How does this guy only have 12k subs?

I went to GameStop last week. I never really go unless I need to get a game really quick. I ended up getting far cry 5 for my sister ,so we could play online together. They're really nice at my local GameStop.

I know You tube has weird algorithms that punish people for being creative if that creativity does not result in a numerous view count but you should consider doing short videos dedicated to beer every so often. Its obviously a topic you are somewhat interested in and I think its safe to say many others are as well. I know I am.

Pawn law is simple, it is when any used items comes in, it is held for incase it was involved in a theft/robbery or such. Then if it is, after all the paperwork is filled out, the item is returned to the owner.

My new favorite youtube series

Can't stop watching your stuff, also love seeing your quality go up since I'm binging your videos from the start 👍👍👍

I remember 4 years ago I went to GameStop to buy Zelda ocarina of time 3d but they didn’t have any in stock so they had to request to have the game shipped from another GameStop

This totally explains a store near me that has like 4 spined rows for each console that are so tight on the shelves...it even sucks to squeeze them out as a customer! lol

Hey Fanta, could you make more of these Tales from Retail series? I see that a majority of people like watching this type of content, me included.

I'm just starting to collect Pop Figures to decorate my library. My ManCave is filled with 200 McFarlane NHL, NFL & a few other MLB and Austin Powers series 2 figures & 4 box sets. Still not done the collection yet. Anyways, even though you didn't crack a beer I still sparked a few medicinal bong hits to watch your awesome Tales From Retail series - I really loved the Old Man story from part 2 of the last episode and your content in general. It keeps a dying man like me positive and I always have a Fanta-Tastic day! Many thanks for the amazing content. From Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada peace out, Fanta! ✌😎

I love the Tales of Retail series. Could you please elaborate on the pawn laws? Was that a state or city law? Do you have any more stories about the Chinese restaurant? Thanks for the video.

Love your videos Fanta 📺

Overstock has been the main issue where I work since I started there a year ago. I won't mention specifically where I work because describing this in detail could possibly get me in trouble, I'm not sure so I'm not going to take that risk, but I work at a gift shop of a historical landmark and when I started working there last year the overstock situation was unfathomable. The previous manager who was in charge of ordering merchandise before I started working there must have been ridiculous. Instead of ordering between 100 to 300 pieces of a new item like a shirt or mug, he decided to 'save on shipping and production cost' by ordering them by the thousands. So instead of monitoring how well this new mug is selling from the initial shipment of 300, we instead had at least 10,000 of them shipped to us all at once, if not more. And this was for several items. So since it's a historic landmark which was not designed as a retail store, these mountains of boxes full of the same merchandise had to be stacked in every conceivable place that wasn't seen on the tours we give. The basement, the closets, the attic, the pantries, the outer buildings, literally everything available space not seen by visitors was stacked to the ceiling with boxes of merchandise. It's like an episode of Hoarders for us staff. Granted by the time I was hired on that manager had been fired, but we're still sitting on top of all this merchandise that has been stored on the property for almost a decade now. And it all has our logo on it so we can't just drop it off at Goodwill, we're stuck with it until it's finally sells. So it's not uncommon for me to fetch merchandise from inside the building the guests are touring while trying to stay out of sight of the tour groups. I'm like a ninja sneaking in and sneaking out with a dolly stacked with boxes between the tours. I love my job so much, but this is a disastrous situation that we're going to be dealing with for years to come.

Awesome video as always, it's always good to hear a new story as well as see what beer you're drinking. You're a retail connoisseur and a beer connoisseur as well. Keep up the good work man!!!

Honestly, this guy deserves more subs. He gives a lot of interesting insight from stores most normally visit in a calm, understandable manner.

Hey man I'm manager at a phone company retail store. I love your vids because I can relate your stories so much. Congrats on escaping not only retail but wilding customers

Over production/underconsumption. Welcome to late stage capitalism.

Wookies! Heck Walgreens has that problem too. Also my crackdown does not boot up.

I've got an overstock of social anxiety and loneliness. How much is it worth per unit?

Out of all the youtubers names fantavision your my favorite

Super underrated channel - hope to see you grow even more ~

hey just recently found your channel I subbed N hit the bell your stories are quite entertaining! I have one of my own back when I was an extremely frequent customer at gamestop. One day I walked in as a customer looking for a card to buy credit for a Free to Play game I used to frequent called planet side 2. Planet side would sell these credit boosters at game stop and in return from buying it there you would get an exclusive weapon. I am assuming this was the reason why there was a lot of physical advertisements in and around the store promoting planet side 2. Anyways I asked the cashier if they had the cards because the place was jammed packed, they had no idea what I was talking about and even questioned if they carried that item. Now this was a movie moment! I say that because right behind this guy was a giant almost human sized advertisement that took up the entirety of the portions of back wall that were not littered with product that was a giant planet side 2 advertisement. so I pointed behind him, we had a good laugh he hunted down the card for me and it was cool.

