Kotaku - GameStop: We Can Stay Open During Lockdowns Because We're 'Essential Retail' [read threadmarks]

If they close down the employees will stop getting paid, so I can understand why they would want to stay open.
I imagine if they are ordered to shut down by law enforcement or official agencies, they probably will.

Why would you quit when the job market is just completely fucked?
Employees should be organizing a walkout at this point. Today. Before Animal Crossing releases tomorrow.
Because they;'re being asked to literally argue with police and refuse to close during a pandemic.
They're likely going to be forced to close very soon anyway. May as well make a stand against a morally corrupt company.
From what I'm seeing on GameStop community sites, employees are already considering walking out because of this.
It's fucked for everyone no matter what. I'm out of a job until at least September. But I wouldn't choose my life or others over fucking GameStop. If you're seriously saying people should stay over a damn minimum wage paycheck, your priorities are an issue buddy.
Don't worry, Gamestop gonna hire Phoenix Wright to defend them.
This is real?Yes, GameStop is essentially telling their employees to argue with police if they show up. Was about to make a thread on this.
Hobbes Feel free to add these images to the OP. The top one is from a friend of mine, bottom is from Reddit.
Fucking insane.
This company is an absolute fucking joke at this point.
It's not funny. It's sad and pointless.
These cats are nowhere NEAR essential and NO, their small selection of electronics does not fucking qualify them.
I hope Kotaku sends this to authorities so either states or federal government can tell their asses it's time to close. Now
Incredible.

their logic is so flawed lol, if you are in lockdown then you can just buy the digital game, the very thing that has killed their business, lmao
I mean the DNC went through with Democratic primaries on Tuesday so nothing fucking matters. If those ghouls don't give a shit can you imagine a corporation?
Lmao they are actually making the claim that their products are needed for people to work from home? What disingenuous scum fucks.
I think this is exactly it. If they have to close for a few months that'll be it for Gamestop. They were barely clinging on before all this started. And now even more will go digital.
What are you doing? You already tried to make this issue about Reggie in the last thread because you thought he was already working there.
You were called out for not being informed on the situation.
Now you're trying to do it again by posting this tweet and ignoring the context.
Stop with the agenda. Reggie does not work at the company for another month. You were told this in the last thread.
Desperate for revenue.
I understand their desire to stay open for people at this time - but WHAFTS of a bailout attempt.

Fuck gamestop and I'll be glad when they're out of business. (A shame for the workers.... but their employers are legit fucking assholes)
Yes. My friend said that his manager is considering walking after her shift today.
Just a reminder, that GameStop flat out lied about their sanitary conditions in the stores during a press release earlier this week. Employees have been complaining of not having sanitary wipes or cleaning supplies. Even if they managed to stay open during all of us under some sort of weird definition of an essential retail, they're not giving the employees anything to keep themselves healthy or others that come through the stores.
What. The. Fuck.Yes, GameStop is essentially telling their employees to argue with police if they show up. Was about to make a thread on this.

Even if they manage to stay open (which I doubt, we're talking about PUBLIC HEALTH) what kind of sales do they expect to make right now?
Are they really sacrificing their workers'/customers' well-being for... arguably a couple of bucks?
If I'm going to be buying physical video games for the next few months, it's absolutely going to be at a local game store, not GameStop. Fuck 'em.
Disgusting and bottom-of-the-barrel desperation. I hope workers there get covered by the package the government is planning because GS is absolutely not an essential service. They're putting the health of the nation at risk because they, at the company's top level, are clearly so screwed financially.
No way to switch to shipping? I'm surprised they haven't set this up.
Reggie doesn't actually join the Gamestop board for another month.
