The Job
Gamestop in Marquete is a LOT different than it was in Green Bay. For starters, the store itself is very clean and organized, very crisp and new. Its even larger than the mall store. In addition to that, Gamestop Marquette has also been the number one store in the entire company since it opened. Now THAT is pretty impressive.
The feel there is a lot different. Things can be busy but there are more lulls in things to do than ever. Plus, working at a strip mall often has a greater chance of susceptable customers. One thing thats real awesome - first full week working, I knock the manager off his high horse (or, number 1 position) which he held since the store opened. Not only that, since then I have been number one several times, twice I've been number one in the district. Wait... number one in the number one store in the company makes me... number one in the company, right!! FUCK YEAH. Another top dog - somethign like that hasn't happened to me since DBZ CCG.
The crew is a lot more serious at this Gamestop - where it was easy and fun to joke around with most of them, here everyone is just work work work. No real obvious friend material like at 1040 with Mark, Adam, Aaron, and Fong. Of course, theres no Gregg hanging around either which is a plus.
Well despite their attitude, I still act the same - friendly bubbly trying to make them laugh as much as I can. I think (hope) people have a fun time when they work with me. In another interesting turn of events one of the employees (Jeff) lives next to me.
Oh yeah... the manager's last name is Doody. DOODY. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
At any rate, I'm still a 3rd key but without the car it makes it hard to open - I don't get too many hours either. Still, I think I'll be able to survive, I'm still making more than what I planned on making when I figured out my loan. And its always nice taking advantage of discounts and stuff in order to get games cheap (or sell ones I won't play anymore).
