I hated having to always push the "Edge Card" on customers to the point where I just didn't do it and even gotten written up for it. And if things were slow, we'd even talk about their experience with the game. I loved it when they'd come back to me and tell me how much they loved my recommendations. I LOVED MY CUSTOMERS! Especially the elderly who referred to all videogames as "tapes" and every console as a "Nintendo".Good times. My absolute favorite part of the job was interacting with the customers. $10 an hour wasn't worth the long hours and aggravation I saw the company putting their managers through - I'd rather deal drugs and risk going to federal prison. In fact, I was being trained as an assistant manager when I just told my manager that I didn't want the promotion anymore. My manager was great, so was the district manager, but the company does a lot of stupid stuff to shoot themselves in the foot and made our lives miserable. Speaking of hours, at the particular store I worked at, I either got 1-3 days a week but multiple shifts, or 3-5 days a week with 1 shift. The one time I actually had to use my health benefits, turns out they paid for hospital but not the ambulance, so I was stuck with a $1,000 bill while making $7.35 an hour. At the time I was working for this company, I did so because they offered health benefits for part-time workers benefits which basically consumed my paycheck down to less than $50.
