I swear, Gamestop either fires or forces all the good people to quit. I remember there was this girl at my local Gamestop who was really cool and would look out for me. I was very OCD about game cases, if I bought a used game and they handed me one of those broken scratched up cases I would ask for another case. This girl would actually take the good cases and put them aside for me, and when I came in the store she'd be like "Oh I got a better case for that game you bought the other day". Then I went in one day and she was gone, she got fired for some reason. There was a hippie chick that knew everything about every game and turned me on to some classics; she got fired too. It kind of sucks, I used to like sticking around the store after a purchase to talk about games with these people but now it's nothing like that.

[@gazblackheart4596]

+lilturk726 yup i know exactly what you mean they used to have people that actually knew things about games that were cool and would discuss games but now its just business men pushing stuff literally went into one in nevada and the dude was wearing a SUIT. That is not going to be a person a gamer identifies with and feels comfortable talking to...

[@lilturk726]

Gaz Blackheart Yep, it's all about the pre-orders and random third party peripherals they can sell you. They used to try and sell you stuff before, but it wasn't as scummy, it was more like "hey, that game you're buying is 2-players, do you need another controller?" now it's like "hey, wanna pre-order? How about a Rewards Card?'

[@zebare726]

And dont forget.. Lets add 2 extra sticker on the case with seal and bought item.

[@declan6995]

the guys at my local eb games are awesome

[@fumomofumosarum5893]

I love how GameStop stories are its own genre on KZbin *lol*

[@SegaCDUniverse]

lol I guess there are a lot!

[@stephenwyatt88]

It's always enjoyable to revisit this.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

;)

[@justinjames2763]

I lost it at "He smelled like shit"

[@rapz85]

I held it together like a rock, thought I was going to make it to the very end. Was real proud of myself because holding it together is an assumed non option. Made it to about 20 minutes in without a legitimate rofl or even a significant Lol, right up until Chris Benoit rose from the grave to Crippler Crossface someones testicles... Had to pause it for a lil bit after that while I unsuccessfully and ungracefully pulled myself together.

[@babloo1666]

hahahah i didnt want to touch my laptop afterwards

[@faultyblue9934]

Justin James I didn’t because I have to deal with someone that smelled like shit everyday and shows signs that he didn’t shower

[@Ant_Lambo]

LMAOO "Chris Benoit gonna come back from the dead and cripple crossface his Balls!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RGT85]

Haha awesome video. And yes you were good on my time frame. Thanks for sharing bud hope this video does well!

[@SegaCDUniverse]

+RetroGamingTube 85 haha thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed it! I also had one more story I recalled once I stopped filming. I had a bet with the other guys on how many girls I could kiss, so I wore a mistletoe around Christmas. I got in the 50's, then started dating one of the kissees and stopped. I kissed old women, lesbians....you name it. Just not dudes. Though one now is trying to become a dude....blegh.LOL

[@masterxeon1001]

these are my favorite ghost stories at 5am. gamestop talesss.

[@Darkwolfpocco]

I will never give gamestop my money.

[@madmike9872]

Dont i bought dead island and i left got home opened the case and they didnt even give me the disk

[@Darkwolfpocco]

madmike987 Fuck man, I bought a Resident Evil game from them and I had to get the disk cleaned and ground 3 times before it would work without freezing.(Froze at a very specific point). Bought Pickmin 2 from them and the game case was broken to shit. After that I started boycotting them.

[@ThotdFan127]

Was it Resident Evil 3 on ps1? I got 5 fucking used copies from them in a row that didn't work.

[@Darkwolfpocco]

ThotdFan127 Nope Resi 5

[@Watcher3223]

And now, because of eBay and Amazon, there's no reason to deal with GameStop.

[@pedrofarnsworth3192]

The rewrapping opened games and selling them as new really grinds me gears.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

Yep it's fucked up. Now they don't even re wrap them!

+shenmueso Wow really!? HAHA....wait for part two..

