You don't have to get shitty. Unclench yourself and calm down.Krion_Vark said:You don't seem to be getting what I am saying so I will say it clearly this time.Jitters Caffeine said:The problem is it ISN'T said they can do that. It just IS done.Krion_Vark said:then tell them to read their contracts better then. Because if it specifically says that you cant do this then they can do it doesn't matter if you think its morally right or what.Jitters Caffeine said:Geez, I specifically said this was something my friends who are former employees saw this happening, and if I didn't I certainly meant to.Krion_Vark said:The funny thing is that you are saying that I am arguing Hypotheticals while you yourself are also arguing hypotheticals. Yes it does happen SOMETIMES but so does mine. Its actually well within the rights of the places to do. I mean it could be a perk for that store to be able to get first dibs on something or like you said the store could also have a hands off approach. Neither is really right or wrong because say you are really looking forward to something and get ready to buy it from the store you work at only to be told that 2 days prior to its release that you can't? Yeah people would probably speak out against that too.Jitters Caffeine said:Well now you're arguing with hypotheticals. I'm saying that holding copies of games or new consoles when customers are WAITING for the product they paid for isn't right. Most places don't let employees take sought after merchandise like REALLY popular games like at Gamestop or maybe even TVs at a place like where I work until after a certain amount of time has passed. I'm saying SPECIFICALLY that employees squirreling away games and consoles when they have customers WAITING is simply wrong.Krion_Vark said:What happens if said employee preorders and pays in full before a lot of other people? Does that still make it wrong for him to pick up his preorder on launch day before anyone else simply because he works there?Jitters Caffeine said:But this is when their SUPPOSED to be filling preorders made by customers who have paid their games in full, then can't pick it up because they're holding them for themselves.Satsuki666 said:Well that does make sense. I mean when there is only going to be a limited supply and its a first come first serve it only makes sense that the guy who works there would pick up his copy first since he would be the first to pay for it. Just because they work there does not mean they are not allowed to buy anything from the store.Jitters Caffeine said:From what I hear, there's a good chance that they HAD enough coming in, but they had employees and Managers call "dibs" on systems during the first shipment. I understand it happens quite a bit. So much that customers can't pick up new games because employees have squirreled away copies for themselves.
IF IT DOESN'T SAY THAT THEY CANNOT DO IT THEN THEY ARE IN THEIR RIGHT TO DO IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER OR NOT YOU THINK ITS MORALLY RIGHT OR NOT. Hell there are a lot of places that have weird morals when it comes to how to run their business but apparently the only place you seem to care is gamestop.
Simply NOT saying YOU can't do something is a really lousy excuse. That's like me going into work, grabbing the PA system and telling the whole store to go fuck themselves. I've read the employee hand book cover to cover because I'm a good employee and want to keep my job, there wasn't a thing that said we couldn't do that. But I know for a fact I would be fired if I did.
