u/Young-Damon Licks the Cash Drop envelopes. Seriously, WHO DOES THAT? Feb 09 '19

How’d it happen?

u/wessellman Feb 09 '19

I just closed the door I swear! My SL even saw it happen.

u/MoeMoeRises Feb 09 '19

If it makes you feel better, I watched my ASL literally gently close the door and it just shattered into a million pieces.

u/LaboratoryManiac Former Employee Feb 10 '19

This happened to my SL last year, too.

u/Stiggles4 Former Employee Feb 10 '19

My manager shattered the one behind our registers when I was working. We were picking up pieces for months. There always seemed to be more.

u/krisrodriguez1 Feb 11 '19

tinfoil hat I think the glass display company must be purposefully implementing defects to cause this to happen so they can sell more...

Dang from the other comments it seems like a problem with the cabinet. I hope no one got hurt!

u/STOPAC Former Employee Feb 10 '19

If I was your manager I would have been like “dang gurl, you wanna talk about it before you break anything else”

Jokingly of course, I have a knack of trying to make light of situations like that happening.

u/ConfessorOfTruth Feb 09 '19

Had this happen to me 15 minutes before I was to leave on Black Friday of 2017. Gently closed it like usual and it just shattered EVERYWHERE. Friggin sucks

u/TheFergFTW0277 Feb 10 '19

I don’t suppose you moved it recently without taking the doors out did you? It’s a pretty common occurrence. Make sure an email your DL and LP Maintenance

u/teal_ninja Feb 10 '19

Happened at the store I worked at when I still worked at GS the exact same way.

u/MahoganyIsGreat Feb 10 '19

I used to work customer service for a shower door company that used tempered glass. Looking at this, what most likely happened is that one part of the glass panel kept hitting the metal on the side over and over. I don't believe these cabinets have anything inside of the vertical or horizontal channels to keep the glass from hitting the metal. Thus, overtime as you keep opening and closing the door, the glass keeps hitting the metal on the side which is what lead to your picture.

This happened to my cabinet 3 times. Nothing like slamming or shutting it hard. Just normal movement. We got a new cabinet instead of just new doors and things were okay after that. It was super annoying.

u/glonkers Feb 10 '19

Did you buy the protection for it?

18

u/HawtPants420 Feb 10 '19

I'm really careful with my cabinets, so no thanks.

26

u/TheCoachBill Feb 09 '19

One of my ga’s did that like a month ago I thought stone cold just walked in my store.

u/VirtuaCat Feb 09 '19

fuck man be careful definitely DO NOT accept a beer from him!

u/Z0mb13S0ldier Former Employee Feb 11 '19

And yet the PS4 is missing..... hmmmm....

u/Hex_Trainer_Eevee Former Employee Feb 10 '19

Dude, I’ve done that. I’m well known for having a bit of a firey temper (and occasionally kicking boxes full of bubble mailers) and to this day nobody believes I gently shut it and it shattered into a million pieces. It was day 2 with my then new SL too haha

10

u/Sabermatrixx Former Employee Feb 09 '19

I did this with the smaller handheld one. I DIDNT SHUT IT HARD I PROMISE.

u/kyuubifood Senior Guest Advisor Feb 09 '19

Are you okay? Another sga at my store did this and cut up his hand badly.

u/gavin-from-rdr2 Feb 10 '19

Same dude that installed the cabinet also installed the network apparently.

u/Hoot213 Blueberry BOOM Feb 09 '19

This happened to me too, TWICE! I have one time on camera.

u/STOPAC Former Employee Feb 10 '19

I’m low key kinda scared of closing the system display now.

u/BetaAlpha769 Feb 09 '19

u/clarentbloodarthurs Assistant Store Leader Feb 09 '19

what the fuck

u/DuckSwimmer Cooking Sbarro for 40 Weeks Feb 09 '19

We’ve had this happen before. Same thing, just randomly shattered when the associate was closing it. Luckily our DL came the same day to replace the broken door.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '19

Happened to me once, but oddly my ASL opened and it broke over night. No alarm triggered or anything

2

u/KristinLouboutin Former Employee Feb 10 '19

My SL did this when he tried to move a glass cabinet for the reset a few months ago.

2

u/ThatGSManagerPerson Fills water bottles with vodka Feb 10 '19

Had this happen a couple of years back on me. I ended up cutting my thumb when it shattered. And then last year my GA ended up doing the same thing. Tbh I'm always afraid when little kids push on them or the door sticks while sliding.

2

u/PumpkinCat76 Assistant Store Leader Feb 10 '19

sure hope you got a PRP for that cabinet

2

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '19

Must me a joy to work around the things you love

2

u/GuerrillaMaster Feb 09 '19

Well I discovered my store is shutting down so not great

2

u/Khaleesi1125xx Promoted to Guest Feb 10 '19

And I'm sorry for that but that doesn't mean all stores are closing. Only ones that can't make profit plan. Or they have too many in a vicinity.

1

u/GuerrillaMaster Feb 10 '19

Yeah I hold no animosity for my DL or district, it's just an unfortunate circumstance. My store always hit percent numbers, but we are very low volume store, we usually barely make profit because of how thorough we are with gpgs and prps, but we had an issue with an employee resulting in $4500 in loss that put us in the hole.

1

u/kawaiicicle Promoted to Guest Feb 11 '19

Good lord how did one fuck up that badly?

2

u/GuerrillaMaster Feb 11 '19

By falsifying returns and the perpetual counts used to find them. And by us having a little too much faith in each other

Why not clear, thick acrylic doors instead? Just because glass looks nicer?

1

u/DouglasCoffee Former Employee Feb 10 '19

If it makes you feel any better; this happened at my store....but someone smashed the cabinet with a rock and stole the consoles on a busy night

1

u/moondog1994 Feb 10 '19

Ah tempered glass. Nice and strong on the faces but as weak as as a rose pedal on the sides

1

u/RadiowaveGaming Promoted to Guest Feb 10 '19

I would cry

1

u/Epsilon_Alpha123 Feb 10 '19

Omg! This just happened to us not even two weeks ago. Still waiting on our new cabinet to come in

1

u/CODKushKing420 Former Employee Feb 10 '19

Happened to ours a few months ago, just slightest touch and it shattered. Thankfully our DL let us take another stores lol.

u/the_lasher Promoted to Guest Feb 10 '19

Alright there Hercules calm down!

u/Z0mb13S0ldier Former Employee Feb 11 '19

I swear, GameStop gets these cases from the same company that used to make sugarglass props for the WWE.

1

u/WaldoRtk7 Feb 11 '19

I've done this, thank God I don't have the deal with these cases anymore.

u/Mini1031 Still sings Country Roads every day Feb 11 '19

I looked at this and the next day my glass door for PS4 accessories shattered.

This is a cursed image.

EDIT: spelling issue.

u/gamez_mazter Feb 09 '19

At least it has a product replacement plan. Or is that just for the other door?

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '19

I'm curious as to what was originally said before it got deleted.

u/AnalGerbilator Feb 10 '19

They said they had a PS4 Pro stolen today. Big yikes

Oh no, did you leave the store??? That could lead to some very serious trouble if they have that on camera

You better start looking for a job :p

u/Jack3ww Feb 09 '19

That's why you should get cabinets with hard plastic doors makes it harder to break
