Police investigate EB Games slaying

Feb 3rd 2007 10:13AM (Joystiq)
Ok I used to frequent the store on San Pedro when I lived up in San Antonio, hell I even put in an application there and I still think that this is crazy that this happened. I know work at an EBGames in a smaller town. As for the person up there that said it got worst after the merger with GameStop I'm going to have to disagree with you. After the merger, our store fired the original manager hired somebody competent and got the store running right, then they proceeded to install video cameras one watching the backroom and one that watches the entire sales floor not like the people falsely stated above that they only watched employees. Sure inside theft is a problem, its like that in any retail job. And as for saying the company doesn't care about safety and only care about profits that is completely bogus maybe you have just experienced an a$$hole for a DM but ours is not like that. Also if they are so worried about profits why is GameStop offering such a large reward for anyone who can lead to the arrest of the suspect? As for the opening by yourself yes it does happen but it is usually verrry slow especially on a Monday which lets the opening manager do all the operations work, like title-on-hand where they scan all games on the floor to make sure they are there and do things like send out the defectives. If the pace does start to pick up and get really busy then they call a GA(part timer) and see if any are available to come in then cut hours later in the week, it's not that complicated of a process and happens in many retail stores. It is very tragic thing that happened and I hope that GameStop really steps up on the placement of cameras, I thought once we got our cameras in our EB and GameStop in my small town, stores like these that are targets for burglaries would surely have them. Hopefully GameStop takes this as a wake-up call and really cracks down on getting the cameras put in in all stores.
