[AUS-MEMES] The EB Games Red Poster Phenomenon Explained
McJob:
Australia is loving weird.
This is your average EB Games store in Australia. Bathed in Red Sale Posts. It's become a natural part of Australian life, like the Liberals being evil or boat people ruining out water supply.
Thankfully, this hard-hitting investigative report from Pedestrian.tv has revealed the truth of the matter.
--- Quote ---The new approach was you get sent a stuffload of posters, sale wrap, sale cards, price point cards, boxes and tape. You get told by the area manager (Satan) to cover the store, make tables out of the boxes and to push the limit of what centre management will let you do: push the sale table into the walkway and stuff.

--- Quote ---There was about a minute and a half last August where we had absolutely no sale. This was quickly corrected. Gotta love those cheap games!

--- Quote ---The intensity was upped and upped and upped. The area/state managers were crazy, cult-like, in how they wanted you to plaster stuff everywhere on their stores. We'd be like, hey, there's no room for prams/wheelchairs with all these signs and such.
They'd be like 'Oh they'll fit, put more on'. The answer was ALWAYS 'Just put more on'.

--- Quote ---Now that you mention it, we haven’t managed to get any sale stuff on the floors yet. Maybe next year.

And just to make this post really Australia, here's a classic #auspol Simpsons meme for the road.
