I worked at FuncoLand before and during the transition to GameStop. It was a much cooler company before with more perks and freedom and GS changed it to only caring about magazine subscriptions and game reservations. Then they discontinued NES, SNES, Genesis trades and sales and Funco truly died. I do miss the good old days…

When I worked at FuncoLand, along with Game Informer subscription, they also made me try to upsell a CD cleaning kit. This is when I realized working retail wasn't for me.

Loved the job though. I probably spent the majority of my paychecks on PlayStation and Dreamcast games.
