Thinking of working at Gamestop

**Gecco** · 08 Feb 2005, 09:36 PM

A new Gamestop is opening up where I live, in the middle of BFE Nebraska, and I was wondering how bad it might actually be. I've read all the past threads about the stupid things people do and say but I'm thinking there has to be some good side to working there. I know alot of it would depend on what the people I work with are like but I'd just like some input from those of you that have worked at Gamestop or some other type of gamestore. On a more specific note, do employees happen to get a discount, and if so how much? Thanks guys.

The good side is you get a "glorious" discount of 15%.

One off-season, while still playing for the Chicago Bulls, Ron Artest applied for a job at Circuit City. On the job application he wrote down "NBA player" as his last job and used Bulls president Jerry Krause's name as a reference. And he did it all just so he could get the employee discount on home electronics

Every time I hear "employee discount", I laugh and think of that.

If you want to hate what you now love then by all means work at Gamestop.

Well said.

Here's an OLD link documenting much of what you'll likely end up hearing here (again)...

Hhaha, so was he actually hired and how long did he stick with?
