I could cut him a good deal on some Illy, yo.

And yeah, though this place is nothing compared to when I used to work at a video game store. So many fucking complaining parents.

 

[Fint]

I used to work for GAME here before it got shutdown, didn't get many complaining parents just clueless ones which were just as infuriating.

 

[JuveJay]

Nope, 3 mobile

I was expecting a more insulting reply So what dragged you into the murky world of Xmas mobile sales?

At least you don't work for EE.

 

[Fint]

I saw the trap and tip-toed around it

I'm working with them the past year and a half, turns out I've a knack for conning people into lengthy phone contracts without much knowledge of phones to speak of.

Assistant management job in offing hopefully after christmas though :xfinger:

I pity anyone who has to work at Game, although they always seem like a fun bunch, if you get on with a slightly nerdier bunch as I do. But some of the questions

There is an older manager in our one remaining store in the city centre here, and he is basically the fountain of all gaming knowledge. He's trying to do his technical job through the busy period and all the young staff are constantly going to him with question after question at the counter. What sort of training do they give you there? Do they just ask if you like videogames?

 

[Fint]

Pretty much, although there were one or two I worked with (mainly girls) who had little or no interest in gaming and they would be the ones constantly asking questions. It was a fun environment to work in no doubt and I'd just secured myself a management position there two months previous to having to close business for good.

You would get even more work in England, for some reason they love the Irish accent in sales staff here, as if everyone in Ireland is Mrs Doyle.

 

[Fint]

I worked in marketing and sales in London for a year and I used to just get stuck talking to so many company secretaries wanting to hear me Irish brogue, same in Australia.

Yeah, my interview basically was just "do you play games, what genres, what consoles do you have" and that was it. I have a feeling I could have answered anything though & got the job. People always say that those types of stores have a female staff quota, they acted like I was already hired before the interview even started.

 

[Fint]

I can pretty much confirm that Anytime a position opened up, every lad in there was asking for a girl to be hired.

 

[Nzoric]

Well, winter is officially on. Fuck this shit.

 

[Enron]

There is way to much puss belly going on in my office.

 

[Fint]

Well, winter is officially on. Fuck this shit.

I swear this is the mildest winter I've ever experienced here, im wearing a t-shirt outside as we speak like it ain't no thang
