I worked at one for about a year during college. The only reason I got the job there was because I sold the store manager a television at a discount at my prior job and he loved me for giving him a steep discount on a floor model. There is no formal training, so be knowledgeable about the games that GS deems popular for that marketing period. The registers are relatively simple to use, but not without their annoying quirks. Employees will be hit and miss for you. At my branch we had a senior game advisor and an assistant branch manager that constantly stole from the branch and blamed it on the game advisors, and even fired the "perpetrators" over it.The branch manager was barely there, and when he was he was constantly on his cell phone yelling at "his woman". He quit and was replaced by a 18 year old from out of state who looked like he was 12 and spoke with a lisp. I was fired for not respecting his "management style" of berating both customers and employees alike over their tastes and preference of console. He managed to fire 5 of the staff in the span of 3 weeks because of the way he managed.

Be prepared for angry parents and irate teenagers who will make up the majority of your clientele. Parents will **** and moan that you didn't sell their precious little five year old angel an M rated game, because they are too busy being horrible parents. Teens will annoy you about minute details about every game that they deem bro-tastic and bad-ass.

You will also be required to cross sell GS's redundant and otherwise useless products, such as magazine subscriptions and will be required to get an unnecessarily high percentage of customers to preorder a product. I may sound like a jaded ex employee, but ask anyone who worked there for an extended period of time about working there, and they will give the same basic description as I do. It isn't the worst place to work, but it certainly isn't good.

"The FCC set that all broadcasts have to be digital on February 19th, 2009, and depending on what size you want to get, it varies, under 40 LCD is the way to go, and over 40 Plasma is king"

This is from Mar 19, 2007 12:02 am ET, though I was a member since May 2003 and my prior posts have been purged

I took the SAT when the maximum was still 1600. I believe I got a 620 on verbal and 580 on Math.

Kane and Lynch. Why oh why did I shun the review scores and buy it to see what all the hooplah around here was about.

What is this? No Undiscovered Country. It is arguable the second best of the first six movies, and third overall. I am disappointed with the lack of its' inclusion. Though I would rate it slightly lower than Khan, I still think it should be included in the poll

I will say this; I certainly do not drink beer to get drunk. That is what whisky/bourbon and scotch are for. 8)

I enjoy it so much that I brew my own. It is both delicious and rewarding.
