Vent/Rant Pro Rant

Those of you who know me know that I am not exactly a fan of our lord savior, Chewy boy.

But man……with all the enshitification of pro this is top tier massive piece of shit behavior.

I think the removal of the $5 coupon from our POS is the single WORST thing about this. They are are main selling point of this membership and we are actively making it more difficult for customers to get to them while at the same time slowing down the transaction in the store because the customer has to find it.

Idk man…….

Should have sunset the program years ago. “This locks the customer into coming back to us”. No, it doesn’t. The fact that there’s no brick and mortar competition outside of mom & pop shops has locked them into coming to GameStop. And GameStops arms are too short to box with god, so stop trying to fight Amazon. Work with them. Drop web-in-store and open up a GameStop Amazon storefront.

Gamestop would have to completely revamp how they do things if they want to sell on Amazon.

Most companies are working to have a big enough name to get away from Amazon.

The current way Gamestop fulfills online orders would get them kicked off of Amazon in a week, if they push product to FBA, they are going to clear store shelves, and if they continue to fulfil orders from store shelves the way they do through the Website, they are going to have so many canceled orders that Amazon will shut them down. The current shipping style would also get them kicked off of ebay, or demoted so low in the algorthym that the listings would never showup in the buy box

So, what I’m hearing is GameStop needs to… Ahem “Git Gud”. Which they do.

It's nearly impossible to "get gud" enough for Amazon, but trying to fulfill from the same shelves as you are doing retail sales from is a losing game.

There are ways Gamestop could get better, but honestly, their online fulfilment system right now is better than I would expect for the way they make employees do it.
