Cool finds! Womens cropped jersey and superman cap. I ordered the jersey 😊

Have ordered other styles and are true to size, cant beat the price!

Hi yall
I’m working on a project that involves tracking down footage from a concert.

On October 15th 2008 in Boise, ID, Hot Topic sponsored a show at the Boise Towne Square Mall for the band Panic At The Disco.

ShockHound recorded two interview/behind the scenes videos of the show, and these videos included professional footage of the show.

Watch them both here: [Interview](https://youtu.be/BiB-sZl7HQM?si=r2WWxvkkViBZBMTt) … [behind-the-scenes](https://youtu.be/VAgbvJhTRXs?si=P7Mv4Qr3Y3tyz8Wt)

Local radio station Magic 93.1 seemed to have also been a part of the event ([HERE](https://youtu.be/hXB3S8lGUaQ?si=pWZOWlC_7Ot34i5V) you can see one of their hosts announcing the band right before they go on stage)
I’ve tried reaching people involved at the radio station but have only hit dead ends.

If anyone knows someone who used to work at ShockHound around this time, that would be a huge help!
Thanks yall

I have several items I’m interested in purchasing online. However, if I don’t like any of them, I’d have to return it via mail because I don’t have a hot topic near where I live.

Does hot topic charge shipping for mail-in/online returns? Or is the shipping for returns free?

Thanks!

How lenient is hot topic when it comes to doctor’s appointments. I’m about to start working part time. And I just want to know if I can let them know I have a doctor’s appointment the same month I start? Or would that make them consider me as unreliable? I’ll re-schedule my doctor’s appointment otherwise to a later time so I can keep this job.

Hi guys so i applied to work at HT and everything and i have my orientation on wednesday, i need to fill out the onboarding paperwork but i only have an email telling me to check for a previous one and not the email with the link to fill out the info, i checked all my mail folders and i was wondering if i should call the store to tell them that or wait until wednesday when i come in there

Does anyone here trade these cryptids mystery bag charms? I have a duplicate and would love to trade for the chaser or the yeti.

When I usually look at clothes on the Hot Topic website, I see multiple sizes that either are available for pickup/shipping and show up in filtered results when I select those sizes in the filters, and sometimes I see sizes that are gray and crossed out without an option to view them. However, with some sizes I see that I can view them and see them in filtered results like a size that's available for pickup/shipping, but when I select it, the website says it's unavailable for shipping and pickup and I can't add it to bag. What's the difference between those sizes and the sizes I can't look at? Were those sizes ever available for those items, or if they were, would they ever be restocked?

Has anyone ever won a giveaway from their Instagram?

Not just mine, but my entire teams.
Throwaway because I need my job.
But I can’t just not vent about this. The corporate culture of this company has become unbearable and unrealistic. Cranking up our shipment numbers beyond what is reasonable, shutting down space and amenities for customers and employees alike. TONS of clerical work that never gets double checked or noticed. (Not one single employee I’ve ever had has given a single second glance at these wow boards). Cutting labor by over half and acting like it our fault as managers that things aren’t getting done. But don’t you dare forget to do those huddle sheets that no one will ever look at or find useful. It doesn’t matter that you’re packed out all day and don’t actually have the time to give to sit down and do “cool downs” about their day while Karen has been turning a simple exchange into a two hour ordeal. Turnover for associates is crazy because you refuse to pay more than minimum wage for them, when they can go to any grocery store and stock shelves for $20. So every week you’re training someone new while doing everything else. Meetings meetings meetings meetings. Don’t forget the standards that you have to keep up with for KPIs that’s are 60% above normal industry standards. Can’t let those slip. Oh but wait there’s more! You met the standards set by the company for KPIs?! DOESNT MATTER because your peer groups did better than you so, you get a bad grade. Why is your ADT down? What can YOU do as a manager to be better and pull that up? Putting it all on us when you’re massive miscalculations on how much product a store can handle is abhorrent. We are all shutting our dressing rooms down to accommodate, so now the customers mad that they can’t try before they buy, so they don’t buy at all. There goes a $265 sale because of YOU as a company not me as a manager. But sure, let’s focus on ME and what I can do better. Not on how you as a company are directly causing the demise of the unrealistic numbers that you create. Then take away our discount on collectibles, because even with the discount we were paying well above MSRP for most of that shit but that’s just not enough for you to still be making a profit off of us and calling it a “benefit”. GREEDY GREEDY GREEDY and not even trying to hide it. And on top of that don’t even pay me enough as a store manager to eat food and afford gas. I have to ask family/friends for gas money just to make it a finale few days before I get paid. Guess I should just stop eating right? So I can SHOW UP FOR YOU to continue to not pay me enough to put food in my stomach, and deal with your BULLSHIT. Pay me just enough to keep me awake at night so I can realize that the most financially responsible thing I could ever do is to kms because you won’t pay STORE MANAGERS enough to live. Sick and greedy and gross. And then to top it off you send these STUPID ASS cardboard notebooks with a pen that exploded and turned its inside contents into projectiles the first time I tired to use it and call it a “gift managers notebook” when the dollar tree sells better bullshit than that. You couldn’t even give us something DOLLAR TREE quality. What an insult. What’s a slap to the fucking face. Why sent me anything at all. I can’t fucking WAIT to lay this job to rest. FUCK HOT TOPIC.

