A response for GameStop employee complaint

A few days ago, a GameStop clerk posted his “memoirs”, working at GameStop. The blog shared this GameStop employee’s complaints about being overworked, over-abused and underpaid, especially by clients who tend to be ignorant of the services and products offered by the said company.

In response to the said blog, another writer wrote an open letter, outlining his concerns about working in the retail industry. This counter-response from Ruskin offered a challenge to retail clerks to have a better look at their jobs. Ruskin writes,

First, I challenge anyone who has worked in retail to say with a straight face that they loved their job, that they never had to answer a single stupid question from a customer, and that they never received harsh criticism and verbal abuse from perfect strangers.

Ruskin points out that having to deal with such “disagreeable” clients is part of the retail job. He ends with the statement, “Simply put, all retail sucks. Welcome to the real world.”

This exchange of ideas may serve to have us take a better look at ourselves, as buyers in the gaming retail industry. These GameStop employees deserve to be treated with more respect; after all, we get our gaming goodies, care of them.
