So around noon Wedesday they removed the dehumidifier and a carpet cleaner crew came and tackled the, well, carpet. Office of Redundency Office. The carpet is clean now thank god but the crew decided to undo all the cables to my entertainment center so no Xbox 360 till tomorrow cuz I'm lazy. Moving onto inventories, with the new computers at work

I can't speak for GameStop, but at EB if you had a run of good inventories you'd only have inventory every year to eighteen months, and thanks to the class count and perpetual processes (which have probably changed in the last five months since I left EB) a manager should always have been on top of his shrink.

I miss inventories. They were fun. Managers would get together. We'd talk trash. We'd make stupid bets on who would scan the most and who would scan the most accurately. There were inventories where it wasn't even close, I'd skunk people.

The first (and only) time I did a GameStop-style inventory, though, that sucked dog's balls. One phaser, and one wired scanner? A register than ran on DOS? By cthulhu, it was the technological dark ages.

Yeah, we got...........TWO wireless scanners one inventory and that was it, and that was when I was still the assistant. That was like.........ugh...........2 years ago. Fuck that. The Peak Kits that EB used are amazing. Just gotta make sure everything is labeled and all will be well. They did a company wide register conversion starting in June and we got ours done super fast. The EB POS is ungodly good. They're doing updates like every 4 months with even more awesome features so rock on.

Which EB/GameStop did you work at?

My first EB, from '99 to '02, was in Pennsylvania in the Philly suburbs. Then the company transferred me to North Carolina, and I managed a store near Raleigh until late summer '06. I had a good run, but I don't miss it like I thought I would.
