My former home store, where I probably had the best, crazy, weird, insane, out of their mind employees in the world, but I loved them! Who should I start with, not going to use their real names here, but I’m sure my old staff will figure it out. I’m going to start with Ike, now this guy knows everything there is to know at Gamestop, and when he wants to work, their is no one like him, he should have been a store manager by now, but he doesn’t want the headache, He was a pain here and their, but overall he is a cool guy even though he is a Giants and Rangers fan, he has a good head on his shoulders, and has a future as far away from retail as you can get, once he is done with college, he can drink like a fish as well, and still be fine for an 8 hour shift. I could count on him to get things done in short notice, and count on him not to get things done other times!!! At is next, dude really go root for another team besides the Jets, this guy was a customer who kind of begged for the job before I hired him, but hire him I did, and I must say he was a headache every now and then, but he always meant well, The funniest thing about him was watching the video of when the toilet hose broke and water was going everywhere in the stockroom, how he closed the bathroom door and put paper under the door instead of just closing the water. He is a good kid that drunk texts and drunk calls people! At get your act together and good luck in your life, finish school and get out of retail!!! The next guy is Ndy, boy this guy was funny and tried to give his two weeks twice, but I never had an employee who was actually politically aware as this kid, and he was pretty smart as well, but retail is not for him, he cannot stand customers with stupid questions, and we had plenty of them over the years, I wish him luck in his future career, he will do very well!!!! Lex is a very sweet girl, I remember when she first walked in and asked if we were hiring, and my DM said Hire her as a joke becasue she was a girl and she was good looking, but I called her in for an interview and she was a gamer at heart so I hired her, she is a very sweet and caring individual, good luck with everything girl finish school and get out as well, you can do much better that retail. Sica you are funny individual, and sometime I think you are a Asian girl trapped in a white girls body, You are also too sweet and again hired you because you were a gamer, a girl and good looking as well and all the gamer nerds would drool over you and Lex. You got out when you actually got a real job that is taking you places, You are also a very sweet girl, and I wish you the best, Good Luck with everything!!!! Iego, you are a good kid, with a good head on your soldiers, and you have better things going for you so why waste your time with Gamestop, but it was great working with you for all that coffee you bought me from Dunkin Donuts, lol, sometimes I think I hired you just for that purpose, but in all reality, you are a great person, thank you for all that coffee and thank you for driving me to and from the airport all those times, remember life can be a bitch at times, but overall keep looking forward good things will always be found! Ic I think I hired you to take over the coffee duty from Iego, lol, dude you started out working your ass off, but over the course of the months I think the other employees rubbed off on you and you started to slack, but you are a good kid, confused at times yes, but get your act together and run your life the way you want it. Ette, you don’t work in the store anymore I think, hired you for the same reasons as the other girls, and you would work your ass off, a little nervous on the registers, but good with customers and the rest of the staff, you have a very warm personality, and just because life has hit you a few times doesn’t mean you can’t give life a few punches and move ahead, good luck to you girl. Cole I hired you as a favor to the DM and he used to give me the extra hours to have you work at first, but after he couldn’t give any more extra hours, I kept you on because you proved that you wanted to work and were capable of doing a great job with everything especially numbers. Jo, now you could have been an Assistant Manager or even a Store Manager but you chose to go away to school, good for you, and you finished and got yourself a real job, you my good man were also aware of everything going on in the world, and you also worked your ass off, was always glad to have you for the holidays because you worked your ass off. Arry who else could I turn to for car advice, lol, man you were a funny character, good worker and good person, glad you found yourself a normal job and finished school, good luck to you brother… Polo, my buddy, how long has it been now that I know you, was very happy to get you back in and in my store, talk about knowing what you are doing, and thanks for my Halo 4 and Creed 3, lol, you are my brother not just my friend, what more can I say really!!!!! Ian, my friend you are a very good guy, people like you are very few and far between, and I’m glad I was able to help you get into Gamestop, but you need to realize Gamestop is not this all knowing do good corporation, they are after one thing and one thing only and that’s money, don’t be blinded by them, always keep your option open, but always stay the same nice guy, and start rooting for a new team, those Jets are horrible this year!!!! Dan Zar almost forgot about you, your a good kid, stay out of trouble!!!!!
I miss you guys and the fun and annoying times we had, the midnight’s that non of us wanted to do, but we did them anyway to get our games the same night, the lack of hours, and the crazy customers we had, I wish you all luck in everything you do, who knows maybe I’ll see you guys again one day, as long as you keep in touch on Facebook or whatever social media takes over when Facebook dies like MySpace did..lol….stay good guys and girls, you were my family away from family, I probably saw you guys at time more than my wife and daughter..lol…Take care everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