Very interesting GameStop tales and very well narrated. Subscribed.

I'm watching you before I have to go into work at GameStop bahah XD

I love how you always post during my lunch break at Wal-Mart

When I was little I used to walk into GameStop with my mom and there would be PS2 games *smashed* into these huge crates, clearly ruining the cases, and then to make things worse, there were even more ps2 games stacked on top of the smashed ones just waiting to fall off. What a nightmare...

Usually when I find someone awesome and I sub, they already have tons of subs. For some reason you don't though? You need more subs!

I just discovered this channel a few days ago and I'm already a fan. I know you're not a giant channel yet, (you should be) but one thing I admire about you is that you try to respond to comments and read as many as you can. Not very many people do that, so thanks, Fanta. Just went into a GameStop recently and I basically treated all the employees as kindly as possible because now I know what sort of stuff they go through haha. Had to get the game I wanted shipped to me though because they were out.

I work at at Pawn Shop. thats where I watch your videos (which i love by the way). I get a few systems brought in every month. They dont get much money for them but hey, I guess they need the cash quick

These videos are my favorite thing to listen to. Keep up the good work

What we would do is face our best selling stuff and spine the stuff that doesn’t sell as well. But rare items (because we specialized in retro games) would be in a glass display case that doubled as our counter or on the wall behind the register. That’s where the retro stuff that was like $30 and up would be. I can’t tell you how many copies of Super Smash for N64 we sold at $60 a pop. That stuff never lasted more than a week. Smash and Mario Kart for any system we could never keep in stock. This was in the tail end of the big retro boom, too.

Man takes me back. We had spindles of games in the back grouped together in 25's thanks to the UPS trade ins(people would jack ups and sell us the game. No case etc. Like brand new anything we'd have it day 1 used. All shady) Dont forget to if you sold lets say that guitar hero that's been sitting on the shelf for ages, cooprate would ship you 20 more because you sold 1. Smh

Such a likable personality.... love the mellow yet high energy you put out. Plus, great content man! I really enjoy these videos and hearing your opinions and stories. I usually listen to these when I'm in the car on the way to work or when I'm bored by myself and I always look forward to getting a notification from this channel. I've been watching since sometime in mid 2017 if I'm not mistaken and I'm really glad I found you. Great person, awesome content. Keep it up man! I can tell this is something you really enjoy doing and your enjoyment sees through in your videos and makes me enjoy the content even more. I look forward to seeing more content from you in the future and watching the channel grow.

I really enjoy the intro with the can description, pop or bottle open, and BIG SIPPY. For real though it’s satisfying, I know a lot of viewers hate it but don’t chuck it out.

Please never run out of ideas for this series :D

People treat Gamestop like a bank too. At my stores here in Atlanta, ppl would preorder tons of games, pay them off over months and then pull all the money by cancelling. Many even admitted it.

Another amazing video by the ever awesome Fanta!!

Get home from long boring day at work, heat up some spaghetti, eat in the sofa, put on your anecdote vids as background: this is relaxing ^^

My favorite beer is that harvest patch shandy tastes like pumpkin bread

As a toy collector Game Stop is great one week a Star Wars set is 50 bucks by the end of the week 4 dollars clearance!

Keep doing GameStop episodes, I love it!!

I'm off work on Tuesday, these videos make Tuesdays even better.

Awesome videos! Can't wait for the beer reviews!

I work at Walmart and we have a ton of apparel overstock. Especially right now, we have way more Junior's shorts than we'll sell.

I wish I was born a decade earlier, then I would be alive when a brand new GBA SP backlit version for under 100$. And imagine Gamecube games like pikmin, metroid prime, ssb, luigis mansion, and mario kart double dash for under 10$.... Now you would be lucky to find them 40-50$ used with the case and manual.

I love every one of your videos, can't wait to see your channel grow even more 💕💕💕 oh, and I love you 😘

Question what type of cards do you have in that yellow deck box?

Would love for you to go into Theft, I'm sure if you did I"m new. I'd like to hear about theft from customers, managers, and employee's. How hard, or easy was it? also, the size of each store, are they all the same design, and dimensions, are some larger than others, or smaller? Do any of them are double levels?

I'm not old enough to drink, but I always know the beers that you're trying out, since it's usually what my Dad drinks. Which means you have good taste.

The regional private used game store here called Pre-Played will just refuse a trade in of a game if they have too many copies of it.

FANTA! Whats up dude. Keep up the good work

i can relate to so much stuff you talk about in these videos ive been in retail for over 10 years ive worked at places like circuit city toys r us Verizon atnt radioshack and your spot on with everything... ive seen and dealt with it all im glad someone else has felt my pain lol

What’s the deckbox in front of the monitor for?

my man, what's in that deck box? what card game? casual player or a regular?