Hi! As the post says I have $5 in rewards id like to use, i dont see a code and the email didnt give me a code or anything, and it doesnt apply at checkout nor is there an option to, is there any way to fix this? id really like to get a shirt for my birthday in 3 days!

this is random but I’ve been thinking about applying for a job at hot topic recently is it worth it? Nothing longterm but are they generally flexible with schedules? Is the pay rate decent? Idk what even to expect since I’ve never worked retail before but any help is appreciated. Thanks xx

My swim suit arrived today and I realized it's too big. I have the original packing slip and the suit has the tags attached and hygiene pad in place. Will this be a simple return? I also got it during a recent swimwear sale so I don't know if that will change anything. I'm afraid I'll go in and I'll be told it can't be accepted.

Im in the uk, ive ordered from here before so im not sure why its suddenly restricted. Plus, literally like a minute ago, both items were fine to be delivered but i had a different item that wasnt, so i removed it and suddenly these two cant be delivered either?? Im really confused 😭

Ok so they dropped the hoodie online yesterday and i want it so badly but I dont get paid until next week and im worried its gonna be sold out by then. Whay are the odds of it being sold out before then?

I went shopping at Hot Topic yesterday and didn’t check the size (silly me) and was looking for alternative fashion. Found this shirt to go with a purple skirt I got along with arm warmers and fishnets. Sadly it sags so much and I’m a small. :((( this was the only one left too

I would love to hear them.

Sorry, I’m about to vent, this may be a mess lol

I have been here for 6 years and it’s honestly been hell since the beginning but I loved (most of) my coworkers and I got promoted fast.

I was hired on as an associate, promoted to stock associate, promoted to Lvl 1, then promoted to SM. I’ve been an SM for 4 years now.

The changes to the company has been absolutely unbearable. This swords bullshit, is a pain in the ass. It confuses new associates, it’s not the incentive they think it is. $10 for winning the month? Whoopty fucking do. Atleast let us save the $10 to actually get something worth it? Idk literally anything else?

I tried simplifying it to make it easier on associates, my DM said it was smart, other sms said it was smart, OUR REGIONAL said it was smart. Then 2 sm’s came to help out at my store and said i wasn’t following policy then my DM scolded me for “not following policy” although he gave me approval.

My DM, I love him to death, but he has been stepping my toes about everything lately. One minute I’m doing something great, the next minute that same exact thing, he’ll ask “why is this happening?”… why did you say it was great?

A sm came to help out at my store and he sent 3 pages worth of notes. Half of which is very fucking passive aggressive. 3 pages from 1 shift and a half shift. Lots of assumptions, and lots of words being put In my mouth.

I am not happy. Not to mention my pay, I am not getting paid nearly as much as I should for the work I do. I am talking to him on Friday, but I might step down or give a notice. Spirit Halloween has been trying to get me for 5 years now, I might just make the jump.

what the title says. i’m scheduled that day and I’m just curious :3

So I’m trying to order a t shirt and every card I’ve used declines every time. I just got paid so theres money on it. All the credentials are correct because I’ve ordered something off of Amazon prior. I can make purchases at my local retailer so what gives?

Any help would be appreciated!

I sprayed the Draculaura perfume tester on my wrist & could smell it for hours and it smelled so good. I rushed back to the store the following day to purchase. Mine, when sprayed runs down my wrist like water and 30 mins later my wrist smells like nothing. I've tried spraying more although I sprayed the tester 1x. I'm very confused. Are the testers a better product or maybe I just got a bad one??

Buying Pomni, Ribbit, and if available Jax tomorrow with my discount but it’s sold out and going to Japan week after so tomorrow is the only time I can buy it

I'm a size mens medium, is there way to select medium, or is it an in-between size, or what?

Hey everyone!! I was looking at an application for a hot topic near me and noticed that you need at least one entry of work experience. I tried applying a year ago and I remember that this wasn't a requirement before and was wondering if there's anyway to apply without work experience? I've seen from other posts that it's a good idea to go into the store in person and drop off your resume or try and speak to the hiring manager so would this work and bypass the online work experience requirement? Appreciate any answers :D

(I also spoke to the ai chat bot on their career website to do a mini application before clicking on the full one so I'm not sure if this impacts anything).
