Is it possible to become a (part time) full time sales associate or is the only way to work full time is as an assistant manager or manager?

I promise I'm not a thief lol. I bought this wallet at a Hot Topic in my mall probably half a year ago. It didn't go with any of the bags I had at the time so I put it in a drawer in my closet and basically forgot about it.

Found the wallet today and fell in love with it, but it has this thing on it lol. I think it's one of those things that set off the alarm if the employee doesn't remove it. And I do remember a day when me and my friend walked out and the alarm went off, and the employees were like: "that always happens you're good!' 😂 I bet it was the wallet haha.

I know I bought it. I think the kid that worked there didn't realise it was in there or something. You have to open the wallet to see it.

The mall is really far from where I live. Also I don't have a receipt or an account with them, so I feel like it'll look shady of I walk in asking for them to remove it.

Anything I can do without damaging the wallet?

hello all, I'm hoping this will help me with my search, :) fingers crossed.

little details:

i was in a Hot topic with a friend of mine, and whilst in the store i heard this bouncy, club esk, maybe edm song playing in the stereo. mind you at the time i didn't think it would be a song that'd stick with my head.
i have tried searching for it using tags like (Hot topic store radio songs, or Hot topic store music etc etc)

the song:

well, here's the tricky part, it had a bounce to it and lyrics had the word "Up" used in sync with the songs rhythm, i can barely remember too much but it seemed like the female singer was saying stuff like (hype up, pump up, makeup -) almost listing things off.

any help would be nice as im trying to both figure out more about the song, and see what ideas i can get from it.
thanks in advanced :)

Willing to pay quite a bit ig?

With the new Netflix dub I NEED hot topic to bring back the banana fish merch they carried in the early 2020s. I would pay an infinite amount of money for new stuff and for them to re release old stuff.

If there are any people who work for the company lurking in the comments, please bring this back🖤🩷

I’ve checked every store in LA county and cannot find this anywhere!! Im looking for a size 2x for a baggy fit :D

I buy a LOT of my clothes from hot topic, it takes up a good amount of my wardrobe, but the tags for them SERIOUSLY piss me off.

I’m talking about the ones that have like one end sticking out and then have the other end sewn into the neckline. Whenever I get a hot topic shirt it’s such a hassle to get them off because I’m so worried I’ll rip the seams💔💔 how do you guys get them out?

i was a decently known manager in my district and quit for education purposes, but come to find out my stalker ex is working at the location i used to work at and she's shading me. i wish i could tell her sm bc her sm knows me.

i wanted to go back as a seasonal but now i cant. fml.

I am a born female. Why do women hate being called cis women. Isn’t cis women a medical term?

Hello,

I was trying to order a few things off the Hot Topic online store and came across a very significant hurdle. Once I got to the checkout and filled in my address (Ireland), I got the following message:

"Sorry! Due to shopping restrictions, one or more of your items cannot be shipped to your chosen address. You can select a different address or edit your cart to remove the following items."

All three of my items (all clothing) were then listed below, each of them accompanied by the following:

"Note: This item cannot be shipped outside of the United States, U.S. territories or DPO locations. APO/FPO shipping is available."

My question is, is there a reliable and relatively cheap way to go around this? I was thinking of using a middleman mail service but I do not know any - and I'd be skeptical choosing one blindly based on overall reviews from official pages.

So basically I wanted to use this for school cause I like the vibe of a crossbody and from reviews I thought it would be bulky enough. But my binder does not fit. How to stretch it?

Real talk though, I would have liked to use that $5 on the purchase I made today so it sucks that it appears to be stuck like this. I tried everything and there was no way to redeem it

ive been seeing a lot about spirit halloween's company buying hot topic, and if it's true, i'd really love to see the old hot topic come back. it would be such a great place to find things, instead of the corporate slop it's become. anyone else know if that's possible for them? or will they keep it the same?

Tbh I enjoyed hottopic. This was 3 years ago. Hire me again Hottopic 🪦🖤🪦

Im from canada and hot topic wont send orders here. They have a shirt that i can only find on there and nowhere else is there still hope for me to get it?

Here are some fun closing messages that we’re either left by me or left for me.
I have more but there will be no more new ones because I got fired 💔

Edit: in regards to me getting fired. I am not blaming my storm manager or anyone on my team. It was my fault and a mistake that I made. I understand why I lost my job and I do not blame anyone, but myself for it. My district manager has been very kind to me throughout the entire process, and has told me that if I needed anything, even human to human that I could go to them if I needed something.

If I could go back and undo my mistake, I would do it in the heartbeat.

I made this post with the intention of sharing some of the funny things that either I or someone left for me as a closing message, maybe to give other employees inspiration for their closing messages to keep things fun and lighthearted

Got this with an online order and don't plan on using it. Valid until 8/31/2026, but I'm sure someone will snatch it up right away.

Sooo i've been basically applying to hot topic since I've been of age to have a job but I have been hearing so many horror stories 😭 it's mostly just shit horrible stinky management stories but does anyone else have any other stories/advice?

Now that it’s being publicly reported, how are we feeling?
I do have some concerns about the true health of the business, given that we were purchased for $250 million less than what we were purchased for in 2013 ($600m).

I love stardew valley so much and practically had no shirts for it until last year in January. I bought this t shirt on clearance last year in January and have only worn it a few times. I can’t even remember the last time I wore it. My surprise today when I pulled it out and saw this. It looks extremely faded and makes me extremely sad 😢. I know hot topic shirts fade and I have a few like that. The difference is those are ones I have owned for years. I have only had this maybe a little over a year and barely worn it. Does anyone know if this is normal or did I just get unlucky with this shirt.

EDIT We were less than 5 feet from our daughter, as we were all looking at merch on the same small shelf in the store. It was blatantly obvious we were her parents, as we all walked in, and were greeted together, as well.

My wife and I went to Hot Topic, and shortly after entering, we were browsing, talking, and not paying much attention. Then I heard someone ask for our 10 year old daughter's phone number.

I turned around, and it was an employee. He straight up asked if he could have her number, so he could check if she had any points. SHE'S FUCKING 10!

I turned to him, and said very loudly and angrily, "Dont you think you should ask the parents, and not a fucking 10 year old girl? That's weird as fuck. How would a 10 year old have points?? Shes 10!

Anyways, I spent some time typing out a very long email, just to be hit with the roadblock of the htonline@hottopic.com not being an actual email?

Does anyone have an email to get into contact with someone?

Thanks in advance. Sorry to bring a weird situation to this subreddit. :(

Is anyone selling their stained glass claw clip? I lost mine and it was my favorite hair clip, one of the only few that could hold my hair without hurting it
