    I don't think people need to pre-order relays, switches, cable wire, batteries, wire duct, or things of that sorts. Could be wrong though.

      I sent a 7 page letter to the president of Gamestop, Steve Morgan, to tell him what I thought about the company and their business practices and their lack of ethics, respect for the customers, and Gamestops lack of respect for its employees.

      He hasn't replied yet.

        Well, I got a response. And all he did was say the same thing that was preached to me the day I started. The only thing he said that didn't seem like it was scripted was that maybe I wasn't "Gamestop material" and that I need to "learn the basics of business".

        What a joke.

            Apparently having a mind of your own and caring about customers is something that Gamestop frowns upon.

              Sounds like sour grapes on their part. No worries....it definitely sounds like this is a positive change for you. Always best to move forward rather than look back ---- best of luck to you in your new job!

                LMAO, which means maybe you want a career and a future! And Gamestop is not that! lol It is all about money in the end. Every thing is about money. That is what makes the world go around. I love my job at J hall and we make OK money, but the schedule and 180 day contact kick ***. So most things out there want to care about people, but money is what it is really about.

                  A countryboy shouldn't be working at a video game store anyways.

                                First off, I try and buy my games at some type of game centric store when at all possible. That said, I'm REALLY getting sick of the pre-order or don't get the game syndrome that seems to be plaguing "us". I flat out refuse to place a single pre-order and as much as it boggles the girl at Gamestop I somehow feel that I am making a stand. A itty bitty stand, but a stand nonetheless.

                                So where do you guys stand on pre-orders? A necessary evil? Corporate evil not wanting to take any risk actually stocking games? Good for the industry? I mean really, when was the last time you pre-ordered a pair of shoes? Perhaps you pre-order your groceries too?

                                Oh, and you're welcome for having your thread totally derailed countryboy =P

                                I think preordering is stupid as well. I want to be able and walk into the store and get my game when I want to. Any place that says you have to put an additional $5-10 down to "guarantee your copy" is just stealing money from you. Even the most coveted games I've been able to walk into a store and just pick up off the shelf.

                                Plus it once happened to my brother where he preordered a game, went to the store to pick it up at which point they explained that it had sold out but they would be receiving more copies in a few days. There was no offer to refund his "guarantee" money or anything.
