Nov 28, 2011 - I just pulled a 10 hour Black Friday tour @ Toys R Us my first day rehired after 15 years... No training really at all... No keys... Awful lot of apologies and basic help and feeling like a turd but I did my job and I wasn't at a Gameslop!

May 1, 2012 - I realize this is super late, but I'm an ex Blockbuster and Gamestop manager, and can completely relate to these stories. In fact, I have quite a few of my own. lol
