I figure this is best suited here

Well as you may know, I recently got a job at GAME. I figure it's best posted here as, well, it's the gaming section. But I've been training a few times and found out a few urban myths that I can now confirm!
The first belif is that the PEGI system isn't used as a proper system, more of a guidline. I can confirm this isn't true with GAME, I've been told to refuse service to people if they don't look old enough with the PEGI warning on it. The second myth is that you have to be 18 years old to trade in an 18 rated. This is true, I'm not aloud to accept 18's from a 12 year old and if I do, I could get fined up to £5000.
Oh and I get a 25% discount and 5.78 an hour :8

Disclaimer -This may not be true of your store but it's true of my two stores!

Not a bad discount

£5.78 :P They should of just rounded it up £6 an hour, eh? :)

Good luck in the job, now... get me damn discount too.

I officially hate you :(

Haha, most people would take 3.51 tbh!
It's a good rate for a xmas temp.

How many hours a week do you do? Or how many hours do you do in a day and how many days do you work a week? (So I can be nosey and work out how rich you are :|)

Too many hours will result in NI tax though lol.

Which one do you work at mate? Vic centre or near Broadmarsh? Good luck with it btw. :D

How many hours and what age are ye?

Nice discount!

Fairly good discount.
I'm guessing he'll be 18+ though. At least, my GAME had a poster up for xmas temps saying don't apply if you ain't 18.

I'm the youngest on the staff, I'm 16 by a few months.

Most people are like 20+ though, I'm on a nil hours contract but I think i'll do about 8 hours a weekend.
Wayne i'm on Listergate.
And Paul do you use Screwattack?

Indeed I do Poojie, have been for 2-3 years now.

Awesome, I realised when I saw that the nerd was your homeboy ;)

25% discount, wow nice! congrats on getting the job and good luck with it, hope you enjoy it mate.

25%!!
hai ur friend manda wud like a game...........

dammit, i so need a job

Hi my fellow GAME employee! :P I've been at GAME a year now.. started as an xmas temp last year. I just helped on the group interview for half of our temps this year. We're taking on 16! Ugh. Good luck though, you'll love it. Working at GAME is so relaxed.. apart from the whole, 'DONT SELL AN AGE RATED GAME AS YOU CAN PAY MY FINE AS WELL AS YOURS!' ;P

LOL Yeah they strike me as a relaxed bunch, just need to learn to operate the till properly!
Thanks for all the support guys :) I have to declare what I buy using discount though, so no games on the cheap for you lot!

Well done on getting a pretty decent job! :]

I started today, pretty awesome.

Im coming to Nottingham just to buy games

I could goto Trading Standards then because GAME let me buy BF:2142 and BF2 when that's a 16 and I'm 15. Hmm I shouldn't of said this, haha.

Anyway well done on getting a job and nice discount :o

Thankyou :)
And if you look 19 then you're fine. If not then the dude who served you will get fined 5 grand.

Oh and if you need to buy a console, use me. I have sales targets to meet!

Shame there's no commission though, eh? I had one guy who wanted me to put his Wii and DS through because he thought I got commission. Didn't have the heart to tell him I didn't cause he was lovely.. but he didn't buy the one main thing.. Gamecare >.<

Gamecare is a ***** to sell, you just can't do it!
I managed to sell one which im proud of, if i got comission i'd be over the moon though. I was flogging so many Wii fits, a ds, ps3 and 360 all in one day!

Damnit
