This one guy I knew in college graduated and got a job at Gamestop.. part time. He is big into Jesus and said that because he enjoyed video games, "God wants me to work here, even if it's only part time, I feel like I belong here." Still working PT while his GF is earning her master's degree.

i see a lot of horror stories about bad experiences at gamestop, but all of the ones i've been to have had really helpful or at least inoffensive employees. trading in games there has always been a scam but the worst experience i can say was the time an employee tried to convince my friend not to buy two worlds. idiot.

I went there today and they weren't pushing the card.

I just wish they had a better selection of games. I used their game finder program and the locations I went to had the games I wanted out of stock. They had a ton of DS RPGs real cheap.

This Troper got picked on alot, in middle school and high school. Totally ignored in college by vapid girls. But after he got his degree and became manager at the most successful Gamestop (Southeast region), there are loads of kids (and college students who have to answer to him. Cue Evil Laugh . . .

Pretty much this. Somehow he just bought an engagement ring in cash, paid full. I guess his mom God helped him out.

God can only make His will known to dumb crackers in the American South/Great Plains, and wouldn't you know it the Truth from on high almost invariably involves the awful minutiae of their own lives.

What is his GF getting her Master's in? Please say theology.

If she were studying real Theology she would know better than to be with a guy who earnestly believes God's Path is for him to manage a Gamestop.

If she's attending Clarksboro County For-Profit SBC Christian Seminary, maybe not so much.

I go there and buy a preowned game and play it and take it back within 7 days, and I get my money back. It's like a free rental service.
If you are scared of getting the sale pitches like me, just say "...not at this time" to everything.
