Astonishing Tales from Working in a Computer Game Store
Working in retail during peak periods can be an absolute nightmare, and stories of extraordinary customer interactions are a popular topic of conversation. Regardless of the type of store you work in, chances are you’ve encountered a customer doing something absurd (or funny). However, working in a computer game store presents truly unique opportunities to experience the most cursed customer behavior.
I myself have many strange and wonderful stories to tell from my time working in retail. After watching “Rostered On,” an Australian comedy series about the employees of a fictional chain called Electroworld, I realized just how common these stories are. From serving elderly men who, for some reason, thought a minimum-wage fifteen-year-old wanted to give them her number, to confrontations with typical “Karen” types, the tales from working in a computer game store are both terrifying and captivating.
You’ve probably heard of “Rostered On”. The show has been airing for several years and depicts the struggles faced by retail workers. While it is a comedy and a parody of life, some of the scenarios portrayed are eerily similar to real-life situations. Working in customer service is a daily task that raises the question of how humans became the dominant species on Earth (without oppositional thumbs, I’m not sure we would be).
Computer game stores bring a new dimension to wild interactions that are both terrifying and addictive to read about. That’s why we want to hear your strangest (or cursed) stories from working in a computer game store. Whether it’s a story about a child who may or may not be the Antichrist spreading chaos, the ironic joke of “any sales going on?” heard for the forty-first time in a day, or just a fascinating interaction with a customer that you still think about to this day – we want to know. Does “Rostered On” come close to your hair-raising or amusing tales from working in a computer game store? Let us know, and we’ll share the best stories with you for your enjoyment.
And if you’re looking for more nightmare-inducing retail tales to drown your own experiences or to get closer to art imitating life (in this case, the behavior of Australian customers as store employees document these memories to share over drinks later), “Rostered On” will be airing for the next few weeks on PEDESTRIAN TELEVISION, which you can watch on the 9Now platform (channels that, it must be admitted, are owned by our parent company and our parent company’s parent company – try saying that a few times).
We await your cursed stories, dear readers. Share them with us!
