GameStop Hate

Every time there is anything posted about GameStop it's a bit annoying for me to see the kinds of negative things posted about the company.  Honestly, I won't defend everything that they do, but people need to understand they are just like any other business and they're out there to make money.  I wouldn't really consider them more or less evil than any other large corporation.  It's always about the bottom line when you shop at a large chain.

Anyways, working for EBgames (GameStop) has been a great experience for me.  Too often I hear so many negative complaints about employees who work there.  It's true, not everyone hired there is a game expert, or even friendly.  My experience before I was an employee was positive anyway so I've never really had an issue.  Sure, some stores do hire jerks, but the same can be said about an store you may go to.  The point I'm trying to make is that I hate being generalized as being unknowledgable and/or abrasive, which is irritating to say the least.  I take pride in my job and always do my best to inform and help customers whenever possible.  I work with a lot of great people as well so it's like when people leave those comments they are trashing my friends as well.

Just a little venting on my part.  But seriously, if you don't like the company, take your business elsewhere.  I'm in a job I enjoy and am working to make money for myself.  Being generalized is not something I enjoy.
