Mine just asks if I want to preorder anything but otherwise leaves you alone
Unfortunately those people are under threat of losing their jobs then, because the company requires them to hit specific used percentages or be let go:
I expect gamestop to eventually make a shift into being a hobby shop that sells games on the side

Yeah the one I usually go to is pretty alright.
Boy when I have to go to a different one it's night and day though.
On the one hand, GameStop sucks. On the other, ready access to piles of cheap ass used games is basically the only reason I could play videogames in some years of my life.
i wonder how much local competition has to do with it too
cuz the local gamestops are all right next to like, walmarts, who are going to sell basically everything they could claim to have with the exception of funko pops

I walked into a GameStop one time and started playing the Guitar Hero display and a few minutes later everyone like, ran out of the store and the employees made me leave and it wasn't until like five hours later I found out that I had walked into an armed robbery and obliviously became a hostage until the gunmen fled the store out the back.

The last time I shopped at a Gamestop was when they tried to sell me a "new game" opened and without the manual at full price.
Nope, I'm done. I'll just go to target or best buy where the game I'm looking for will be in stock with no hassle, or order it 20% off through prime (though if persona doesn't get here next tuesday I won't do that again either).

Sorry for the awesome but this is hilarious.
Oh, no worries. It's one of the funniest things to have happened around me and I love telling that story.

POG is actually Passion fruit, Orange, Guava. It originated in Hawaii, which is how I know about it because I was born there and my mother lived there for a while previously so she would buy it all the time even when we eventually went to live other places. Those cardboard disc things were created as a promotional item for the drink, glass bottles weren't in use any more at that point.
And now I really want some POG but there's none at the grocery store near me so thanks, Power Rangers.
That's what I get for not refreshing the knowledge base makes since elementary school.
I "learned" it because A POG SELLER CAME TO SCHOOL DURING GYM, INVITED BY THE SCHOOL.
POGs are no Spin-Jammer, I'll tell ya that for sure.

my parents are moving house and chucking out a whole lot of things and i managed to dig out the old Crimson Skies manual and god damn that thing is charming as hell

I just watched 2 Fast 2 Furious and I think the best thing I have to say about that movie is that it has almost as many crashed cop cars as Blues Brothers. It was entertaining but pretty dumb. Also, I think I would pay money for all the Vinny commentary tracks? I love him pointing out shit about the production of the movie, this one was especially good as he realized how attracted to Tyrese Gibson he was while also discovering new heights of mentally checking out of a movie.

I wish I still had the Crimson Skies novel I found at a thrift shop like a decade ago. Like every game back then it had a novel, but instead of being a novelization it was a short story collection telling stories in other parts of the US. It was real fun!
Haleakala Dairy of Maui sold a mixed fruit drink in a glass bottle with a cap under the brand name of POG. In 1955, Haleakala discontinued using the glass containers, but continued making the caps to allow the game to be played.

They literally have a policy in place to lie about not having new merchandise in stock if the customer isn't buying anything used, dude
They just got busted over it
Did you preorder Persona 5?
Like the required used game to new game ratios that employees must meet or be fired, you mean?

But their business model as a company is actually for real repugnant.
Oh I assure you the people who will be hurt by the closures will not be any of the people who are actually responsible for the company's bad policies

Kids just need to save their allowance for four months and have their mom drive them to seedy pawn shop for their copy of final fantasy 6 like I did
cuz the local gamestops are all right next to like, walmarts, who are going to sell basically everything they could claim to have with the exception of funko pops
sure but they don't have a funko pop wall you know
I get offered warranties like I do in every electronics store, and if I mention looking forward to a game they ask if I want to pre-order. That's it.

What the hell was that about
Nah. I mean, it's real good, but they've got a lot of good stuff on that site, so it's not like it's their one big thing.
it doesn't really do it for me either, I guess it's either not for me or you had to be there
There's a whole wall of Funko Brand shit with the bottom half being pops
I know this because I bought...3 of them the last two trips to Target
