Newbie and the Beast

In my head I cheer. I'm no longer the newbie in my store.

I have made my way up into the store chain. Instead of being a measly Game Advisor making a sad salary of $5.20/h, I am now a Store Game Advisor making $6/h. Sure, it's not much of a pay, but the fact it was an 80 cent raise makes it more appealing.

Tonight (last night) as I was waiting for 9 to roll around, starting about 8:30 some quite familiar faces started rolling in. (Besides my 2 friends who were picking on me for my performance in Tetris on the day of the Wii preorders.) These faces were the ones I had seen for days on end. The eager 16 year olds who wanted a job at Gamestop. Who came in asking when our store manager had begun looking at applications. What upsets me is he's pretty much hired every kid who applied. Well not every, but most. One, being the girl who had brought in a brown recluse spider. This is 9 new employees. I'm no longer the one who doesn't know anything. Who doesn't know how the store works.

I've made myself known, or at least I've tried. Anytime I call EB Games in the mall, I pick on the workers there because I've met almost everyone of them (Minus the Pancho guy, but he knows me as the girl who tells him to get to work). I've made my way through and now am above the ones who are there now (meaning the new ones, not the coworkers I have had, because they have been there longer). It's been almost a year, and it's almost hard to believe a year ago this month I had barely just discovered Gamestop. And now I'm working there.

All I gotta say for the newbies is...watch out. You may have applied here for the discount, or the fact its a gamestore, but it's not going to be easy. If I find one game out of place, and find out it was you who put it there, there will be hell to pay. OKAY not really, but it's going to be fun scaring them.
