So I'm going to work at Hot Topic

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm quite fine at GNC. Only 5 days into the job and I looooove it.

Anybody working at a Hot Topic or a video game store is basically required by law to have a snarky sense of humor and self righteousness. They're all like thinner versions of Comic Book Guy. And everytime you go in there they always have a discussion going on about some obscure pop culture thing.

I used to work at a FuncoLand (GameStop before it became GameStop for the youngins) it was pretty cool, only thing that sucked was when a parent dropped their kid off, thinking we were a babysitting service, and then would be pissed when she came to pick him up and he told her we wouldn't let him play any of the games. We actually started putting in games that needed special controllers or light guns to play like Duck Hunt.

LoL. A few years back, I went into a GameStop to pick up Silent Hill 2. As I came in, I noticed two 8-9 year old boys playing on the PS2 set up for customers. I picked up my game, and browsed around for about 10-15 minutes. As I came around to pay for the game, I saw the manager go and tell the boys that playtime was over, and pretty well gave them the boot. There were probably some ticked parents after that, lol

There's a store over here that has a sign above the kiosks saying, "you have 10 minutes of playtime....after that, peace.

I wouldn't mind working at Hot Topic. Just a different environment.

Eh. I'll never understand the whole ''Oh my god. Don't go in Hot Topic" they won't bite your head off.

I mean I'm not exactly emo boy. I was pretty popular in high school and most of my clothes come from American Eagle, Abercrombie, etc, etc.

I do however go into Hot Topic ever now and then and besides not really liking the music you can find some cool shirts in there.

Yeah, they have cool shirts, but do cool shirts outweigh my sense of hearing with their loud crappy ass emo/screamo music playing?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Walking into Hot Topic is like standing in the middle of a pack of Dementors

Get some Hogwarts ties.

Good. That way I'll know who to kick in the groin.

 

[Motown Marvel]

the only reason i'd ever work at hot topic would be to make fun of everyone who shops there to their face. that'd make it well worth it.

 

[AndThePickles]

And ATP would? They'd think she got lost on the way to American Eagle. They're not the friendliest of people.

Haha, I despise American Eagle.

 

[terry78]

Haha, I despise American Eagle.

I'm sure you did, but they'd look at you and immediately assume Hollister/abercrombie and fitch type.

Not by the way I dress

[Victarion]

They have some nice HP shirts right now. For my music T's, I go to Target.

I usually have good luck when I go in-the cashier and whoever else is working doesn't act like self-righteous pricks.

 

[Addendum]

I've not been there in years, but they sometimes have some good metal shirts.

I could never work there since I don't think they could handle actual metal

 

[Kritish]

What happened to Creed?

They got lost in the barrage of other assorted crappy bands, no one likes Christian rock. :
God I hate emo's I think I'd go on a killing spree if I worked at Hot Topic.
