      I stopped after discovering Best Buy's gamer club gives you 20% off all new games. I just want to put all that gaming experience to real-world application.

      +DicloniusGames yeah I use gamers club unlocked as well. Amazon prime does it to. But you also get double the points in rewards at Best buy. If you use their credit card it goes up to 3 times the rewards.

    What is funny about this is that when I was younger, the local GameStop(EB Games) preferred to hire people who knew nothing about games and didn't play video games. I am thinking they did it to make sure the people were doing their job and selling the items to people instead of slacking off and talking about games and playing them all day while at work(portable, demo machines, etc.).

    I haven't been into a GameStop in years but when I was a regular customer I always got the MVP card thing with the magazine subscription....Mostly for the magazine.....Now when I buy my games from Amazon Prime I get new games for $10 off the regular price and I get most all of my used games from eBay.....Sometimes I'll swing into a GameStop to check out the bargain rack.

Reason being I was just searching how to get hired at different places and help myself in interviews. This was helpful and I like going to Gamestop, admittedly I wish I could go more before watching this video but hey Christmas is around the corner and working there and going to college would be amazing to do. firstly thanks for the pointers, you just earned you a subscriber, and lastly game on.

    I've been seeing a few of your videos particularly about your time working at GameStop. They're educational and a little bit inspiring. I shop a few in my general area where I live but I don't know if I consider myself a "regular" let alone a "regular" at just one location...and as much as I enjoy videogames as seen by what I myself upload here, I generally don't keep current or keep current with technology overall...

    • @AdelgirlTwitch
      @AdelgirlTwitch Před 7 lety +2

      you should probably still try, but it would be better to just wait 2 years and try again. The reason why they don't really hire people under 18 is because you have to be at least 18 to sell an M rated game

    • @BPGRYT
      @BPGRYT  Před 7 lety +2

      +Adelgal that's not true you don't have to be 18 to sell an M game. It's that you can't work past certain times and require breaks things they don't like.

    @Khaltazar Před 7 lety +11

    Gamestop is like working a sales job without getting sales job money. You get minimum wage or very close to it and no matter how much you sell you still get paid by the hour. If you are good at sales you can do way better than this place.

    You: Wait, I said Red.
    Customer service: Yeah. Red is in here.
    You: then why is it in a black box..?
    Customer service: Yeah. It's used.
    You: But I said I wanted an unused one.
    Customer Service: We don't have a new one.

    I just got hired at game stop! Ok I've got to know! Was I hired because I'm a slightly above average looking female?
    So I've worked in retail before (shoes,accessories,clothing) and I'm am VERY experienced in sales, paperwork, money handling. (I was a key holder)...
    However, my 5 minute interview at GameStop didn't give me time to elaborate on my skills. To my surprise I was hired on the spot. To be honest I was told by my pervious (female) managers that "they wouldn't have hired me if I weren't pretty"
    Was I just hired by looks at GameStop?????

    I actually did go into Game stop as a regular dropped in a couple of applications several months apart and they never said they were looking to really hire any one, even during the holiday season, the strange thing i find about this video and what one of the Game stop employee's told me was that "they typically look for someone who has retail experience" not necessarily Game knowledge. I looked at one of your last Videos and i think it really sucks they don't pay overtime but i think i can see why because to me everything is going digital and sadly Game stop might go the way of blockbuster. of course maybe that is just me being a pc gamer.

    • @BPGRYT
      @BPGRYT  Před 8 lety +1

      Yeah normally they do their holiday hiring in October. But almost every one we hired never had retail experience. But to the same extent they never pay overtime because they wont let you work above 40hrs. But why pay an employee that much more to do the same thing they always do. But their death will be a slow death.

    • @omega6426
      @omega6426 Před 8 lety

      I might be rambling a bit, but I will say that I like Game stop but from what i have seen and heard (including from your Videos) is that Game stop has problems with how they operate, an example would be the rewards card/points rolling over back to 0 after about a year (takes forever to get points unless you shop there a lot) or dealing with problems involving per-order's ( I had pre-ordered a collectors edition game with a gift card that got hacked) but the most frustrating part for me at least was not being able to call in and ask for an interview let alone in person, so as much as I don't want it to happen i guess they kind of deserve it ,end rant, thanks for the response and the video!

    Certain customers wouldn't have to bother gamestop employees if they where actually doing there job in the first place like for customers who are bargain hunting and gamestop puts the shitty box with just the name of the game on the shelf.Not everyone will have a smartphone to pull up a youtube video of a game or Wikipedia about it, especially if we have never played it, we check out the box, the screen capture graphics, check to see if it contains an instruction manual.When gamestop gets lazy and puts the crap box out with no pictures than customers will get discouraged, and than feel like its not worth it and leave or end up getting a crap game and be stuck with it.

In fact there is ex-workers all over youtube that are saying the same thing. bottom line is gamestop is just all about making money that's all and when they don't get what they want from you they will drop like bad habit. they have zero zip zilch integrity.

      Matthew Bell first of all thanks for the cuss words. Now only store manager and assistant manager can get 40 hours. They can't go past that or they will get in trouble. Then they get a set amount of hours to do scheduling for the staff. Now with that added most non key holders get two days a week from lets say 6:30 to 9:30 while others might get spread around with 3 days. And then who gets the most hours is set by the circle of life. I'm guessing you either don't work at gamestop or don't know. Either way don't stress it. My word doesn't mean anything just like yours
