I was hired to help open a new store. A store where the manager was male, and everyone he hired? …female.
He was definitely trying to cultivate a "Hot GameStop" kind of situation. Word got around, and we had people coming in to visit ours when they had other stores much closer to where they lived.
They didn't really buy anything, they kind of just lurked around for hours at a time, chatting the staff up. There were days when they'd wait for us to close up, that was kind of scary.
I was eventually let go for "not being friendly enough", which was apparently about three months before the manager had a total screaming meltdown during store hours, declared himself High Archangel, threw some shit at a customer and was later picked up by an ambulance.
So I guess my horror story is "the whole damn job".