[@user-yg8us6cr9w]

+SegaCDUniverse yeah I enjoyed the video too hahaha

[@Busterdrag]

This sounds to me more more like American Retail stories than just GameStop.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

I'd probably agree with that

[@peteallyn412]

Same. Retail can be hell sometimes.

[@CurtMortis]

Seriously one of the most entertaining videos I have seen in a long time. Thank you

[@davey_boy94]

Dude! You don't know how many times I've rewatched these and still dying laughing haha ill probably never forget these

[@SegaCDUniverse]

Great to hear and thank you!

The way you describe "D" I'm picturing Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force

[@randallarmendariz465]

I deal with the kids at the arcade I work at where the parents give the kids a dollar and tell them and make it work for like 5 hours

[@bigsantino]

[@faultyblue9934]

Randall Armendariz 1 dollar cant last you 3 minutes if you are good enough at most arcade games

[@FleaMarketFalcon]

Great stories! I use to work for Game Crazy which was part of Hollywood Video. I loved it but some of the customers sucked. we had a "George" that every day would bring in a stack of budget Wii games still sealed that he obviously stole from Target. Also had lots of problems with stolen credit cards.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

Wow! Thanks. I'm sure you have very similar stories lol

[@brianj8451]

Back in the early 2000s we had an EB-Games in town. It's been long re-branded to Gamestop by this point, but man it was the place to be when I was a kid. I was basically in there everyday. The staff was awesome, and all the good customers knew them on a first name basis and vice versa. My Dad who is a realtor in town even helped the manager buy a condo that's how well we knew them. Then overnight they brought in a new manager and everything changed... Thanks for sharing your stories, made me laugh and reminded me of some good memories, like the strategy guides!

[@SegaCDUniverse]

I'm glad you liked it. Yeah it definitely had it's moments :), sounds like fun memories

[@ZBR_ProXP]

"Hi, do you have a new copy of ________?" "Yea, let me go and get the case off the shelf with the sticker stuck on it, and then I will get the disc out of a sleeve in this drawer." "Uhh, no. I said new." "Oh, well it's the last one." "No thank you then."

[@cylercleary5817]

[@skyhazel6205]

To be honest I could listen to these stories for hours before getting bored. I hope you share as many as you feel like, because even without working there I could see it.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

[@josephquinn8187]

Hilarious dude ! You're a really funny story teller, I could see you doing like a Howard stern or something 😅. Loved these all! I live in Long Island too! Watched these like ten times and can't stop laughing ! Well done brotha 👌🏼

[@SegaCDUniverse]

Thanks so much bud! =)

[@Specter087]

I've had mostly bad experiences every time I've went to a GameStop. The most recent was when I went to buy The Last of Us on my PlayStation 4. I went in just wanting a new copy of the game. They guy behind the counter tried selling me a used copy and I politely said, "no thank you, I want a new copy". He rang me up for the new copy and then asked, "Would you like the strategy guide for the game?" I said, "no I'm good" and he replied, "psst...see you tomorrow". If I get a reply to this comment I will gladly tell you other experiences I've had at the GameStop

[@intellektualblackman5727]

+Specter087 My...fucking...God...THE HUMANITY!!! How many hours of counseling have you had since your traumatic experience? I went to McDonalds the other day and they asked me if I wanted Frys with my burger...I was like "no...I just WANT THE BURGER!!!!!!" It was so humiliating....

[@apewild1090]

+Intellektual BlackMan I got mocked at Arby's once for just wanting the sandwich (no meal). But.... but I didn't have the extra dollar I would need for the meal! I expect those assholes who wanted me to get the deal (one dollar for curly fries and a drink) to have known I didn't have enough cash on me. HOW DARE THEY DO THEIR JOBS AND TRY TO HELP ME OUT!

[@intellektualblackman5727]

ApeWild Yeah, I hate people who have never had to work with the public too. Fuck them and their kids.

