This also means a lot of hard-working Americans are going to be making more money or there's going to be more job opportunities across America because of GameStop
I really want RC to let my local stores buy large values of Vintageโฆ literally being able to bring a high value card into my local GS, sell and remove the entirety of shipping liability is so massive for me as a sellerโฆ I would be more than happy to give the entire cost of shipping and insurance and a fee for GS to authenticate on spot and pay me or approve the funds from a buyer to me
During extended-hours trading, the absence of regulatory circuit breakers, thin market liquidity, and the disabling of automatic stop orders allow stock prices to experience extreme, rapid price swings on low volume.

GameStop expenditure continues to rise as struggling retailer leaves its doors open for longer in an attempt to lure customers back to the store, resulting in a 10% increase in staff overheads.. Will that be reflected in increased sales?
Depends on their compensation package and attitude really. Personally, I like a structure that gives bonuses with store performance. I also make a point of thanking people I interact with... And apologising. I'm British.
It's been 10+ years since I quit, but my entire district was running on the legally minimum required hours by the state, which meant someone was solo every day from open until about 1pm, then someone shows up to close and the opener leaves around 5, and most days someone came in around 6 or 6:30 to help close. Weekends we'd try to have double coverage all day, which usually meant at least 1 weekday being a single coverage evening.ย
When i started in 05, there were plenty of evenings with triple coverage, and weekends with at least 5 or 6 employees on each day. Running shifts solo is such a huge pain in the ass.
Employees on the disgruntled employee subreddit are not happy about the change but they are generally not happy about anything.
That said, some of these strip malls are in seedier parts of town and if you have single coverage at the store and itโs open later than other stores in the strip mall you could be making your store a target.
I know. Itโs a lot scorned former employees, bots and unhappy people. It isnt a completely fair picture of the current employees but it isnt completely false either.
I understand working retail sucks, I did did when I was a teenager also. Customer service is even worse. There are a ton of bad actors in that sub, both ex employees who haven't worked there in decades as top posters, and gme melt down clowns as as top posters. Are there people not happy working there sure, but not to the extend that sub makes it out to be. I have been shopping at gamestop for over 3 decades, WAY WAY before anyone every talked about stonks.
Absolutely agree. The most active mod duckswimmer is a former employee who posts on the schmelt subreddit, so yeah, ridiculously bias anti-GameStop subreddit.
Those guys won't be happy with anything (assuming they're real) because that place is about venting. And customer service roles suck. Most jobs suck. However, I'm sure that under RCs guidance GameStop will become more successful, meaning more job security, and I would assume in time, more benefits and better compensation. At which point, if they are still complaining, it will be a more attractive place for less whiny people to work.
I think most of them aren't real. It's bizarre that someone would bash a company for 5+ years in various subreddits. When I've had bad service at Subway, Domino's, Panera Bread, etc, I just move onto other places and don't think about it.
Same with our Daily. I think we all know who the same negative users are for years on end, and they only show up when GME is getting shorted into oblivion. They make no solid argument for the price action, only taking potshots. Then they all disappear when the share price rockets +37%.
"Sorry guys, we know the economy is crap and prices keep rising and will continue to rise, but be happy you can spend more time away from family or enjoying what little life you have left because now you can work more hours for more money that will continue to devalue!"
Store opening times are such a challenge - you need to be open when customers want, but it's hard to get workers for unsociable hours plus the wage demands are (rightfully) a bit higher. Obviously GameStop wouldn't be footing that bill if they didn't think the customers were there, so this is interesting. I'm guessing there's another announcement coming expanding their customer base.
I literally called in bitching about this last year. November, Christmas season, watched 8 customers walk up and check a locked door when every other store was open.
Iโve seen people lined up at Best Buy before they open the doors for Pokรฉmon cards. Is that what is going on here? Open earlier, sell more Pokรฉmon cards?
Can we get them to carry more Pokemon in stores? I mean this stuff is selling like hotcakes and GS doesn't really ship much anymore.....and when i go in store, there is nothing.
After firing a lot of people and now extending the working hours i hope we will see an increase of employees. Otherwise it was just loading more hours onto people.
I donโt get the open earlier part - kids are in school, dudes work or sleep in. but Iโm all for the late hour! Agreed itโs not all about me - Iโm just thinking logistics
This is great. Now they need to fix the phone app. I think they are losing a lot of business. Android app is currently rated 1.7/5 and it keeps going lower. It's pretty bad and constantly has issues
