While I have my resume in with a staffing service, I'm also checking the papers for job listings. Today however, I saw that a GameStop is opening in our local mall. I think I can handle retail if I can at least sort of/kind of give a damn about what I'm selling. This is why I was able to sell books for three years, office supplies for five months, and ladies clothing for five weeks. I just couldn't work up a passion for printer paper and ink cartridges, nor for frumpy dresses no matter how hard I tried.
I like video games though. I'll be the first to admit.
So, does anyone have any experience working for GameStop? Should I bother applying, or is this going to be yet another retail job where you're not there to sell the product as much as you are to glom onto the customer and hector and harass them until they buy a "Preferred Gamer Card" or whatever? I cannot express how much I hated that part of the job at the bookstore, and forced upselling is the worst part of any retail job, in my opinion.
Should I bother, or am I going to be in constant fear of losing my job because I'm not willing to tie people to chairs until they buy extra crap they didn't come in for?
