens of pages of Nintendo fans trying to convince themselves Nintendo can somehow fit a PS4 into a HH device.

It is rather sad. The official reveal--when all those hopes and dream shatter--will being quite entertaining.

Wait, Trump is only winning WHITE PEOPLE by 2? Hoooooooly shit. That's gotta be a record, right?

Only leading by 2 points among white voters is such a death sentence. They rely on that demo to make up for all the others.