[@apewild1090]

So many consumers nowadays seem so fucking entitled. I'm sorry the employees can't read your mind. They are just trying to do their jobs, which is most likely to up-sale. Or better yet, they may be trying to save you some money! When I worked at a movie theater a few years back I actively tried to get people to buy the combos because I knew it was cheaper for more stuff. Two medium drinks with a large popcorn cost around $3 more than just making the two drinks larges. Some people don't mind the used games so being offered a cheaper option is nice for them. Strategy guides are somewhere around 20% off if you buy them with the game so if you'd want it it's the better deal. It's not always just the business side - though, as I've said, usually the employees have to up-sale if they want to keep their jobs.

[@Specter087]

+Intellektual BlackMan yes this clearly was a story about how humiliated I was or how I felt entitled at a GameStop. Nicely done reading into this.

[@JasonVectrex_187]

Sorry to say most jobs I've worked at after a while all end up the same, with similar stories, and I never shop at games top anyway I treat them like walmart, where you treat your employees like shit, we'll then I'll shop somewhere else.

[@Paul5200_]

"I quit both times" YOU WENT BACK!? lol good shit man.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

+Paul5200 Yeah at one point I went to Circuit City. It was pretty bad there, so I quit. As I was driving home I called Gamestop and got my job back.

[@chefflores1588]

He smoked pot, drinks..Love this guy 😂😂

[@SegaCDUniverse]

lol nah I never really smoked. only drank a handful of times not big on the taste, but thanks ;)

[@peytonlutz1]

This video's resolution can match the Sega CD's...

[@SegaCDUniverse]

Quite true!

[@peytonlutz1]

SegaCDUniverse Pls don't be offended, It was just a joke to most of the movie type Sega CD games like Corpse Killer..

[@SegaCDUniverse]

I'm not man.

[@airsniper8505]

So, I just got back from GameStop (very ironic indeed) and came across this video. At first I'm like "uh interesting" then with ten minutes I'm making popcorn and firing up my ps4 to watch this on my 4K TV. This is just too damn entertaining!

[@SegaCDUniverse]

[@davidw4812]

let me guess.. You're black?

[@dariusthomas6641]

+mike talbot I'm black but my coworker was white. He started doing it first.

[@cooler1339]

I'm a bit confused. You said Gamestop doesn't care about their employees, but hearing what you said about this guy I would have fired him too. When they brought him that alcohol, he could have lead them outside the store and asked them to give it to him later or he could have stored it in his car. You do NOT ever store your alcohol in your place of work, ever. Gamestop does not own a liquor license. Dude deserved it. Not to mention he slept at the store and slept with his girlfriend in the bathroom, came to work high and drunk. Dude deserved this 10x over. Otherwise yes, I dislike Gamestop and don't ever really go there unless I really have to. A lot of things said about them are genuinely bad.

[@apewild1090]

+cooler1339 "You do NOT ever store your alcohol in your place of work, ever." Not always true. In a Gamestop, no, you shouldn't store your alcohol. However, if you work in a liquor store (from my experience) it's fine to store your drinks if you're closing, just be sure to ask management first.

[@cooler1339]

Liquor stores and a few others might be an exception, but I'd say nearly all places of work wouldn't allow it.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

+Lee Darklighter Not a customer, a thief. ;)

[@SegaCDUniverse]

+Lee Darklighter I'll call a spade a spade, yes I stole from the thief. lol

[@LaineMann]

+cooler1339 I absolutely agree.

Check out silent robs review of gamestop its 7 parts long, over an hour long, it was awesome.

[@matthewtibbs8605]

Every time I go to Best Buy there's never an employee in the game section.

[@Billy_-mf4dq]

fuck Best Buy they didn't even do a deal that the drone company DJI REQUIRED and sold me a phantom 3 standard without a 200 dollar case which I should have got

[@demoskunk]

Not surprised the district manager fired your friend for just having a bottle of Jack in the fridge. Gamestop employees aren't skilled labor. They can be replaced in an instant. They're a dime a dozen.