Love the vids! Can you get your roommate to talk about his job at Best Buy since he mentioned he hated it there? That would be sweet!

also i work for a store like albertsons or safeway vendors will order too much shit (coke ,pepsi , gate city ect.) and they fill up the entire backroom with pallets to the point you can barely walk across

Oh, other people think Too Human sucks too? Glad to know I'm not alone.

I like how I got a Wal~Mart commercial before a "Tales from Retail" video. Did you ever work at opening at walmart and have to do a cheer before starting? We all stood around clapping and doing a cheer.. Give me a W... W!!, give me an A... A!!, give me an L... L!!, Give me a squiggle.. so dumb. Yes they actually did the squiggle between wal and mart.

Our store has tons of madden and nba 2k copies. It always makes me laugh when people give me attitude about the trade price of Madden 18 when I can just pull the drawer open and show them the 30 copies we have.

I hope you'll do a video on gamestops "specials" like buy 2 get one free except you'd need to be a member. I remember watching a commercial when gameshop was buying games for 15 dollars per game, and yet the games I wanted to trade in would just give me a couple of pennies. (They where xbox original games but at the time I didnt owned one 360 game) and I swear everytime I went to a gameshop for a buy 1 or more and get one free the cashier always told me I need to be a member to get the deal. Im not sure if you really needed to be a member, or this was a cheap way for the guy getting one point for selling a membership to a customer.

Fanta I'd like to know what the deal is with the fake printed gamestop cases? Trade ins without a case?

How is this not trending like wtf I've been getting it in my feed for weeks

nice vids man, I wonder how your room looks like. Paper and games even over the bed i bet

Man I’ve always realized this shit at my game stop. always just old sports games that nobody is buying anymore. Sometimes they would be there so long that there’s different price tags on them. Maybe I have some lazy workers at the one by me.

Is that a deck box in the background? What does it contain? (OuO)?

I always thought used games were supposed to be spined, and new ones, or $50+ were faced.

I wanna hear about the skylanders craze madness that happened every year when a new game came out lol

I think working at Gamestop is hell on earth..

Bargain bin games displayed at the register is an awesome idea! Too bad they had some really bad ideas too!

As far as the toys go its more than likely an outside vendor that only sends a certain amount

i swear this guy looks exactly like my cousin lmao

Episode idea: Gamestop dumpster divers and the stuff Gamestop throws away.

I loved Too Human 😥

Wow, 15k subs... You just hit 5k...

I went to gamestop to get fry cry 2 today. Old game figured it could of been disc only. It's digital so I got a psn card. They didn't try and upsell me on anything.

I've seen a guy roll his eyes when I wanted a specific game , and I DID SEE him struggle , he was a prick, lucky for me I got a free game, I would never spend a dime at GameStop. I only go in when I can get what I want without paying

How old are you Fanta? You look way younger with that sonic cap than you did in your older green screen videos. Thanks for your videos man, I enjoy them. And I've never even seen a GameStop in my life

We don’t have GameStop in Canada

whats in the deck box

am i the only one that somewhat like the gaming and ane merchandise at gamestop

That manager sounds cool as shit. I hope gamestop realized what a gem they had with them. (I'm sure they didnt)

Nothing worst than tight drawers Fanta!

Overstock in ink cartridges

I love Gears of War so, so much.

Yeah it was with nice old lady i mean she tried to help regardless of how little she knew iwas getting a used game and here geting the case was horrible

Curious. Where did the name Fantavision come from?

Fantavision? More like AvarietyofbeerVision

I commented on a Walmart video from February and if I came off as a dick I didn't mean to, I forgot to mention how I subscribed. Granted I watched that video 2 minutes ago. I love retail stories tho lol

what do you have in that Yellow deck box? Magic ? Yugioh?

do you play warhammer or anything like that ?

of course the captain and his wife had been the first to go out of a place where the police was arrested for the war on women

Okay i'm only half way into the video, but has anyone hear of that one gamestop that would break the stuff they couldn't sell?

Why would anyone want to work here, it sounds like you're getting underpaid overworked and hassled more than what it's worth.

And you peaked my interest

I swear Game Mania in Belgium must be owned by Gamestop or they copying how they operate. Here too store space is being taken up by bunch of random crap.. they even have a wall of candy and other snacks..

Shitstop needs to stop taking trade ins and move that inventory to start making money and stop becoming an ATM. Apparently they will start selling comic books in their stores now 😂

I saw a squid.

I thought the back didn’t exist

Hey man im here all the way from germany and i love your vids

I find the content here pretty interesting usually, but the “Fanta-tastic” line gives me horrible douche chills. My pre-historic ancestors can feel the cringe.
