Our retail employee culture isn’t all doom and gloom, in fact I’ll be so bold as to call it all FUD.

I’ve never told or even hinted I’m a GME investor in a store. Well I was with my friend (who recently started aping shares after seeing my obsession) at a store we’ve never been to.

The lady manager, maybe late 40s, was the only employee. Calm, friendly, and knowledgeable, she projected the warm authority of a laid back librarian who has never “shushed” anyone… really was a vibe in this store because of her!

I learned she was the location’s manager during checkout & asked a few questions about her thoughts on the whole PSA thing (said she’s used it herself as much as any customer). Then my buddy chimes in.

Anyways, I kinda corrected him on the spot saying “typically we don’t wanna disclose to employees that we’ve invested, but she seems really cool” “oh why” “some employees have an adversarial relationship with the store” (as I’ve been brought to believe by the FUD!).

But it ended up being a super positive “slip up” by a newbie because that’s when she told us a quick rundown of her history with the company. Wild. FUD obliterated in my mind by an awesome real world in store experience!

Oh, we got some crisp t-shirts, and burned up some of my points on funko pops.