[@TXDogg83]

+dustin gray lol truth to it, i work at a Pet Clinic/Boarding joint a b d manage the Boarding....the EXACT SAME CROWD just with dogs/cats instead of video games. Word up

[@tissuewater]

so does every other job that includes cash register, or just plain cashiers. I bet you dont have a job lmao

[@LudusAurea]

You would get fired from the majority of white collar jobs for even having a bottle, opened, empty, full, brand new, it doesn't matter - in the office at all. Very few people enjoy the immunity to blatantly bring alcohol to work, whether they actually drink it or not. Those are people in high management positions in insurance or sales or finance etc.

[@Watcher3223]

My brother, who's into video games in a big way, worked as a manager at a GameStop, especially during the time where working for the company was actually fun. Then, things changed for the worst. According to my brother, his experience at GameStop when things turned to crap wound up turning him off of video games because the retail business, specifically how the company wound up treating their employees, made it very much like a sausage grinder. It took years for my brother to rekindle his passion for video games again after that experience.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

I don't blame him. I could see people thinking it was fun and then it turning to shit and them getting burnt out. Totally.

[@TRexSpaceStation]

Ha! I caught people doing that swap-out trick when I worked at Hollywood Video. I also happened to have worked with the couple at a restaurant and knew what they were doing, but the manager didn't want to bother, since they were heavy tweakers and figured they would cause a scene. So many strange things happen when you work with the public. Great stories, man. Working retail/in food is such a strong motivation to focus on getting your shit together.

[@SuperMoleRetro]

I worked at Babbage's. This was when PC games took up most of the store and the consoles had small spaces at the back of the store. They used to let us open computer games and bring them home to play so we could tell customers what the games were like. Thing is, after we brought the game back, they would have us shrink wrap the games and put them back on the shelf as new. Back then some of the games had a copy protection format that knew when the game was installed once, and would not install again after the initial install, or would only allow install for a certain number of times. The thing that drove me nuts is Babbage's would price new "hot" games at $79.99 in the mall, but you could drive across the road to Kmart and buy the same game for $50. I never understood why people would still buy the stuff in our store. I think the game publishers must have got wind and cracked some heads because Babbage's didn't price like that for too terribly long.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

+Mugg Mehlmann I remember Babbages, it was in my mall before it was EB. Great stories, and thanks for watching =)

[@AlphaXY13]

Yeah. I had one at my go-to store that got fired for no apparent reason. They wouldn't care if I was canceling pre-orders, trying to change a pre-order, etc. Now the new workers act like I'm the scum of the earth just because I want to change a pre-order to a digital version.

just found the channel and subbed, great story! I have a GameStop story and I'll try to make it brief. Yea I'll start off by saying GameStop is not the place I thought it was. When I was about 19 I was living with my band in this big house we rented. We needed it because of all the equipment. And plus it's nice to have tons of space because there was parties and drinking EVERY night. It was ridiculous lol. anyway, my friend J who was the drummer at the time needed a new job, and I had been looking. We both knew our shit about video games and played them all our lives, so we saw a new GameStop store was opening right down the street from us, and they were holding a job fair. So we went, applied, and did an on-the-spot interview. Well, I aced the interview. I proved I knew all that needed to be known about games.. it was/is my passion. Well it turns out they didn't hire me, they hire my friend J, and this other friend of ours we grew up with who's name was also J... I'll call him Jo though for now. Anyway, I was pissed. I was a stupid kid who looked up to gamestop and wanted to even run my own store. I really cared about games, and making sure people got the best experience. Well, my friends went and I asked them what it was like. They said they haven't done much yet because they're still unloading trucks to set up the new store. Ok Ill go ahead and fast forward. Two weeks later they came to the house after a shift and they got fired. They got fired literally at the end of their shift after the store was finished being set up. So basically gamestop hired them just for the purpose of setting up the store without even telling them. Maybe they knew hardly anyone would just accept two weeks of work. I lost all my respect for that place after thst day. Now, I don't look st the employees as the company. I look at the employees the same as any establishment I go into... i look at them as an individual. So this is not raggin on the employees overall. Anyway, that's my story... it is boring compared to yours, but still couldn't believe it at the time. Thanks for the video, and I'm on my way to watch part 2 :)
