1. Sells a "discount card" that simply removes the tax from any purchase and adds a paltry amount to the already undervalued trade-ins.
2. Can't be bothered to produce mock display cases, so they open a new copy and use that.
3. Considers the potential rental(s) of said copies by employees, to not count toward considering the game "used" and proceeds to sell the above mentioned copies "as new".
4. Many employees are so casual they'll stand around talking and playing PSPs while customers wait.
5. Will buy a used game that sold for $59.99 last week, for $12.00 (credit) then, sell it for $55.00.
6. Apply a penalty of -20% for cash trade-ins.
7. Used game prices for new games are only five dollars less than new.
8. Do not take cases, books, maps, other pack-ins into consideration no matter how important, when considering price for used merchandise.

Why shop at Gamestop or EBgames when you can go to eBay or, any other other user-based exchange, and buy or sell games for sensible prices?

A place where they will force you to be open on Easter Sunday, even though the nine other stores in your strip and the 12 across from you are closed...two weeks after your store was held up by three masked me with shotguns in broad daylight. A place where they will have someone come in your store to move your safe from the locked back room up to the front counter DURING BUSINESS HOURS for the world to see. A place where "Loss Prevention" will come in your store and tell you that you have to let customers use the bathrooms. A place where "Loss Prevention" will tell you that you must take the deposit to the bank every day RIGHT BEFORE YOU OPEN, same time, without deviation, for the entire world to see, instead of allowing you to take it during the day at different times, which would be safer and a lot more inconspicuous. A place run by corporate monkeys who have no clue what goes on at the store level. A place that really doesn't care if you live or die working there, that gets continually robbed from the inside and out.
Gamestop really sucks
Working at Gamestop really sucks
We've been robbed 6 times since we opened this Gamestop
We've had 4 break-ins since we opened this Gamestop
We have cameras at Gamestop, but nobody ever gets caught
I can't believe they still work at Gamestop

A videogame store where at least one under qualified female is hired per store as by law. Not for their knowledge of video games but their bra size and Hooters experience. Most games that they are aware of start with NBA or WWF and are hired in the masses by the lonely, lonely Store Managers. See EBgames or Dumb Blonde

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
