The store that is the king of bullshit. They will hassle you to no end after you purchase your game(s). They always charge too much for used games. Sure you can get an Edge card, but that barely does shit. They don't pay enough for trade-ins. They don't care who they hire, or if they played games or not. Just an awful store.
I got 10 FUCKING dollars for a relatively new Wii game.
One of the employees was an old lady.
I spent 15 minutes getting ONE game because the guy kept hassling me about new releases.
Seriously, fuck gamestop.

Shameless harassment of a customer by a cashier in the checkout line at any retailer for purchasing useless add-ons, warranties, or other junk that you could really care less about.
Named for the bullying of customers by GameStop employees to by Game Informer when you just want to pay for your video game and leave.

A "Gamestop" is a person who exhibits the qualities and idiosyncrasies of an individual who one would assume is employeed at a Gamestop video game retailer. These characteristics can be include, but are not limited to, personal hygiene, social awkwardness or anti-social behavior, and an overall creep or stalker vibe.
The guy I work with is a real Gamestop. He even wears a black trenchcoat. Does he think that's cool or something?

When a group of people coordinate to intentionally bankrupt multiple hedgefunds and short-sellers by buying GameStop stock.
The hedgefund was doing well until it got GameStopped

What us commoners used to overthrow the greedy, slimy fucks at Wall Street.
Redditors invested money into GME and made large sums of money in a short period of time. Some even became overnight millionaires.

Dude 1: Dude, I invested $700 into Gamestop and I got $5000
Dude 2: Dude, nice! That'll show those greasy, slimy fucks over at Wall Street.

1. A large retail chain that has swallowed up and crushed every other video game store on the planet, thanks to their cutthroat business tactics and biased marketing deals with game developers.
2. A pawn shop that specifically caters to ripping off unsuspecting children.
3. A place of supposed business hiring idiotic fanboys too stupid to realize that they won't make enough money to buy the games they love so much due to getting no hours on the schedule for lack of upselling magazine subscriptions like a drooling girl scout.
4. A special section reserved in the fourth layer of hell where your wallet and sanity aren't the only things raped.
5. A place where fangirls flex their knowledge in hopes of wooing unshowered, overweight nerds, only to reject their advances, because no one outside of Gamestop or the MMOs they play will give them a second look.
6. A business where the average transaction takes over 25 minutes to complete because the clerks hold your purchase hostage until they recite a novel's worth of asinine bullshit concerning pre-ordering of a title due to the district manager's bonus that's tied in.
7. A decaying, outdated, archaic business model that will choke as soon as the next generation of consoles that don't play used games launch.
8. A store where the district managers have never worked a retail gig, let alone played an actual video game, grind employee souls into the epoxy used to create the fee-ridden Comdata pay cards.

Clerk: Howdy, boss, welcome to Gamestop!
You: I'd like to purchase this game.
Clerk: That won't happen until you reserve nine games and buy this magazine which gives you $0.02 savings on every purchase.
You: No thanks, just the one game.
Clerk: Are you sure? My overlords are watching me right now, and they're going to sacrifice a human baby and drink its blood in the name of Mammon if I don't get 47 reserves and 23 subscriptions today...
You: I'm going to Wal Mart, Target, Frys, or Best Buy where they don't nickel and dime me for stupid shit, have whatever I want in stock whether I pre-order it or not, including special editions that you short-sell to doctor supply and demand, and I'm pissing on this broken demo Wii stand on my way out in hopes of giving the next child that tries to play it AIDS so he'll die before you get any more of his allowance.
